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 women, in your relationship with others, yourself and even your body. It's the survival guide I wish I had growing up - so I have written it for you instead. Sometimes uplifting and humours 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.
