And I mean it. The real stuff. The questions you type and delete. The ones you whisper to yourself at 11pm. The ones you're too scared to ask anywhere else.

And I didn’t expect it to hit the way it has. Because the more I created these, the more I realised something… It’s not that people don’t careIt’s that people don’t understand So many things get labelled as “bad behaviour” “lazy” “too much” “overreacting” etc When actually… that’s not what’s going on at all So I created the A–Z of Neurodiversity Not a boring glossaryNot clinical definitionsNot stuff you read, listen to and forget But short, real-life videos, that explain what this actually looks like day to day… in real homes… with real kids And now Round 1 is complete: A – AuDHD B – Brain Fog C – Central Auditory Processing Disorder D – Dyslexia E – Emotional Dysregulation F – Focus Paralysis G – Global Developmental Delay H – Hyperfocus I – Interoception J – Justice Sensitivity K – Kinetic Seeking L – Low Demand Parenting M – Masking N – Nervous System O – Overwhelm P – PDA Q – Quirky Traits R – RSD S – Sensory Processing T – Tics U – Unmasking V – Vagus Nerve W – Window of Tolerance X – X-linked Conditions Y – Yelling Z – Zoning Out And the biggest thing I keep hearing is… “Ohhh… that makes sense now” Which is exactly the point You can watch these on YouTube, TikTok, and my socials BUT… Inside Mums Embracing Neurodiversity this is where we actually talk about it This is where you can say “that’s my child”“that’s me”“I thought it was just us” No judgement. No fixing. No pretending Just real conversations with people who get it If you’ve seen any of the A–Z videos… Which one hit you the most? And if you haven’t yet… Pick oneStart there You don’t need to understand everything, you just need one thing to click

What If You Don’t Even Know Who You Are Without the Mask? Not who you’ve learned to be.Not who people expect you to be. But actually… you. That feeling? Is often the start of unmasking.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗕𝗘𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗦 So the new chapter has begun. We are finally in Bali. This has been a long time coming. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗜𝗧 𝗡𝗢 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗧𝗔𝗟𝗞𝗦 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 The lead up to being here has been one hell of a ride. We have had lots of highs and lows in the few months that we were getting ready to come. My plan originally was to document everything, but chaos hit, overwhelm hit, and dysregulation hit. In all honesty, I wasn't able to string a sentence together, let alone do any form of videos or writing to keep everyone updated on our travels and our journey. 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗜’𝗠 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗪 I will be documenting the journey here on my blog and everywhere else because I know we're not the only people to go through these things. I know there are other people wanting to make big moves or big life changes like this, knowing how to honour yourself and come back to yourself when needed, and actually letting go of certain things at times when pressure gets too high. 𝗪𝗘’𝗥𝗘 𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗨𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 We are on our second full day in Bali, and we arrived three days ago. I have to say I feel like I'm at home. This just feels like, yeah, my place. 𝗟𝗜𝗟𝗬’𝗦 𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗙𝗧 (𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗪𝗢𝗪… 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗛𝗜𝗧 𝗠𝗘) Lily has settled really well. She's loving it here and said that she feels very calm and is shocked by how calm she feels and has really enjoyed kind of seeing the little bits around like children, walking the streets without adults present, just everyone being so friendly and happy. The warmth obviously makes a really big difference: the sunshine, the having a pool. It's just all really surreal for her at the moment, and I'm sure that she's going to have lots of highs and lows, but I already know that this was definitely the right move to make for her. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗜𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗦 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 Bringing her to a different country is a huge thing and one no parent would take lightly, but for me, knowing that she can start to get settled, find her feet, make friends, and go out is just phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal. She's even been happy for me to leave her at the villa where I go off and do things that needed to be done, like sorting out the internet or going to the shop or going to get food. Before, she would always have to come with me. She wouldn't feel safe enough to be left at home when we were in the UK, but here she's happy to be left, which is a big revelation for us, a huge one.

Ever Noticed a Movement or Sound That Just Keeps Happening? Blinking. Shoulder shrugging. Throat clearing. Little sounds or repeated words. It can feel confusing.Sometimes worrying. And the first thought is usually: “Why can’t they just stop?” That’s because these are often tics.
