About No Heels, No Problem: A Neurodivergent Survival Guide with Maxine Roper

If you want to understand what dyspraxia or ADHD means to you as an adult, and a woman, this book is for you.

It will support you in 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 even your body.

Sometimes uplifting and humorous and at other times unflinchingly honest about life’s rock bottoms, think of reading this book as having a coffee with someone who’s seen the best and worst of life and is ready to cheer you on when you’re doing great and be there for you when you fall.

About Maxine Roper:

Specialisms: ADHD, Dyspraxia, Mental Health, Suicide Bereavement, Co-production

Maxine Frances Roper is a writer and speaker.

She started her career in media and journalism and moved into copywriting and communications work within the charity sector following multiple experiences of suicide loss.

She is the co-author of ‘Finding the Words’, a guide to supporting someone bereaved or affected by suicide, a member of the National Suicide Prevention Alliance (NSPA)'s Lived Experience Network, and an Ambassador for Suicide&Co, who provide pay-what-you-can counselling for people bereaved by suicide.

Maxine has also used her lived experience to promote better understanding and support for neurodivergent adults. Her first book, a survival guide for dyspraxic and ADHD women, is due for publication in 2024.

Her first novel ‘Catch A Moving Train' is due out on submission within the next year. Maxine is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a former Trustee of the Dyspraxia Foundation.
