It comes to us all, the desire to do something that gives our lives purpose: I was running on empty in bare feet, so I quit my corporate career to do many hundreds of hours of psychology research which had two outcomes:
1. I set up #happyinschoolproject CIC to provide advocacy and information to parents and educators about how autism and ADHD can be missed in younger children, especially those from black Caribbean heritage.
2. I finished capturing the epic tale of my son's diagnosis which was published in my first non-fiction book:
S.E.N.D. in the Clowns, Essential Autism and ADHD Family Guide.
I discovered I am the owner of a Brilliant ADHD brain in my fifties and I continue to use this brain to spark conversations, challenge ignorance, write books, articles, poetry give keynotes, training and workshops.
