Natalie Diggins, author of The Autistic Adult's Toolbox

Natalie Diggins is a technologist, deep tech angel investor, board member, and autistic adult with a background in solving complex systems problems. Natalie is one of 261 "SuperForecaster" investors worldwide — identified by a predictive venture model ("Moneyball for VC") for a rare track record of spotting startups before they become unicorns, as reported by Business Insider.

Diagnosed as an adult, she realized she'd spent decades building the tools and processes that let her navigate a neurotypical world — long before she had a name for why she needed them. The Autistic Adult's Toolbox is the resource she wishes she'd had — a practical, strengths-based guide written for autistic adults by someone who's lived it.

Natalie lives in New York City. Her work and perspectives have been featured on Meet My Autistic Brain, Law School Toolbox, Adulting with Autism, Different Not Broken, and in The Highlands Current.
