Jessica 2025-09-25T13:05:12+00:00

If you’re neurodivergent (autistic, ADHD, dyslexic, dyspraxic, Tourette’s, or otherwise wired a little differently), you’re not “too much” or “too sensitive”—you’re wonderfully you. And yet, many neurodiverse people experience more anxiety, low mood, burnout, and overwhelm than their neurotypical peers. That isn’t a personal failing; it’s what happens when a brain with different needs must navigate a world designed for someone else.
