I'm Quentin.
I'm passionate about supporting people. I do that by creating supportive systems through design and leadership and by offering direct support in various capacities, including hosting events at NeuroQueer.org, teaching, and being a Direct Support Professional. I am also a certified peer support specialist, and although I have not pursued that professionally yet, that training guides many of my interactions.
I am very neurodivergent and proudly consider myself to be disabled. I have a variety of lived experience in the realms of neurodivergence and mental health. My body has decided that physical health conditions are the next frontier. In any case, I have learned how to navigate a lot and keep moving toward my values, and it is my honor to help others navigate toward theirs.
My lived experience of disability has led me to view much of it as a design problem with clear pain points and real human needs. The social model of disability has its limitations, but it also prompts compelling questions: How might we alter the environment to maximally enable disabled people? What would the world look like if it were maximally accessible? I'm looking for collaborators to join me in answering those questions.
