Core Values Alignment

I don’t work to deadlines and don't accept urgent or ASAP tasks. If you are in a hurry, I am not the person for you.
I work with humans. Skin colour, faith, sexual orientation, body shape, or modifications are irrelevant to a person’s value. If you disagree, look elsewhere.
I don't restrict my language. If swearing makes you uncomfortable, don't reach out.
I don't use AI to write for me but I may occasionally use it to generate images
I only use AI as a high-powered search engine to help me solve complex problems or find information. Creativity is best left to humans.
Help me help you better by answering my questions, explaining your processes, and responding to messages within 48hrs max.

What's special about AutisticVA?

Neurotypicals will never truly understand you.

To survive, fit in, and succeed, you mask and work twice as hard as everyone else—at the cost of your mental and emotional well-being.Be kind to yourself.As an autistic person myself, I know the toll of masking, anxiety, and feeling overwhelmed. I've got your back.

By partnering with me, you gain:

❯ A second pair of hands
❯ An extra brain
❯ An additional set of energy spoons
❯ The freedom to unmask and work in a way that feels natural to you
You are unique and fabulous just as you are. And you deserve to be accepted, supported, and to succeed.

Let me handle what I do best, so you can focus on what you do best.

Services

Your business was born out of passion—but the endless admin has slowly doused that flame.Now you’re drowning, unable to regain focus and catch your breath.
Juggling too many tasks as an ADHD, or AuDHD person isn’t sustainable.
That’s where I come in—turning chaos into order, so you can focus on what matters and fall in love with your business again.

"INSTALLING A GROWTH ENGINE" – A CLIENT STORY

"When I started working with Anna, I wasn’t looking for someone to just check tasks off a list. I needed a thinking partner.My business was growing. My client roster was expanding. Operational complexity was increasing. And what I did not need was another person who required me to pre-package every assignment into tiny, perfectly defined steps.What makes Anna different is this: I don’t have to have it all figured out before I bring something to her.I can say, “Here’s the constraint. Here’s the outcome I want. I don’t know the best path yet.” And she’ll come back with researched options, tradeoffs, and structured recommendations. She doesn’t just execute. She analyzes, synthesizes, and solves.She has helped me:
- Research and select tools and systems with long-term scalability in mind
- Streamline operational workflows so growth doesn’t create chaos
- Absorb repetitive, time-consuming work as client volume increased
- Think through decisions that impact revenue, positioning, and delivery.
The real value isn’t speed; it’s depth.Anna doesn’t operate like a deadline-chasing VA. She operates like a strategic operator embedded in the business. She connects dots across projects. She learns fast. She remembers context. She anticipates what’s coming.One of the most valuable shifts for me has been mental bandwidth. I don’t have to hold every open loop in my head. I know that when I hand something to Anna, it will be handled thoughtfully and closed cleanly. That peace of mind is enormous.Hiring Anna wasn’t about outsourcing tasks. It was about installing a growth engine.And it worked."

After my autism diagnosis, everything finally made sense.Over time I realised it's okay to be different—in fact, it's something to be proud of.
I’m done trying to fit into the NT world — I’m building a life and business that fits me!
I deserve to live my way and be happy. And so do YOU!!Now, I’m here as AutisticVA because I want to help neurodiverse people like you and me to succeed and flourish.

Our Way—The ND way

A row of white snails with hot pink shells

A Peek Behind The Scenes

Seeking answers and trying new things has always driven me. But for the longest time, I couldn’t answer one question: “What is my purpose?”I tried many paths:
● Studying chemistry and air traffic control
● Retail and customer service
● Working as a stable hand and a lifeguard
Then, fate threw me into library services. There I realized I love working with documents, databases, and forms. Organizing, labelling, and filing? I was in heaven.That’s when I knew I wanted to move in the admin direction, so I studied business administration followed by payroll. But despite earning certificates, employment didn’t follow.For a few months, I worked in a call centre. That gig ended with a monstrous panic attack 😱
I had to understand why.

Autism Explained My Life to Me

My Autism diagnosis finally provided me answers and helped me make sense of my past experiences. I embraced it with enthusiasm in an oversharing fashion.But it led to a new problem to solve: "How do I turn this to my advantage?"Fighting through overwhelm and anxiety, I made a decision: If I want something to happen, I have to make it happen.Of course, I’d love for everything to be perfect the first time—but if I waited for the ideal moment, it would never come. So, even though I’m scared as hell, I’m doing it.
I’m putting my vulnerable self out here—to make mistakes, learn, grow, and empower you.

My Mission

I'm here to support you with my strengths so you can pump your business with yours. Think of it like brick and mortar:
● Where you bring vision, I bring structure.
● Where you innovate, I organize.
Together, we build something solid and resilient. As an ND team working together, we can become an unstoppable force—bit by bit.

One meltdown, shutdown, and hyperfocus at a time.

Anna

On top of being AuDHD I am also a multipotentialite (I have multiple and diverse interests), and I want to understand how things work and connect within a system rather than just memorise details.I have a constant need to learn, but many details escape my long-term memory (Hello ADHD). I relate more to animals than humans because they are always honest. I’m a behind-the-scenes cog; knowing I’m improving the machine’s performance is what fulfils me (Autism FTW).A Few Things I Love:
● My dog, Larry
● Spreadsheets & Research
● My laptop & Video games
And Things I Keep Away From:
● Mainstream Social Media
● Babies & Children
● Politics & Toxic people

Larry

Every great business needs a strong leader.
Meet Larry—a 16-year-old rescue Chihuahua with the confidence of a CEO and the stature of a stapler.
As Chief Morale Officer, Larry ensures workplace spirits remain high by sunbathing on duty or supervising from my lap under his executive blanket. He fears no large animal, but please don't let him hear any innocent "scary" noises!His business philosophy?
Soak up the sun, demand belly rubs, and never let your size limit your ambition.

