Are you a dyspraxic or ADHD woman, or do you think you might be?
Does a lot of life advice for women feel like it’s not quite meant for you?
Were you told you’d grow out of dyspraxia or ADHD as a child, not grow into them as a woman?
If you want to understand what dyspraxia or ADHD means to you as an adult, and a woman, this talk is for you. It will cover every part of your neurodiversity journey and help you understand what dyspraxia and ADHD mean to you as a woman, in your relationship with others, yourself and your body. Sometimes uplifting and humorous and at other times unflinchingly honest about life’s rock bottoms, Maxine is someone who’s seen the best and worst of life and her writing is ready to cheer you on when you’re doing great and be there for you when you fall.
Maxine Roper is a dyspraxic and ADHD writer, who has been writing and speaking about neurodiversity for fifteen years. Her articles have appeared in the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph.
Maxine will be in a panel discussion with others who are neurodiverse.
Refreshments included
