I’m Clare, pronouns she/they, and I started OTC in 2024 having been late-diagnosed autistic at the age of 40 in 2023. An ADHD diagnosis followed soon after. I’ve a background in nutrition and health, having numerous health issues since my early 30’s (and the autistic urge to ask the “why is this happening” question with regards to said health issues, leading to an interest in integrative and functional medicine!).
I’m also a freelance writer covering topics such as: when to tell your date you can’t have kids, why the heck doesn’t Ireland have cannabis dispensaries yet, how did my grandad end up taking a photo of James Joyce’s brother in Italy in 1947, and what it’s like being late diagnosed AuDHD. You can read these up on TheJournal.ie
Current hyperfocus(es!): autism and the needs of neurodivergent individuals, Hans Zimmer scores, learning the piano, interior design (in particular designing ND-friendly spaces), Pedro Pascal movies and TV shows, and sausage dogs.
