🧠 Not broken. Just built differently.

🧬 Ground-breaking 2025 research published in Cell found shared genetic roots across 8 neurodivergent conditions—including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and Tourette’s. 🙌

❌ That’s not 8 disorders.

♾️ That’s one distinct neurotype—a natural variation in neurodevelopment, not just a collection of deficits.

🧠 Rather than viewing these as isolated “disorders,” this finding supports a shift toward understanding neurodivergence as a distinct cognitive profile—a valid and natural way of being.

✨ Neurodivergent people are not broken—just different.

✨ Neurodivergent brains are wired in ways that may not match the world around us, but that doesn’t make them wrong.

✨ Instead of trying to “fix” neurodivergent people, it’s time to create spaces that understand and support how we naturally think, feel, and relate.

💡🔗 Neurodivergent love isn’t broken—it’s just wired differently. 🧠❤️

🎯 One of you may need precision.
🤝 The other, reassurance.
⏬ One goes deep. ⏩ The other fast.
💬 Different processing ≠ bad communication—it just needs translation.

💥 Yes, it can spark conflict.
🫂 But it can also create a partnership full of perspective, empathy, and unexpected strengths.

🌳 One sees the forest. The other, every single tree. 🌲🌳

Together? You see the whole damn ecosystem. 🌎

“You’re too intense.” 🙃

💬 Translation: You feel deeply, think deeply, care deeply—and that makes others uncomfortable. 🫂

But intensity isn’t a flaw. It’s passion. It’s presence. It’s truth that doesn’t know how to water itself down. 🤩

✅ You’re not too much.
✅ You’re just not meant to be small.
✅ Let them adjust. Not you.

🧩 Neurodivergent hack: group your brain tasks to increase your capacity.

Don’t ping-pong from emails ➡️ dishes ➡️ feelings ➡️ paperwork.

Your brain likes categories. 🧠

✨ Stack similar tasks together.
✨ Then give yourself real breaks.

Cognitive batching = less chaos, more calm. ☺️

🫥 People-pleasing and neurodivergent masking aren’t the same—but both are survival strategies.

People-pleasing is when you ignore your own needs to keep others happy.

Masking, for neurodivergent folks, means hiding traits like stimming, sensory sensitivities, or communication differences to appear “neurotypical.” 🗣️🗨️

🤝 One is about social approval.
🦺 The other is about social safety.

Both can leave you drained, disconnected, and unsure who you really are. 😕

You deserve spaces where you don’t have to shrink or shape-shift to belong. 🧩

📌 Not all anxiety is a disorder—especially for neurodivergent folks. 🤝

Sometimes, it’s a natural response to a world that overloads your senses, misunderstands your communication, or pushes you to mask constantly. 🎭

GAD = chronic, excessive worry.
ND Anxiety = often situational, sensory, or social—rooted in lived experience, not faulty wiring.

🧠 Know the difference.
💡 Compassion starts there.

😄 Happiness Tip - Consider adopting a pet! Pets can add real joy and unconditional love to our life.

🐶 There is a connection between happiness and living in the present moment. Mind wandering to the past leads us to unhappiness, as does the anxiety we feed when we live in the future. Pets compel us and beckon us to be present. Who can resist the gaze of a sweet puppy?

🤗 The companionship of a pet can also ease loneliness and help adults to stay active and social. Stroking, hugging, or otherwise touching a loving animal can rapidly calm and soothe us when we are stressed or anxious. Pets provide structure and routine to our lives and can help children to learn about responsibility.

🧠 I define myself as a “neurodiversity affirming therapist” and feel absolutely honoured to work with neurodiverse individuals and couples.

This means I understand and work with , and other groups through the lens of neuroscience. Autism is associated with differences in the brain which result in a divergence from neurotypical standards, in terms of how brains filter and make sense of information. 💡

I endeavour to help clients shed misplaced humiliation and a sense of failure by becoming conscious of and removing the notion that ‘typical’ traits are superior. It is the neurodiverse individuals in our society that move humanity along. People included in this category are: Dan Aykroyd - Actor and Film Writer; Albert Einstein - Scientist & Mathematician; Daryl Hannah - Actress & Environmental Activist; Anthony Hopkins – Actor; Tim Burton – Movie Director; Andy Warhol – Artist; Steve Jobs – Former CEO of Apple; Bill Gates – Co-founder of the Microsoft Corporation; etc.., etc…

I help clients to celebrate their unique strengths such as:

☑ Learning to read at a very early age (known as hyperlexia)
☑ Memorizing and learning information quickly
☑ Thinking and learning in a visual way
☑ Capable of kinesthetic learning (use of all senses to engage in learning)
☑ Logical thinking ability
☑ May excel (if able) in academic areas such as science, engineering and mathematics as they are technical and logical subjects that do not heavily rely on social interaction
☑ Having an extraordinarily good memory
☑ Being precise and detail orientated
☑ Exceptional honesty and reliability
☑ Being dependable in regards to schedules and routines
☑ Having an excellent sense of direction
☑ Be very punctual
☑ Strong adherence to rules
☑ Able to concentrate for long periods of time when motivated
☑ A drive for perfection and order
☑ A capability for alternate problem solving
☑ A rare freshness and sense of wonderment

⚙How can we cope and maintain our emotional well-being in the face of stress, trauma or painful emotions?

🧬 EVOLVE - Be open-minded and willing to change our thoughts and assumptions, accept responsibility and to acquire new skills in the face of new information.

🎨 PIVOT CREATIVELY - View obstacles as an opportunity for growth, an opportunity to learn, and also to increase our capacity to endure.

🧘🏼‍♀️ CHOOSE DIFFERENTLY - Change emotional reactions that do not serve us by increasing our perspective. Meditation, breathing, exercise, systemic relaxation and techniques for constructive emotional release can help with this.

🎯 ALIGN - Consider how you spend your days and ask yourself if that is the primary focus of your life.
