Jane McNeice is a wife, mother, grandmother, and mental health training business owner from Yorkshire.Jane McNeice is a wife, mother, grandmother, and mental health training business owner from Yorkshire. < Back Jane McNeice Specialisms: Autism and Mental Health Jane McNeice is a wife, mother, grandmother, and mental health training business owner from Yorkshire. Jane's lived experience and debut book is 'The Umbrella Picker' which documents her life living undiagnosed Autistic and the related mental health struggles and challenges. Jane was diagnosed Autistic at the age of forty-five, two months later her 26-year-old daughter was also diagnosed, followed three months later by her 8-year-old son in December 2021. Three diagnoses in seven months. None would have been discovered were it not for their own self or parent-identification before formal assessment and diagnosis. Jane has written the book she wishes someone had written for her 30 years earlier, a book that shares the lived experience of being undiagnosed Autistic, a 'Lost Girl'. She authored her book 'The Umbrella Picker' with the intention of raising awareness, challenging outdated stereotypes of Autism, and to help other 'Lost Girls' to self-identify, because 'Lost Girl' experiences are often a mirror to one another, and the system seems incapable of finding them in most cases. Jane's family were exposed to well over 100 health, social care, and education professionals, all of whom were unable to spot the signs of non-stereotypical Autism, and which led to mis-diagnosis in herself and daughter, and years of unnecessary suffering. Forty-five years is too long a wait to learn who you are - your identity! Jane's story has been shared by Forbes, Daily Mail, Top Sante, Brand You, and Take a Break. info@speakerscollective.org First name Last name Email Your Phone Number About Your Event or Project Speaker or Persons Requested Date picker Event Type Select Event Type Address Submit BOOK A SPEAKER OR GET IN TOUCH FOR MORE INFORMATION

Lucy Wilson is the Founder of MAIA: The Matrescence Empowerment Programme, allowing businesses to provide education, support and community for new mothers. Lucy’s life all changed when her first son was born with a rare condition and needed 3 operations in his first 7 months of life. The experience left her with a lot of under dealt with trauma and impacted her mental health. Which would then come to a head when 5 months after her second son was born, we all went into the first Covid lockdown. Already sleep deprived and struggling she found it incredibly difficult to cope and some very dark months. From this difficult time Lucy became incredibly passionate and interested in Maternal Mental Health and the lack of support for new mothers. This interest led her to research into the subject and found out about the groundbreaking concept of Matrescence, which explains the mental, physical, social and identity changes women go through when they become mothers, changes so profound that they are on a par with the experience we all go through when we become teenagers and go through adolescence. The only difference being that we are all highly aware of the need for support in our teenage years and we are educated on them. Lucy was taken by just how little was known by most women about the changes they would go through and feels this is linked to the huge numbers of women who will suffer with their mental health when they become mothers. She has now created a comprehensive programme to educate and support new mothers at an incredible, yet overwhelming time in their lives. Lucy is also a Parent Carer to her second son Bertie, who has autism and a global developmental and speech delay, which means he cannot speak yet and has the understanding of a very young child. She is passionate about speaking about the challenges this brings, but also the joy of living with a child who sees the world in a different way too. info@speakerscollective.org First name Last name Email Your Phone Number About Your Event or Project Speaker or Persons Requested Date picker Event Type Select Event Type Address Submit BOOK A SPEAKER OR GET IN TOUCH FOR MORE INFORMATION
