Your Neurodiversity Buddy
Hello
And welcome to my website, I hope you will enjoy looking through it to get an insight into, who I am, what I like to do and, my story in general. If I can help, you on your own journey and maybe inspire you to do something that is really important and what you really want to do, then go for it.
I had years of people putting me down, people saying I wasn't good enough, no self-confidence, I was bullied as a child, a teenager and also as an adult. But in the end what you see today, it's taken a lot of work, lots of ups and downs. I have friends that believe in me and have made me see that I am good enough,
I can do things that I want to do without feeling inferior to other people, or just not worth it. I also have special talents that make me unique and who I am, for example, I make people laugh sometimes not because something's funny, but as my way of coping with situations which makes people smile. I care about my friends, family and other people I may meet become friends with, this makes me happy.
My Story
I am a 50 year old woman with 3 Neurodiverse conditions, which are Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Dyscalculia. I have lived with these conditions all my life, it has not been easy as I was written off when in school and college, I was told by the Careers Advisor, "You will not get a job, not any job, not even in McDonalds" I was 17 years old at the time so all my dreams were shattered. I have taught myself everything I know how to do today, I have worked in a range of industries, so I know how it feels to live day to day being unable to cope. so I set this website and social pages up to be a listening ear if people want to reach out and chat. I have been together with Paul, my husband, for 28 years as a couple and married to him for 19 years, which is a very long time. He also comes to the Take That and other artist gigs, we have amazing adventures together.
