I’m Kristen Math, an autistic therapist, evaluator, and advocate working to transform how our systems understand and support neurodivergent people. As both a clinician and a member of the autistic community, I’m deeply committed to advancing equity, accessibility, and dignity in education, healthcare, and mental health.
I bring a dual perspective—professional and personal—to my work. I’m an autistic adult, cancer survivor, and mother of five. I hold a Master’s degree in Molecular Biology and a second Master’s in Counseling and Psychological Services with a specialization in psychological assessment. I provide autism and ADHD evaluations for individuals aged 7 through adulthood, and I run a therapy practice centered on neurodivergent-affirming care.
My approach is grounded in trauma-informed, identity-first, and anti-pathologizing values. I’ve conducted PTSD research at the Minneapolis VA, trained extensively in psychological assessment under a PhD neuropsychologist, and created group programming specifically for autistic adults to foster community and self-understanding.
I’m passionate about challenging systemic disparities in care and opportunity for autistic individuals, especially those who are multiply marginalized. I’m currently applying to an EdD program in public policy to deepen my work at the intersection of advocacy, education, and systems reform.
At my core, I believe autistic people deserve to live in a world that respects their differences, listens to their voices, and removes the barriers that silence them. Through education, clinical practice, and policy change, I’m here to be part of that shift.
