Leo Ricketts trained in relational transactional analysis and has been practicing since 2014. Eight years later, aged 55 he was diagnosed autistic having suspected as much for years. This came with a bonus ADHD diagnosis which surprised precisely no-one in his personal life. He has what his psychologist described as a very AuDHD CV, having had careers as a drummer, DJ, journalist, radio presenter, graphic designer, digital producer and project manager. In his work as a therapist he feels he has come home and with a practice of 95% neurodivergent people, has found his tribe. As well as his client work Leo teaches, writes about and advocates for neurodivergence inclusion. He finds writing about himself in the third person jarring but oddly liberating.
