At howtobeneurodivergent.com,
I create resources that
bridge the gap between
recognizing your neurotype
and understanding
how to work with it.
Hi, my name is Heather.
I’m late-identified autistic and ADHD.
Let’s explore what it
means to embrace
neurodivergence
after years of trying
to be neurotypical.
It’s about
acquiring the tools to
show up as
our best selves.
Then doing it,
one step at a time.

💡Education
I offer articles, guides, and insights based on research and my personal experience of late-identified autism and ADHD. Discover the science behind neurodivergence, strategies for managing executive dysfunction, and tips for navigating relationships, work, and daily life. Whether you're newly diagnosed or exploring your identity further, I hope the information here empowers you with knowledge to better understand yourself and take positive action.
💛Connection
I work to foster a sense of belonging through community-building opportunities and shared stories. Explore personal essays, interviews with neurodivergent adults, and tips for cultivating meaningful relationships. Find supportive spaces through my social media presence to engage with others who understand your journey. Share in the successes and struggles of others, and meet people who "get it." Be inspired by out-of-the-box ideas that can be adapted to suit your own life.
⭐Resources
Here, you'll find practical tools and curated recommendations designed to make life easier and more enjoyable. Access printable planners, comprehensive guides and courses, sensory-friendly product lists, and tips for self-advocacy in healthcare and workplaces. My goal is to equip you with actionable solutions to meet your unique needs and support your authentic life. With input from my readers, I'd love to grow the offerings here into a truly helpful and meaningful, go-to source.
“What sets howtobeneurodivergent.com apart is the focus on late-diagnosed adults. So many resources out there feel geared toward kids, but this site has helped me navigate the world in a way that finally makes sense.”
Jane Miller
Hello! I'm Heather,
a late-identified
autistic ADHDer,
former social worker,
and mother of six.
I received my diagnosis at 40 years old.
The follow-up appointment consisted
of a handful of book recommendations and
a deficits based report written
in the language of the DSM.
Nothing magically changed for me, yet
everything was suddenly different.
And I had no idea
how to move on with my life.
