Alyssa Schmidt speaks on neurodiversity, marriage, parenting, communication, education, mental health, and the emotional realities of living inside overwhelmed systems — all through the lens of personal experience, storytelling, compassion, and humor.
With a background in education, years of experience supporting individuals and families in the disability community and lived experience inside a neurodiverse family shaped by late diagnosis, Alyssa brings a unique perspective that blends honesty, warmth, and practical insight. Her presentations create space for people to feel seen, understood, and less alone while also helping others better understand experiences that are often invisible from the outside.
Whether speaking to educators, parents, support professionals, churches, community organizations, or advocacy groups, Alyssa approaches difficult topics with authenticity, nuance, and humanity - never from a place of judgment, but from a desire to build greater connection and understanding.
Alyssa speaks about:
- Neurodiverse family life
- Marriage and communication
- Parenting and emotional overwhelm
- The power of compassion, humor, and feeling seen
Alyssa is available for keynote presentations, workshops, panels, school and staff in-services, conferences, podcasts, faith-based events, and community conversations.
