Raising An Emotionally
Charged Ostrich
Surviving Autism & ADHD with
Honesty, Humour, and Low Standards
This isn’t your typical autism parenting or ADHD survival guide.
​
You won’t find miracle morning routines, Pinterest-ready schedules, or glossy advice on 'fixing' your child.
Instead, this is an unfiltered, painfully honest, and darkly funny memoir about raising a neurodivergent child... And trying not to lose your mind in the process.
​
Part relatable chaos, part practical insight, Raising an Emotionally Charged Ostrich offers real-life parenting support for families navigating autism, ADHD, or both. It’s the kind of book you turn to when you’re done with polite advice and just want the truth - the tired, messy, laugh-through-tears kind of truth.
​
Inside, you’ll find small sparks of ASD support for parents tucked between the tantrums, tears, breakthroughs, and biscuit crumbs. It’s not a manual - it’s survival. With humour. With love. And with no filter.
​
So, if you’re parenting a neurodivergent child, searching for autism parenting support, or just need to know you’re not the only one hiding in the bathroom with a snack, this one’s for you.

My Story
I’m a mother, an author, and a proud mid-life crisis ticket holder. I’ve been published since I was 13 (yes, that poem in a nationwide kids’ writing competition absolutely counts), and I’ve never stopped telling stories that matter.
​
I’m a voice for anyone who can’t quite find the words, for those knee-deep in the messy middle of autism parenting, ADHD overwhelm, or just life in general. An advocate for neurodiversity and for all those awkward bits we’d rather pretend didn’t exist.
By day, I write blogs and content for real people with real businesses, and by night, I pour my chaos into my blog and books to offer a different kind of ASD support for parents - one built on honesty, humour, and the odd biscuit crumb.​​​​
I’m also an artist, graphic designer, and coffee-drinking expert (I know nothing about beans, but I can put away a latte with alarming speed). And as a not-yet-diagnosed (thanks to the terrifying assessment price tag!) ADHDer, I’m learning to find peace in the art of oversharing.
​
Publishing my first book, Raising an Emotionally Charged Ostrich, has me bouncing around like a kid on Blue Smarties and half a gallon of cola. It’s a big old tick off the bucket list, and a small victory against getting old and boring.
​
Now I’m steamrolling straight into the next book. And with 1,001 ideas ping-ponging around my head, it’s time you pulled up a chair and got comfy.
​
I can’t promise sanity, solace, or sangria (heck, I don’t even drink!), but I can promise honesty, a few laughs, and a whole lot of reality. Because honestly, life’s too messy to go it alone.
