Oh Yes…I’m The Great Imposter: Imposter Syndrome and Being #OpenlyNeurodivergent
ll my life I have had a strong feeling that whatever I do, even if it is something that I know full well I am good at and am perfectly capable of doing, I am not good enough at it. I had no idea what this feeling was, but it has been there throughout my life and...
My Strange Interests as Someone Who is #OpenlyNeurodivergent
One thing that I know is very different about me as someone who is neurodivergent is the fact that I have some very strange and eclectic interests. When I was growing up, I knew that these interests were different and not at all like the sort of things that my peers...
All Eyes are on Me: Why I Hate Being Watched as Someone who is #OpenlyNeurodivergent
Picture the scene. It is New Years Day, and as the lyrics from the song by U2 go, all is quiet. My husband and I have taken a drive 2 junctions north on the M5 to run in my brand-new car that he picked up for me from Castle Donnington the day before. It is a while...
Why The #TakeTheMaskOff Campaign Resonated With Me
Ever since I can remember I have “masked” who I really am to try and “fit in” and be “normal”. Of course, I had no idea until recently that I was #OpenlyNeurodivergent. I just knew that I was “different” and that to be accepted by society, to hold down a job, be a...

Being #OpenlyNeurodivergent and The Road To Motherhood
Throughout my 20’s and 30’s I strived to fit in, to be like everyone else, not just in the workplace but with my family, friends and peers. I still had an overwhelming feeling that I wasn’t like everyone else, that I had no place in the world and that I didn’t belong....
Why I Love Food Shopping at Aldi as Someone who is #OpenlyNeurodivergent
Doing the weekly food shop as someone who is #OpenlyNeurodivergent used to fill me with a huge sense of dread. Firstly, there was getting to the supermarket through the traffic, and finding a parking space. Then there was the huge amount of sensory overload once I was...
In My Own Neurodivergent World….
I’ve always been happiest, as far back as I can remember, whenever I’ve been safely cocooned inside my “own” bubble. As a child I would spend hours and hours and hours in my bedroom, shut away from the outside world. I would spend my time in their watching my own TV...
I’m Neurodivergent – Now What?
In my last post where I talked about how I got diagnosed with autism in 2018 and with ADHD, dyspraxia and dyscalculia in 2023 I said that to understand why I am the way I am in the present, I needed to look back to my past. I will share some of the things from my...
