No Heels, No Problem
A Neurodivergent Survival Guide to Adult Life When You’re Dyspraxic or ADHD
“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.
