Rooted in lived experience. Growing through compassion. Reaching toward possibility.

Dr. Prossy Nakanwagi holds MBChB and MPH qualifications and is studying functional medicine. She is a medical doctor, autism advocate and co founder of Blossom Spectrum Wellness Ltd. Her work is shaped by more than a decade of personal experience navigating autism after her firstborn son received a diagnosis.

Despite her medical background, Dr. Prossy encountered uncertainty, stigma, limited information and fragmented support. Her family’s journey led her to explore a range of interventions and approaches, including speech and occupational therapy, medication and nutritional interventions, complementary approaches, aqua and pet therapy, music, horse riding and karate. These experiences strengthened her understanding that no single pathway works for every individual, and that informed decisions, consistent support, psychosocial care and family empowerment matter.

Dr. Prossy founded Advancing Autism Family Support Organization, which began as an informal parent support forum and became a registered nonprofit organisation in 2023. In 2024, she co founded Blossom Spectrum Wellness Ltd. to extend this vision through a holistic, family centred approach to autism support and beyond.

Her areas of work include post diagnosis counselling and family support, parent coaching, psychosocial support, individualised management approaches, transitional support, training for families and professional caregivers, autism awareness, community education and advocacy for inclusion. She is passionate about equipping parents and caregivers with knowledge and practical tools while reminding them that their own wellbeing matters too.

Her guiding belief: “No one should be left behind simply because of a diagnosis.”

Cynthia Kabagambe is a Neurodiversity Programmes Specialist, advocate, educator and co founder of Blossom Spectrum Wellness Ltd. She brings more than a decade of combined professional and lived experience in disability and neurodiversity.

Cynthia holds a degree in Communication Skills and Literature, which informs her interest in communication, inclusion and creating meaningful opportunities for people with different communication and learning profiles to express themselves and participate in their communities.

She spent seven years in the United Kingdom working as a support worker with adults with learning disabilities through Care UK. This experience strengthened her practical understanding of person centred support, safeguarding, daily living skills, independence and community participation.

Her professional journey became deeply personal through raising her son, now a teenager living with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This lived experience gives her first hand insight into the questions families navigate across childhood and adolescence, including communication, learning, sensory needs, emotional wellbeing, education, independence and family wellbeing.

Cynthia later spent more than two and a half years as Centre Manager at Open Friends, coordinating and developing programmes for children with special needs and working collaboratively with families, therapists and learning support teams. She has also undertaken Neurodiversity Specialist Training.

She is particularly interested in practical, strengths based programmes that bridge the gap between professional services and everyday family life. Her areas of interest include autism and learning disability support, caregiver education, communication, functional life skills, inclusive education, safeguarding, sensory wellbeing and family support.

Her guiding belief: “Every person deserves the opportunity to blossom into the fullest expression of who they are.”
