ABOUT:

It’s often said that having an Autistic brain is like driving a car with a Ferreri engine, but the breaks of a bicycle. And that is 10000% true. I can focus for 12 hours straight on an edit, complete a rubicks cube in 2 minutes, make this entire website in 2 days, but I can also routinley fall asleep on the floor, forget every appointment I’ve made, and cease to funcion in any meaningful way before 4pm.
I (mostly) love the way my weird brain functions, the more I work with my hot-rod neuorchemical wiring instead of against it, the better I feel and the more I create. However, it’s not without huge challenges. Particularly as I lived most of my life undiagnosed, totally unaware of either ADHD or Autism, let alone their impacts.

I received my diagnosed for ADHD & Autism aged 28, and it changed my life. I’d lived through my entire adolencence and early 20s with a feeling of never belonging, and a whole suite of mental illnesses (all of which are extremely common and severe in neurodiverse people).
I discovered the impacts and effects of ADHD & Austism after those really challenging years. I always knew I couldn’t focus like a regular, well-adjusted person; and to most people, that is all ADHD is. But as I read more, I found it cut to the core of so many core issues at the heart of who I am, and how I want to live and work.

I wouldn’t want to change my past - but now that I know the power of a diagnosis, and of the self-awareness, and acceptance it can foster, I hope to be able to help more neurodicerse young people find their place in the world.
