Hey there!
I’m Bird Sellergren, M.A., and I’m glad you’re here.
I’m a doctoral scholar, educator, and autistic coach based in San Francisco. My work focuses on autism advocacy, access, and well-being, rooted in lived experience, research, and years of leadership in community-based systems change.
I help autistic adults build strategies for navigating life after diagnosis, requesting workplace accommodations, improving relationships, and creating routines that actually work.
Whether you're seeking support for personal growth, professional clarity, or self-understanding, I offer practical, autism-affirming guidance that meets you where you are.
Alongside 1:1 coaching, I also offer workshops, speaking engagements, and policy consulting for organizations seeking to build more inclusive systems. My work is data-informed, trauma-conscious, and shaped by over two decades of experience as a nonprofit founder, facilitator, and public educator.
My Offerings
-
Autistic Life Coaching
Autistic adults often struggle to find professional support for decision-making, managing executive functioning, and building relationships. Many practitioners prioritize conformity to neurotypical norms, ignoring the harmful effects of masking on mental well-being. I empathize the challenges autistic people experience and help you create strategies that respect your neurodiversity and achieve your goals.
-
Neurodiversity & Autism Talks
I offer expert-led talks, presentations, and hands-on workshops on autism and neurodiversity that go beyond awareness. My interactive sessions focus on actionable strategies for creating lasting change in educational, corporate, and community settings. Tailored to your organization’s needs, these immersive experiences equip your team with the knowledge and skills to foster accessibility and support neurodivergent individuals.
-
Mindfulness Meditation
My mindfulness teachings are tailored for autistic and neurodivergent individuals. Mindfulness meditation helps us focus and navigate sensory overload, life's demands, and communication challenges common to autism. Through mindfulness, we may find balance and clarity amidst chaos and greater ease in our interactions, transforming our perception and interaction with the world.
-
Disability Accessibility
Whether your access concerns are digital, environmental, or interpersonal, I will guide you through the disability accessibility process to create solutions that will address your specific needs. I am available for auditing, social media content, copywriting and editing, event consultation, accessibility handbook design, and disability accessibility training and workshops.
