About

Hello! My name is Lucy and I’m a neurodivergent mother to neurodivergent children.

I grew up knowing I was different, and not understanding why the things I found so difficult seemed so effortless to others, but like many females around my age I wasn’t diagnosed, so I bumbled through life confused and desperately trying to hold it all together. Endlessly trying new weird and wonderful ways to keep my life from going completely off the rails. Despite my extensive efforts just to be ‘normal’… I was living in overly organised chaos.

When I became a mother the (quite frankly bizarre) coping strategies I’d somehow survived on, stopped working. I was drowning in a world I didn’t understand and that didn’t understand me. The mask was slipping and it was becoming more and more clear. I wasn’t like the other Mums.

Discovering I was neurodivergent was WILD. I felt every feeling good and bad and questioned myself so much. Navigating being a new mother as well as re-learning everything about myself was challenging. At times it was brutal. It felt like there was so much information on how to parent ADHD and autistic children, but not so much for ADHD and autistic parents to help themselves. I devoured thousands of hours of online information, studies, books, podcasts, you name it. I needed to understand and improve my life or what was the point!? After an intense few years of learning all I could and speaking to other AuDHD adults, eventually knowing the truth became one the best things that’s ever happened to me!

So I decided to create the thing I was hoping to find myself. Combining my life long love of lists and over planning with the clarity of actually understanding autism and ADHD brains and what works well for us. To help people accommodate their own needs and be able to enjoy the world more, feel more confident and have fewer meltdowns with neurodivergent focused guides on how to navigate life and actually enjoy doing so!
