<p>Katie-jo is a committed Christian who cares deeply about seeing the church reflect the welcome of Jesus. Autistic herself, she writes from the inside of neurodivergent experience, weaving together theology, story, and practical wisdom for communities that want to become more genuinely inclusive.</p><p>With a background in teaching, she brings a clear, accessible style to complex ideas and a keen understanding of how different people learn, process, and participate. Her years in education and church life have shown her both the beauty and the harm that Christian communities can hold, and they fuel her desire to see congregations become places of safety and belonging.</p><p>She is a disability advocate, working to challenge ableist assumptions and to create spaces where disabled and neurodivergent people are not merely accommodated but honoured as indispensable members of the body of Christ.</p><p>She lives with her husband and their two children, who continue to teach her about patience, joy, and the everyday practice of grace.</p>
