Honest writing about ADHD, autism, AuDHD life, pregnancy, birth, parenting, relationships, work, identity, burnout, masking and the messy reality of being human.
Some posts are practical. Some are personal. Some are rants with a point. All of them come from the belief that neurodivergent people do not need fixing. We need understanding, support and room to do things differently.
Neurodivergent pregnancy, birth and parenting, including ADHD and AuDHD pregnancy, maternity care, birth trauma, C-section recovery, feeding, sensory overload, matrescence, mum guilt, relationships after baby and life with a baby.
These are the posts about the bits of pregnancy, birth and parenting that people do not always say out loud, especially when you are ADHD, autistic or AuDHD.
Writing about ADHD, autism, AuDHD life, work, relationships, burnout, masking, coaching, assistive technology, inclusion, family life and becoming yourself without trying to squeeze into someone else’s idea of normal.
This is where we write about neurodivergent life more broadly, including the things that make us think, rant, laugh, question systems and call for change.
