Speakers

Kathleen Schubert


Kathleen has over a decade of naturopathic experience and is an active mentor to naturopathic practitioners, guest presenter, and writer who has helped thousands of people worldwide, but she isn’t your ‘neurotypical’

gal. She was diagnosed in midlife with autism and speaks out on the gender inequities in autism in women, which lead to failure to diagnose/misdiagnosis.

She shares her journey in her bold new autism book, U Don’t Seem Autistic. She shares her personal story from misdiagnosis to mid-life diagnosis. This is a story of empowerment by the discovery of female autism at

last! By sharing pitfalls she has experienced up to mid-life and their relationship to autism, she hopes to help others seek a diagnosis. She shares her tips for those questioning if they are on the spectrum, working with an

assistance/service dog, and provides solutions for how to make educational, medical, and workplaces inclusive for neurodiverse/autistic people.

As owner and director of Dr Kathleen & Team, now in her practitioner mentoring capacity, she helps women on the verge of burnout, empowering them naturally to feel sexy and strong at 40 and beyond. For more than a decade, she helped thousands as a functional and naturopathic practitioner with advanced degrees in integrative medicine and anthropology, and now also a neurodivergence awareness speaker and adviser.
