About R.E.A.L.

Neurodiverse Resources and Education Across the Lifespan

R.E.A.L. Neurodiverse, founded in 2017, provides services to individual clients and trains and credentials professionals who want to understand their clients through the lens of neurodiversity.

Our programs are founded in Anne MacMillan's Neurodiverse Family Systems Theory and her 10-step approach that supports neurodivergents and their families as they come to understand the role neurodiversity plays their lives. The model is neurodivergent affirming, educationally based, and supports neurodivergents and their families as they build skills and take action to improve relationships and find the happiness, peace and connection everyone deserves.

Please reach out for an appointment if you are interested!

About Anne MacMillan

I built my original Neurodiverse Family Systems Theory on my education, personal life experience, and the professional experience I gained in the private neurodiverse services practice I founded in 2017.

Today, my services extend to support other professionals who have come to the new realization that neurodiversity is at the heart of many of the relationship challenges their adult clients face. Professionals can earn my Neurodiverse Family Systems Educator Credential (NFS-E) then use my practical 10-Step educational system, including quantitative assessments and support resources, to help their clients comprehend their relationship challenges and find the happiness and peace they deserve.

I have a research-based master's in psychology from Harvard University and studied developmental psychology as an undergrad. I received the Director's Thesis Award at Harvard for my original research on Level 1 autism and intimate life partnerships -- some of the first quantitative research on the subject in the world.

Altogether, I have over 50 years of personal life experience with neurodiverse family systems, over 20 years of personal life experience with neurodiverse intimate life partnerships, and 8 years of professional experience working with individuals managing the challenges of neurodiverse family systems.

I self-identify as a high body empathetic neurodivergent who just might also be a bit attention neurodivergent (ADHD). I am not autistic.
