This community is for women exploring what neurodivergence means for you.

Many of us have grown up feeling like we’re weird, alien, a misfit or an outsider.

If like me, you’ve spent a lifetime trying to find answers about why it’s so hard to “fit”, about what makes you different, that’s exactly what you’ll get here!

You might be curious about what neurodivergence means for you, finding comfort in hearing familiar experiences that deeply resonate and then doubting that this is your truth at all. 

It’s comforting being able to access resources, how and when you want, as you dance between neurokin awareness to self acceptance. This community will give you a choice to be alongside others doing the same.

BELONG… we are neurokin is a community for you if you’re exploring what neurodivergence means for you and how you live your life.

  • Given that information about neurodivergence has been scant for most of our lifetimes, due to narrow research outside of the dominant power groups and a lack of wider understanding of lived experiences.

  • The information that has been heavily relied upon comes from the medical model; laden in deficit based bias and ableism.

  • This means that many of us are discovering our neurodivergence later in life. We’ve grown up not having a large and important piece of information about ourselves and how we naturally communicate, connect and experience the world.

Questions?

Feel free to ask me for more information about Belong…we are neurokin.

I often have neuro curious women get in touch with me, in private spaces on social media. It’s an honour for me to be maybe the first person they have asked a question to or shared their neurodivergent discovery with.

Often you may be holding lot of questions, doubts and bewildering emotions inside. That can be overwhelming and isolating.

I know the power of that first contact you make when you’re curious about how neurodivergence affects you. It meant the world to me when I was feeling overwhelmed and fearful of what exploring neurodivergence would open up.

I haven’t looked back since 😊

A bit about me; I’m Andrea Anderson. Discovering I’m autistic aged 45 has been life changing for me! My mission is to inform and inspire positive change for neurokin - to improve the quality of our lives through better understanding of our strengths and needs. 

As a professional Coach, with tons of experience of working with many women

  • to help them accept their strengths and remove their blocks

    • accepting and enjoying their own unique creativity

    • no longer functioning in ways they think they ought to

    • helping them to be compassionate to themselves in their struggles

    • opening up a world of possibilities for them when they become unapologetically their true selfs.

My first book; This Is Who I Am…The Autistic Woman’s Creative Guide to Belonging was published in July 2024.

We’re often comfortable to go off in tangents! We understand how it feels to have a dysregulated nervous system, that irritating noise, the lights that are too bright or to feel overwhelmed with anxiety - the horror of rejection sensitivity on loop. It’s a joy to be in the company of neurokin who have alternative ways of seeing ideas’ concepts and problems. Participate in the comments section, or support this work with a subscription.
