Charlie Hart - Ausome Charlie Ltd

Ausome Charlie can help you create an inclusive culture with psychological safety and belonging, enabling people with all kinds of minds to thrive, bringing tangible benefits.

Charlie Hart (she/they) is an experienced, CIPD-qualified HR Analyst. She was eventually diagnosed autistic at the age of 42, after struggling for decades without understanding why and without knowing how to advocate for her needs. Since then she has been diagnosed with Complex PTSD and ADHD, and is now thriving!

Ausome Charlie Ltd is named after the Twitter account @AusomeCharlie which Charlie started in June 2018 when she first discovered #ActuallyAutistic Twitter and the Neurodiversity Movement. Charlie started the Ausome Charlie Facebook page in 2019, and her online neurodiversity advocacy grew from there. On LinkedIn, she is a micro-influencer with a large network of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion (EDI) and HR leaders.

During Autism Acceptance Month, April 2019, Charlie started delivering presentations and speeches about autism and neurodiversity inclusion in the workplace. This started as her side quest, but since leaving her HR Analyst role in June 2023 she has established a reputation as a popular and engaging keynote speaker. She is Professional Member of the Professional Speaking Association.

Ausome Charlie Ltd is a family business, and Charlie’s husband Si and eldest Azi are also involved. The LGBTQIA+ community is just as important to them as the neurodivergent community, and there is a significant correlation. We promote acceptance, compassion, support and love for young people on the ‘double rainbow’ intersection of autism and LGBTQIA+ in memory of Iggy, who tragically ended his life aged 15 after being tormented by bullies for being weird and gay.
