Hi everyone,
This page is now out of use. You can find us over at Super Sen CIC ! There’s a page you can like and follow and also a group Super Sen CIC if you would like to join a private page. These are for neurodivergent individuals or parents of neurodivergent children. Although we are based in Solihull and Birmingham we are developing lots of online workshops and events.

We've been highlighting some neurodivergent brains, differences and strengths.

Call to action - Which one (s) are you?

Today I went for breakfast with two close friends (both ND). I love spending time with them both and we had the usual giggle and chat. It was really lovely to catch up.
However, the moment I walk away my brain starts to fog over, by time I’d driven home, I was done. I’ve been absolutely drained all afternoon and I’ve really struggled to be around others. My social battery is on empty.
Years ago, I’d push on through. I’d force myself to keep going and more often than not I’d end up in complete burn out. I wouldn’t be able to get out of bed and any interaction would lead me to being either in tears or agitated and shouty.
I’ve come to realise that I need to recognise these signs and give my brain time out. A quiet space (when possible), lower the demands on myself and often complete withdrawal from outside socialisation for a little while.
I’m lucky my family and friends completely understand this and my diagnoses have given me permission to kick off the guilt and to give my brain what it needs.
Our brain is a miraculous thing and if we don’t listen to it, then it finds another way. Usually complete burn out, where we are forced to stop and recover.
So be kind to yourself
RECOGNISE the signs you are socially exhausted. ⁉️
REST UP. Give yourself permission to stop. 💤
RECOVER. Let your brain repair💕

PLEASE SEND HELP!!!

This week I’ve found transitions sooooo hard 🤦‍♀️

I’ve had lots of little tasks to do that would probably be complete in a couple of hours, if only I could move from one task to the other 🤯

However, after every task I’ve doom scrolled or just sat and before I know it I’ve lost hours ⏰

I’m stuck! THE BIG SIT has won 🛋️

As we have a few more followers. I thought I’d do a bit of an update.
I’m Lisa and I’m a 46 year old Mom of 7 (4 biological, 3 step) Nanny of 3 (soon to be 4).
I was officially diagnosed as ADHD in December 22 and as being autistic in February 23. I have known for a long time that I felt different and didn’t quite fit in, until I met the most wonderful ladies (all autistic/adhd).
My 2 youngest (11 and 18) are also diagnosed autistic, dyspraxia, hypermobility and situational mutism and my older two (27, 23) both self identify, as autistic.
Currently I am home educating my youngest and life is pretty chilled away from the system but it’s took blood, sweat and lots and lots of tears to get here.
My aim is to share and create resources that can support you on your journey.
We also have a discussion page which is private and you can share your views.

Wiggling my toes is one of my stims. My children are always telling me to keep my toe still 😂 I also squeeze my hands to regulate myself, when I’m overloaded.
However, still at the age of 46, I find it very difficult to regulate once in fight or flight mode and I usually need another familiar adult to support me to do so.
If I push through on my own, I will stay disregulated and will be repeatedly triggered throughout the day 🙁

Having a positive self identity is so important and the language we use plays such a huge part in that. The Neurodiversity movement went a long way to promote this.
All brains are different and therefore neurodiversity is the absolute norm.
The two strands of this are Neurotypical (a brain that functions within the “norms” of society)and Neurodivergence (a brain that functions differently to this perceived “norm”)
Some examples of this are ADHD, autism and dyspraxia.
It is always important to remember that language is a very personal thing and ultimately, it is upto you as an individual, how you would like to identify.

Really worth a listen.

Billy (9) woke up this morning excited about it being bonfire night. We’ve been doing all about Guy Fawkes and fireworks this week, for home Ed and he jumped up this morning saying “yes we are going to see fireworks later.”
By 3 o’clock this afternoon, he’d got his pjs back on and was chilling on the bed. Don’t forget we are going out later I said. “Nah Mom save your £20. You know I like to stay in. Maybe next year.”I double checked but no he was adamant.
Years ago I would have been sad. Sad that he’d be “missing out”. Guilty that I wasn’t giving him the same experiences as his siblings. Worried that this would affect him in the future.
Now…well I went and had a shower and put my pj’s on too. I’ve long since realised that these things are my worries not his. He’s happy and chilled and can share his boundaries well and knows that they will be respected. 😊

We’d love to see your firework photos or videos or hear what you’ve been upto 💥 🔥
