If you’ve ever felt like the world wasn’t built for you—or for your child—I want you to know: I see you. I’ve been there. And we’re going to do more than just “survive” this.

My Story (The Survival & The Strength)

My journey hasn’t been a straight line. From navigating bullying and trauma to managing the daily physical realities of Fibromyalgia, I’ve faced obstacles that were designed to keep me small. But those challenges became my training ground.

Today, I live life loudly. I am proudly Autistic and ADHD, and I use that neurodivergent lens to deeply connect with my son and people I have supported. Being a single parent isn’t just “doable”—it is rewarding, empowering, and the greatest adventure I’ve ever embarked on.

The Professional Toolkit

With a background as an Early Years Practitioner, I understand the “system of education” from the inside. I also have some degree of training as a SENCO, but more importantly, lived experience of navigating SEN paperwork such as Inclusion Forms and Portage as well as learning sensory strategies on the go.

I was also homeschooled myself as a teenager, which gave me a unique perspective on education long before I became an educator. Whether you are navigating the school system or opting for a home-based path, I’m here to bridge the gap between clinical knowledge and real-life application.

Why I’m Here

I created Amy Jill Walker to be the resource I wish I’d had: a place where professional SEN advice meets the raw, honest reality of neurodivergent parenting.

Whether you’re here for homeschooling tips, SEN advocacy, or just to feel less alone in the single-parent trenches—welcome home.
