Hi! I’m Ana María

I'm a 3E (Gifted + autistic + Latina) linguist, interculturalist, and former civil rights worker, specializing in neurodivergent communication as intercultural communication.

My work is founded on the single most important observation I’ve made about communication…

Inside the “bubble” of a communication event, gifted and autistic traits function as a culture- a unique way of sensing and making sense of the world- NOT a deficit or disorder.

In addition to academic theory, I integrate into my work sci-fi, magical realism, and futurist/punk literature, as well as imagination work, gentle protest, and teaching artistry.
