ABOUT
Welcome to my world
Hi, I’m Asten — autistic, creative, proudly chaotic, and deeply passionate about making the world a bit kinder (and a lot more honest).
I’m a writer, autism advocate, and professional overthinker with a love for storytelling, pop concerts, nostalgic chaos, and heartfelt connection. You’ll usually find me juggling fiction projects, blogging about neurodivergent life, or trying to convince people that cuddly Basil Brush is a valid bedtime companion. (He is.)
I’ve spent years learning to unmask — to show up fully as myself, not just for others, but for me.
Now, I use that lived experience to offer support, comfort, and creative expression to others who feel misunderstood or stuck between worlds.
Whether I’m writing YA books with big emotions and bigger personalities, helping someone plan a wedding that actually reflects who they are, or offering peer support to someone navigating their diagnosis, my work always comes from the same place:
Realness. Compassion. And a deep belief that every neurodivergent person deserves to feel seen.
If you’re here, I hope you find something that makes you feel a little more understood — or at the very least, a little less alone.
SERVICES
💬 Peer Support Chats
For autistic or neurodivergent people who just need someone who gets it.
You don’t need a formal diagnosis or a five-point plan. Sometimes you just need a safe space to talk — about masking, burnout, relationships, life, or anything else.
🕒 45-minute Zoom or message-based sessions
🌱 Judgement-free, lived-experience support
✨ Sliding scale pricing available
Because you shouldn’t have to navigate this alone.
💍 Custom Wedding Ceremonies
Not your typical “Dearly beloved…” script.
Want a ceremony that actually feels like you? Whether you’re neurodivergent, non-traditional, or just allergic to cringe, I’ll write a personal, meaningful script that reflects your love — and your chaos.
