Katherine L’Etang is an author, speaker, content creator, and late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD woman who is changing the way we talk about neurodiversity.

Known online as @TheNeurodiversityMom, Katherine has built a community around the realities of autistic and ADHD life - the parts that are misunderstood, overlooked, and often left out of the conversation. Her work blends humour, lived experience, and advocacy to challenge stereotypes and make space for a more honest understanding of neurodivergence.

After navigating her own late diagnosis, Katherine became passionate about helping others make sense of themselves through a different lens. Her work explores everything from masking and identity to the complexities of raising neurodivergent children in a world that often expects them to fit a mould that was never made for them.

Her debut book, Actually, I’m Autistic, published by Tarcher, an imprint of Penguin Random House, extends that mission beyond social media, bringing her perspective and experience to readers looking for understanding, connection, and a language for their own experiences.

With a community of more than 200,000 followers across platforms, Katherine has become a voice in conversations about autism, ADHD, neurodivergent parenting, and acceptance. Whether through writing, speaking, or digital storytelling, she brings an approach that is direct, relatable, and unafraid to challenge the status quo.

Katherine lives in British Columbia, Canada, with her husband and two children.
