Send us a text
Bridget Hampstead shares her journey from discovering her own neurodivergence to founding Fish in a Tree, a virtual community center supporting neurodivergent adults.
Her work combines community building, political advocacy, and neuroaffirming practices to create spaces where late-diagnosed autistic individuals can find acceptance and belonging.
• Founded Fish in a Tree after realizing neurodivergent people lacked community support
• Pivoted from physical center to virtual programming, expanding reach nationwide
• Faced challenges with neurodiversity language acceptance in the Deep South
• Represented the US at UN's World Autism Awareness Day despite censorship
• Increasingly focused on political advocacy as disability rights face new threats
• Programming specifically resonates with late-diagnosed autistic women
• Writes daily on neurodivergent topics while seeking funding to address critical issues