Pssst! Larry says: "If you’re still doomscrolling, it’s time to delegate."

"HER VALUE ISN'T MEASURED IN HOURS. IT'S MEASURED IN LEVERAGE."

If you’re the kind of founder who just needs tasks executed quickly, Anna probably isn’t your person.
If you want a strategic thought partner embedded in your business - someone who can think at a high level, analyze systems, pressure-test ideas, and help you make smarter operational decisions - she absolutely is.
I don’t bring Anna tidy task lists. I bring her business problems.She works within constraints. She researches intelligently. She presents options. She tells me when something won’t scale. She tells me when we’re drifting outside her lane. And she does it without ego, drama, or chaos.At a certain stage of business, the bottleneck isn’t labor. It’s thinking capacity.Anna expands mine.Her value isn’t measured in hours. It’s measured in leverage.If you can afford to invest $3K+ per month in a strategic operator who will help you grow more intelligently - not just more quickly - Anna is the kind of partner that changes your trajectory.

Frequently Asked Questions

🧸 Emotional Safety

What if I have a meltdown or shutdown?
I’ll stay present and give you quiet space. I can’t guarantee I won’t get overwhelmed too—I'm not superhuman, I’m autistic.
Can I cancel or reschedule last minute?
If it’s an emergency, I understand. Otherwise, I ask for at least a day’s notice. I mentally prep and review notes before every meeting; short-notice cancellations without a solid reason feel unfair and make me question your reliability.
Do I need to mask?
No. If being professional means showing up in your PJs and cracking dark humor jokes, go for it. Leave your mask at the door.
How do you support overwhelmed clients?
I’m not a therapist, but if something feels like too much, say so. We’ll pause, adjust, or simplify where we can.

📋 Service-Related

What tasks can you help with?
Email management, digital file management, data entry, spreadsheets, and proofreading.
Can I delegate things slowly?
Absolutely. Easing in helps me avoid overload and get more efficient, faster.
Once-off or ongoing?
I work on a retainer basis only. Onboarding uses many energy spoons; I need a full-brain focus to learn your systems before I can fall into an efficient "flow mode."
Will you remind me of deadlines?
I can help you set up reminders or notifications, but I am not available to contact you live for reminders.

🌈 Values & ND Vibes

Why only ND clients?
I’m a late-diagnosed autistic person. I relate to the struggle of being forced to mask and excluded. I understand your needs because they are often my needs, too.
What makes you different?
I am functionality, quality, and efficiency. I’m like autistic clothes—not flashy, but the best damn solution to the sensory problem. I’m a doer and a problem-solver, not a "word florist."
Do I need an official diagnosis?
Not at all. Self-identification is valid. If you trust your inner voice, you belong to the tribe.
Are you LGBTQIA+ affirming?
Yes. I’m queer and neurodivergent. Diversity isn’t a problem to solve; it’s the people who refuse to value the diversity that are the problem.

🐌 ND Paces & Rhythms

What if I "disappear" for a bit?
If I’m in autopilot mode, you don’t even need to be on Earth for things to run. However, if I don't hear back within 24 hours during an active decision period, I will freak out. Please leave an "emergency protocol" if you plan to go quiet.
Do I need to be consistent?
No. You need to be reliable.
How flexible are deadlines?
They aren't. Deadlines trigger my anxiety and kill my focus. I do not do deadlines or timelines. If you need time-bound delivery, I’m not the right person for you.

💬 Communication

Do I have to be on camera?
Nope. As long as we can chat by voice, we’re good.
Email only?
Absolutely. Select that option when booking your Discovery Chat.
Can I stim/fidget during meetings?
Of course. Short breaks (up to 10 minutes) are fine during our 45-minute calls.

🖥️ Tools & Processes

Existing tools vs. new ones?
I’ll use yours if they are important to you. If they aren't working, I can suggest better ones for your budget.
What software do you use?
Google, Zoho, Airtable, Affinity, Canva, Miro, Gemini AI, Make, and Joplin (I'm wetting my feet with Notion as well)
Do I need new apps?
If your and my tech stack combined suffice to do the job then we're good.

🤝 Our Collab

What is the process?
Book a Discovery Chat → Sign the contract → Technical setup chat → I get to work.
Will you judge my messy systems?
No. If everything was perfect, you wouldn't need me.
Can I brain-dump at you?
Yes. I’ll do my best to catch the key points.
How often will we check in?
Frequent communication until we fall into a groove, then we shift into weekly live check-ins and unlimited asynchronous messaging.

📜 Ground Rules

Is there a contract?
Yes. It’s binding, but you can end it with 2 weeks' notice.
How do you handle confidentiality?
I am GDPR-compliant. Your secrets (and your collection of 300 rubber ducks) are safe with me.
What are your working hours?
I work flexibly but most of the time for 2 hours in the early afternoon, and for 2 hours late in the evening. I am not available outside these windows.

🪷 Routines & Limits

How do we communicate?
Mostly via email, and video calls but if you want to use chat apps like Slack it's also an option. Just bear in mind I don't use notifications. I check messages on my terms, not when a notification tells me to--that's why they're off.
Response time?
Maximum 48 hours.
What if I cross a boundary?
I’ll tell you. Once I’ve asked you not to do it again, it’s no longer an accident.

💰 Money & Payments

How much?
€3,000 paid in advance for the month.
Payment plans?
No. Rates are fixed.
Do I pay upfront?
Yes. This is non-negotiable. Work begins only once the invoice is paid.
What if I need to pause?
You can, but if the following invoice remains unpaid after 7 days, the contract is dissolved.
