"In looking for someone to develop and deliver Autism Affirming Practice training for our staff and volunteers at Empower Autism, I was extremely fortunate in finding Kory Sherland, the autistic founder of Autie Talk. As an organisation whose purpose is to empower autistic people and, as approximately 50% of our team identify as neurodivergent, we needed this training to be authentic and to be delivered with passion and understanding. Kory delivered well above my expectations. Kory’s knowledge, her passion, her ability to deliver and her absolute commitment to autism affirming practices are second to none. I would have no hesitation recommending Kory and I’ll definitely be looking for future opportunities to collaborate with her."

"We thoroughly enjoyed Kory’s presentation. Her personal approach and theory-based knowledge was so helpful and stimulating. We feel even more motivated to somehow make a dent in the wider community by championing neurodiversity especially in the field of employment."

"I wished I knew about this service back in 2023 when I was having issues with my workplace. I only found out about Autie Talk and Kory through the Brisbane Disability Expo on 1st March. I have already had 2 sessions with her, and she was very knowledgeable and very Neuro Affirming, with a kind touch. She really just gets who I am and really glad I have linked with her services. It is so needed. :)"

"Kory was able to listen to my tangled confused ramblings and quietly guide me into ordered clarity with an action plan. All within the space of an hour. I was very impressed that she was able to see my vision and grand plan when others are left bemused by my big ideas and write me off as eccentric. Such a beautiful soul to give her precious time to help me."

"I hired Kory as a coach/consultant/strategic advisor when I was developing a series of workshops on "How to be a neuro-inclusive team'. Kory is such a pleasure to work with and she provided me with expert advice and insights. I emailed over the pack of resources to her in advance of our session and Kory took the time to review all the material and provide feedback on what I could refine and tweak to ensure it was neuro-affirming and aligned with best practice. Kory shared valuable stories and lived experiences to help me bring the program to life. I really enjoy our professional relationship, and I would highly recommend hiring her as a coach and DEI/neurodiversity consultant as she really is an expert in this space!"

"Kory has been an extraordinary support across almost every facet of my life. She's helped me embrace and progress my career goals, supporting and offering guidance along the way. She's also helped me take action on my personal goals, encouraging me to remain open to big possibilities that felt impossible, and offering practical advice and support around my wellbeing goals. As a late diagnosed Autistic person, Kory has also helped me get to know myself and advocate for myself and my needs more. I am incredibly grateful to have had Kory in my corner and cannot recommend working with her highly enough."
