Hi I’m Kirsten,

Firstly, “thank you” for joining me on this journey. Let’s hope it doesn’t become the latest hyper focus! I thought I’d take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about me, and why I’ve set up this blog…

As someone who is late-diagnosed Autistic and ADHD, I’ve recently learnt a lot about myself and the wider world, and how neurodiversity plays its part in my experiences.

This blog is essentially my attempt to look at life through a neurodiverse lens. I’m hoping that my ramblings will help others, either by validating their experiences, sharing resources, or even just starting a dialogue. I’m by no means an expert, and have no qualifications relating to the study of neurodiversity; I’m no psychologist or psychiatrist, just passionate about supporting others.

It’s worth noting that just because these are my experiences, does not mean that all people with similar/the same diagnoses will experience the world in the same way.
