Case Study 3: Holistic Support for Neurodivergent Students
Client: Anonymous
Challenge:
This client, an autistic student, sought mentoring support that was both neuro-affirming and understanding of their unique needs. They wanted a mentor who could provide relevant advice and insights from a place of lived experience.
Solution:
As an autistic mentor, I offered tailored, neuro-affirming support that addressed both the client’s academic and personal life challenges. Drawing from my own experiences, I helped the client understand their own ways of functioning, while providing practical tools to navigate university life.
Result:
The client shared, “As an autistic person, having an autistic mentor has been immeasurably helpful. Marina is kind, supportive, understanding, and insightful. They’ve helped me understand so much and I am very grateful.” This holistic, affirming approach gave the client both the understanding and tools they needed to thrive in their academic journey.
“Marina’s Consciousness Salons were just what I needed. It came along just at the right time. I felt so nurtured and cared for while I was there and it was great fun too! Marina is a wonder! She’s full of wisdom and love. The open, honest environment allowed me to make big shifts in my personal and professional life. I really came home to who I was and the sessions propelled me into uncovering the difference I really wanted to make in the world. I feel so blessed to have Marina in my life.”
