An opinionated autistic girl breaking down stereotypes, one post at a time!

Jade was very eloquent, open and honest in detailing her story and the struggles she has faced, both in terms of the bullying and her autism. I was also impressed by her commitment to helping others in similar situations. Jade clearly demonstrated her ability to lead a live discussion on a national network and her story resonated with our listeners, who called and texted the programme in their droves, wanting to share their own very emotive stories. Within one hour we had over 300 texts and that was down to the power of Jade simply speaking from the heart, relating her personal experiences.

I got in touch with Jade via LinkedIn and her website to invite her to come and talk to a range of Sheffield Hallam University students. She was a delight to email and I expressed my gratitude in her accepting my invitation to speak to our students. She gave an excellent five-minute overview of her job and then engaged with the students beautifully in small groups. I would definitely invite Jade in for a return visit.

Jade has been a blogger and creative I’ve admired for many years now and, watching her blog become a brand has been so exciting. I had the opportunity to interview Jade for a segment on my blog called Meet the Blogger. Throughout the process of initially emailing Jade in May to publishing her interview in July, she was always so kind and supportive of my writing, showing true generosity and patience with me, a relatively new blogger.

I fell in love with Jade Marie’s blog immediately. It has a beautiful theme throughout, and all of her posts are meaningful and lovely to read!

I’ve just discovered Jade Marie’s blog and Instagram and I honestly want to live in her photography…or at least own a photobook by her – either one is fine by me!

Jade Marie has quickly become one of my favourite bloggers, and someone I love to see pop up on my feed!
