Welcome to “Understanding Neurodivergence”
I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you’re brand new to learning about autism, ADHD, and neurodivergence — or you’re starting to recognize parts of yourself in these experiences — you’re in the right place.
This space was created for real learning, real connection, and real stories.
Not textbook definitions.
Not outdated stereotypes.
Not “one-size-fits-all” explanations.
Here, we dig deeper into what it actually means to live as a neurodivergent person — with all the beauty, complexity, and reality that comes with it.
What is Neurodivergence?
Neurodivergence simply means that some people’s brains work differently than what’s considered “typical.”
It’s not bad.
It’s not broken.
It’s just different.
Common forms of neurodivergence include Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, and more — and every neurodivergent person experiences the world in their own unique way.
You’ll find clear explanations here, real-life examples, and reflections from my own journey as a late-diagnosed autistic and ADHD woman.
I’m here to tell you: you are not alone, and you are not wrong for being different.
How to Use This Space:
If you’re just getting started:
👉 Begin with What is Neurodivergence? — a simple guide to understanding the basics.
If you want to dive deeper:
👉 Explore the Autism or ADHD sections, where I break down what these experiences really feel like — especially how they often show up differently in girls, women, and marginalized groups.
If you’re more of a listener:
👉 Check out the Video Library for short, real-talk videos where I break it down even more casually.
If you’re here wondering if you might be neurodivergent:
👉 Read gently. Notice what resonates. There’s no pressure, no checklist you have to pass.
Finding yourself is not about fitting into a diagnosis — it’s about finally feeling seen.
A Note Before You Begin:
You don’t have to be formally diagnosed to honor your lived experience.
You don’t have to be “severe enough” to deserve understanding or support.
You don’t have to explain your brain to anyone to make it real.
You are allowed to trust yourself.
You are allowed to belong here.
I’m so excited to learn and grow with you. 💛
