As featured in:
inTune Families™, is the first of its kind, guiding families through 6 modules, delivered online, exploring autistic family life from an autistic perspective.
inTune Families is 100% aligned with the neurodiversity paradigm and guides families in their journey of rebuilding, restructuring and reconnecting, in order to create a perfectly unconventional, joyous life for the extraordinary family.
Kristy Forbes is an Australian based autism & neurodiversity support specialist
with experience working with clients from all over the world.
This includes neurodivergent people and their families, and professionals who wish to support them, such as Educators, Psychologists, Paediatricians, allied health professionals, support workers and integration aides.
Her work is informed by her extensive professional experience as an educator (Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary teaching), as an integration aide to children with social, emotional and behavioural challenges, and as a childhood behavioural and family specialist.
Her most valuable insights, however, come from lived experience.
Kristy is autistic herself and diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA).
"I truly hope that we are now moving towards a different time when parents can feel empowered and have access to CRUCIAL information like you are presenting to us now Kristy. It is truly life changing and it MUST find its way to be heard!"
"Helpful? That doesn't even BEGIN to articulate how I have found these modules. Bloody fantastic information and so well presented."
"It is so great to hear this from an autistic perspective, rather than so called 'experts' with their various theories about why autistic people experience the world in the ways they do. I have been living this journey with my son for 16 years but listening to these modules has taken me right back to the beginning and I feel that I am finally REALLY learning about autism."

"Kristy's support and programme has had a hugely positive impact on our family and how we understand and relate to each other. She is incredibly supportive and knowledgeable and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for help to develop a calmer family culture and help cultivate positive autistic identity."
