A Little Bit About Me

married couple

Welcome to The Arcadian Atlas!

I'm so glad you found me! My name is Melanie. I am a late-diagnosed autistic woman who loves Jesus and deep, thought-provoking conversations with people. I recently got married to the love of my life, Gavin, and I just adore him. I am an avid candle maker and a lover of all things green. You can usually find me marveling at nature wearing a flower crown.

​​​

The Arcadian Atlas is a beautiful haven where I aim to shed light on the both the beauty and challenges of being autistic, provide support, answer questions, and spread awareness and hope through my story. If sharing my experiences helps just one autistic person find and love themselves, or if I can help one person understand and cherish an autistic person in their life, then all of this will be worth it.​​
 

I will also use this space to navigate other areas of life I am passionate about, including marriage, faith, and various trails of thought. Visit the home page for more details.
