It’s designed to strengthen connection, reduce conflict, and make everyday family life feel calmer and more cooperative.

Feel Good Friday, Leadership starts with regulation.
For neurodiverse individuals in the workplace, rest is not a luxury.
It’s a strategic tool.
A regulated brain thinks clearer, communicates better, solves problems faster, and thrives longer.
If you’ve been pushing through sensory overload, emotional fatigue, or cognitive overwhelm:
Take this as a reminder:
- Rest protects performance.
- Rest sustains productivity.
- Rest is not optional for a healthy brain.

Let’s model a culture where recovery is respected, not judged.

🌟 Word of the Day: Masking

Masking is what happens when someone pretends to be “okay,” “fine,” or “typical” on the outside while struggling on the inside.

It’s a survival strategy, not a choice.

People mask to:
• avoid being judged
• avoid looking “rude,” “weird,” or “too much”
• copy social rules
• stay safe
• blend in
• make others comfortable

Masking can look like:
• forcing eye contact
• copying tone, facial expressions or body language
• rehearsing what to say
• hiding stims
• holding in emotions
• smiling through overwhelm
• being the “perfect student” or “model employee”
• collapsing at home after keeping it together all day

Masking is exhausting.
It leads to burnout, anxiety, identity confusion, and can delay diagnosis, especially in girls, women, AFAB people, and people of colour.
Unmasking isn’t about being “inappropriate”, it’s about being safe enough to be yourself.

Support looks like:
• creating sensory-friendly spaces
• allowing movement and stimming
• reducing social pressure
• respecting communication differences
• checking in with how someone really is
• valuing authenticity over performance

The kinder the environment, the less someone needs to mask.

Safety allows authenticity. 💛

Most women don’t struggle because they’re “too emotional.”

They struggle because they’ve spent years disconnecting from themselves just to keep the peace, hold the family together, or survive in relationships where their needs were never truly seen.

The Connected Woman is a guide for every woman who has ever asked herself:
“Why do I feel so lonely in a relationship?”
“Why do I give everything, yet still feel unseen?”
“Why do I lose myself trying to meet everyone else’s needs?”

This is your reminder that connection isn’t about doing more.
It’s about coming home to yourself.

Inside this guide, I walk you through:
✨ Understanding your emotional patterns (especially if you’re neurodiverse)
✨ Healing people-pleasing and over-functioning
✨ Rebuilding boundaries without guilt
✨ Reconnecting with your own identity, values, and voice
✨ Creating intimacy and understanding in your relationship
✨ What healthy love actually looks and feels like
✨ How to stop carrying the emotional load alone

You’ll learn how to recognise the behaviours that disconnect you, the beliefs that keep you small, and the habits that sabotage closeness, and how to rebuild from a place of confidence and self-worth.

You deserve connection.
You deserve reciprocity.
You deserve to feel chosen, not tolerated.

The Connected Woman is for the woman who’s finally ready to stop surviving… and start living.

Discover The Connected Woman: How to Love Without Losing Yourself, an insightful guide crafted for individuals navigating relationships while embracing their neurodiversity. At Neurodiversity Support, we champion self-awareness and balance in interpersonal connections. This book aligns perfectly wit...

🌟 Word of the Day: Differentiation

Differentiation is the art of adjusting learning so every child can succeed.
It recognises that kids don’t come in one shape, one speed, or one learning style, and neurodiverse children often need things presented differently, not more “strictly.”

Differentiation can look like:

• giving extra processing time
• breaking work into small steps
• using visuals instead of long verbal instructions
• offering choices (write, draw, type, talk)
• reducing unnecessary writing
• chunking information
• adjusting the environment (lighting, noise, movement breaks)
• simplifying language
• using a scribe or scaffold

It is not giving easier work, “making excuses,” or lowering expectations.

It’s creating equal access so children can show what they know without being blocked by sensory, processing or executive functioning demands.

Great differentiation says:

“You’re capable, so I’ll teach in a way your brain understands.”

Differentiation isn’t optional, it’s inclusion.

✨ “Different brains aren’t broken. They’re brilliant, the world just hasn’t caught up to how valuable they are.”

If you’re raising, teaching, or supporting a neurodiverse person, please hear this:
Their brain is not a problem to solve.
It’s a perspective the world desperately needs.
The creativity, honesty, deep thinking, hyperfocus, passion, empathy, humour, these are strengths, not symptoms.

The real issue is that too many systems still expect one “typical” way of thinking, behaving, or learning… and anything outside of that gets labelled as “wrong.”

But these brains aren’t behind.

They’re ahead, just in a direction society didn’t design for.
When we understand how someone’s brain actually works, we stop trying to squeeze them into boxes and start building environments where they flourish.
Let’s value neurodiverse minds, not apologise for them.

🌟 Word of the Day: Dopamine Seeking

Dopamine Seeking is the brain’s hunt for motivation.
For ADHD and many neurodiverse people, dopamine levels are naturally lower, so your brain is constantly looking for something that feels rewarding, interesting, new, fun, urgent, anything that makes the brain say “YES, this!”

This can look like:
• starting new projects but not finishing them
• craving excitement, noise or movement
• scrolling endlessly
• impulsive decisions
• boredom that feels physically painful
• needing pressure or deadlines
• feeding off chaos because it “wakes the brain up”
• being able to focus perfectly on something interesting, but not on the “boring” stuff

This isn’t bad behaviour, poor discipline or immaturity.

It’s biology, the brain looking for fuel.

Supporting dopamine seeking means:
• using timers
• adding interest to boring tasks
• breaking things down
• giving choices
• adding movement
• celebrating small wins
• using external structure (aka “dopamine scaffolding”)

The goal isn’t to “fix” dopamine seeking, it’s to work with it.

Add interest, movement, choice and small rewards, and watch motivation return.
