About Me
Who Am I?
My name is Jorik Mol, and I am autistic. This has shaped my strengths, my challenges, and the work I do today.
Many of the difficulties I experienced growing up came not from autism itself, but from a lack of understanding. That experience now drives my commitment to improving life chances for autistic people — and strengthening the organisations and communities we are part of.
Communication is one of my special interests and the focus of my professional work. I specialise in conflict resolution between autistic and neurotypical employees, helping people move beyond misunderstanding toward clarity, trust, and effective collaboration.
Alongside this, I speak, write, and deliver training for organisations and individuals who want to build environments where autistic people can thrive.
I am the author of Feeling Fast and Slow and a textbook on mentoring, and I work with those ready to turn insight into action — integrating strengths, interests, and differences to create meaningful, lasting change.

My Books
Breaking the Boundaries & Teeming
I’m the author of Breaking the Boundaries, which explores how autistic students are excluded from higher education and offers insights from lived experience and mentoring to inspire change. I also wrote Teeming, a novel set in 1930s Holland, told through an autistic lens, following love, survival, and the impact of autistic lives on history.
