About Jonathan

As a late diagnosed neurodivergent adult, in recovery from addiction and diagnosed with ADHD at 39 and Autism at 41, Jonathan brings a unique blend of creativity, curiosity, and lived experience to his journey. Following a career of 25 years in the areas of technology and learning, Jonathan is currently on long-term medical leave from his role as project manager at an Irish university. Jonathan currently volunteers with Autism Friendly Dungarvan as Creative Technology Officer. He has a passion for making technology more accessible and enjoys supporting community projects that help others feel included and understood.

Jonathan’s special interests include creativity, technology and exploring the inner landscape of identity through writing with journaling or poetry as well as learning more about recovery, neurodiversity, and adaptive strategies for daily life. He uses tools like ChatGPT every day to have meaningful conversations, stay organised, and navigate complex tasks with greater ease.

Jonathan believes in the power of community and self-acceptance, and he is committed to helping build spaces where autistic people can thrive as their authentic selves. Jonathan shares his journey of Navigating Neurodiversity in Recovery (as a neurodivergent person in a neurotypical world) on his social media (jonos_journey) and the Anything Is Possible Podcast, links can be found on his website – https://anythingisposssible.com
