Maisie Cass -
Speaker, Storyteller & Neurodiversity Specialist
Honest, human, quietly bold conversations that resonate long after the room empties.
A Speaker Who Brings Real-Life Neurodiversity to Life, Maisie doesn’t deliver standard “awareness talks.”
She brings humour, honesty and lived experience into the room - the kind that makes people nod, laugh, cry, and suddenly see themselves or someone they love in a way they haven’t before.
Her talks are warm, real and a little bit raw. Not sugar-coated.
Not clinical.
Not the surface-level version of neurodiversity.
She speaks from the heart - about ADHD, autism, masking, overwhelm, parenting ND children, being a neurodivergent woman in business, and navigating life in a world not designed for the ND brain.
Every talk is shaped by curiosity, confidence and compassion - the 3 Cs at the core of her work.
And every audience leaves feeling more informed, more connected, and more human.
Maisie delivers keynotes and talks that translate neurodiversity into organisational advantage: leadership confidence, performance culture, talent optimisation, communication and psychological safety.
