Unmasking Marketing for Neurodivergent Entrepreneurs
​
I’m Danielle Dryden, a neurodivergent entrepreneur, coach, and marketing strategist passionate about helping businesses that serve the neurodivergent community thrive. I know firsthand how traditional marketing strategies can feel overwhelming, inauthentic, and even inaccessible—so I created Marketing Unmasked to change that.
Why Work With Me?
​
As an autistic ADHDer and a coach, I understand the challenges neurodivergent entrepreneurs face—executive function struggles, rejection sensitivity, and the pressure to show up in ways that don’t feel natural. That’s why I redefine marketing to fit you, not vice versa.
​
With a background in coaching, marketing, and entrepreneurship, I bring strategic expertise with a deep understanding of neurodivergence and ethical business practices. Whether you need done-for-you services, strategy guidance, or hands-on support, I help you market in a natural, effective, and empowering way.

About Me
​
My name is Danielle, and I am passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals and families to thrive. I founded The ASC-ADHD Coach, a coaching service dedicated to adults who have been diagnosed or self-identify as autistic, ADHD, or both. I also established Spectrum Advocacy & Coaching CIC, a community-interest company focused on supporting neurodivergent families through coaching, advocacy, and accessible resources.
​
My own journey with neurodivergence began when my children were diagnosed, leading me to recognize my own experiences and ultimately receive a late diagnosis of both Autism and ADHD. Like many late-diagnosed adults, I spent years navigating life without the language or tools to fully understand my neurodivergence. That experience drives my work today—I want to help others avoid the self-doubt, burnout, and overwhelm that so many of us face before we truly understand ourselves.
​
As a certified coach specializing in Autism and ADHD, I blend lived experience with professional expertise. My coaching is rooted in positive psychology, neurodivergent-affirming strategies, and practical tools that empower individuals to embrace their strengths, develop self-advocacy skills, and create sustainable ways to thrive at work, home, and beyond.
Alongside my coaching work, I also run Unmasked Marketing, a business I started after facing a steep learning curve as a neurodivergent entrepreneur. Traditional marketing advice often doesn’t align with how neurodivergent minds work, so I developed a neurodivergent-centric marketing approach—helping fellow neurodivergent business owners grow in ways that feel authentic and manageable. The profits from Unmasked Marketing go directly into funding Spectrum Advocacy & Coaching CIC, allowing me to expand support for neurodivergent families and strengthen our ability to secure grants and additional funding.
Through coaching, advocacy, and marketing support, I am committed to creating a more inclusive, understanding world—one where neurodivergent people feel seen, heard, and valued.
If you're looking for support in understanding your neurodivergence, navigating life’s challenges, building a strengths-based approach to success, or marketing your neurodivergent-led business, I’d love to help.
