“In all the years I spent trying to make sense of my brain, I was always looking for a reassuring older woman who knew exactly how I felt. By the time my brain made sense to me, I was old enough to be that person myself. Now, I’m writing this book because it is the one I wish I’d had when I was younger…”

• Are you a dyspraxic or ADHD woman, or do you think you might be?
• Does a lot of life advice for women feel like it’s not quite meant for you?
• Were you told you’d grow out of dyspraxia or ADHD as a child, not grow into them as a woman?

If you want to understand what dyspraxia or ADHD means to you as an adult, and a woman, this book is for you.

It will support you in every part of your neurodiversity journey and help you understand what dyspraxia and ADHD mean to you as a woman, in your relationship with others, yourself and even your body.

Sometimes uplifting and humorous and at other times unflinchingly honest about life’s rock bottoms, think of reading this book as having a coffee with someone who’s seen the best and worst of life and is ready to cheer you on when you’re doing great and be there for you when you fall.

Questions…

• Where can I buy the book? You can buy it from any bookseller, in store or online, or from the publisher at the link above.
• Where will I find it in a bookshop? Probably the Health and Wellbeing section. If not, they should be able to find or order it for you.
• Who is the book for? It’s aimed at women in their twenties and thirties – but people of other ages and genders have enjoyed reading it.
• Is it suitable for teenagers? The book is suitable for ages 16+. Discretion is advised for younger teens.
• Is it helpful for parents? It’s not a book about parenting, but parents of teenagers or young adults have found it helpful.
• Is there anything in the book about dyscalculia? Yes and no! As the book explains, my neurodivergent journey started with trying to make sense of lifelong Maths struggles. I’m not sure if they’re explained by the dyspraxia/ADHD combo, or by dyscalculia too. I’d like to know and be able to make friends with numbers…
• What about other types of neurodivergence? The book is mainly about dyspraxia and ADHD because they’re the closest to my experience and support needs. I don’t write about dyslexia or speech and language needs because they’re not my experience. However, the book was designed to be as readable as possible and is available as a dyslexia-friendly audiobook. There’s a list of recommended reading at the back which includes books by multiply-neurodivergent authors.
