Because instagram perfect self-care routines aren’t the vibe 👀

Any fellow neurodivergent humans will know the importance of these. The things that make you feel like you again, especially following a late diagnosis where self-connection is vital. The things that bring PURE Neurodivergent joy (that you’re allowed to feel!)

From one late diagnosed Neurodivergent to another, here are 5 things currently anchoring my neurodivergent brain:

💚 Video games: I've been gaming for as long as I can remember and right now I'm completely obsessed with DS2 and SH f. Can’t stop won’t stop delivering & pausing my game at every jump scare 👀

💚 Reading & Learning: I’ve realised that beginning ADHD meds last year brought back a part of me that burnout had completely stolen. That curious spark in me I haven’t seen in SO long properly came back. The more I understand about the world, the easier it is to call out the BS (I get my know-it-all side from Autism 👀).

💚 Music: Music has always been a massive part of my life. It helps me process my emotions & puts words to experiences I can’t articulate. Right now I’m resonating a lot with Fightstar and President (no connection between the two i swear).

💚 Creativity: Drawing lets me communicate when words fail. Specialising in Neurodivergence in my therapy practice, I’ve also come to realise words aren’t always everything. There's really no feeling quite like getting so excited about something that you physically need to draw it RIGHT NOW.

💚 Unmasking: I’ve been on an ongoing journey for a while with this, learning that being myself is actually safe. I don't need to tone it down. I don't need to ‘do better.’ I can just exist as I am.

Petition here to normalise neurodivergent self-care that doesn't look like bubble baths & meditation!!
