About me
I'm Allie, an autistic author and accessible travel advocate bridging the gap between neurodivergent travellers and an industry that's still learning to meet our needs.
I found myself late-diagnosed as autistic at the age of 23, whilst studying at university. Soon after, I began work on my first book about neurodiversity; The Autistic Guide to Adventure was published to an enthusiastic reception by the neurodivergent community in 2023. It was praised for its endearing, approachable and inspiring writing, described as "a gift of enchantment in a world that is inaccessible" by journalist Lydia Wilkins.
Working now as a copywriter in luxury travel, I've gained insider knowledge of how the sector works - and more importantly, where it falls short for neurodivergent travellers like me. My freelance writing has appeared in the likes of the Guardian and Condé Nast Traveller, and I've spoken at events including Kendal Mountain Festival and Timber Festival. In 2025, I was named on the TTG 30 under 30 list, which recognises aspiring young leaders breaking new ground in the travel industry.
I'm currently writing my second book, a neurodivergent guide to travel for young adults, and am always excited to collaborate with people, brands, organisations and publications on projects that celebrate accessible travel.
