THE TIME HAS COME AFTER WHAT FEELS LIKE 89 YEARS the Stim Hoodie is a real physical thing and we’ve finally launched it so ppl can have their very own stimmy fashion fits 🥹🧠 over 10 months of dedication have gone into this hoodie, and just so much love (and so many tears)!!!! we can’t believe how many orders we’ve had so far, it doesn’t feel real!! We’re honestly so overwhelmingly happy right now and so excited for people to get their Stim Hoodies ✨💕 #adhd #autism #audhd #neurodivergent #stimming

making some big life moves out here and I am absolutely TERRIFIED I cannot lie. I’ve worked in finance for over 5 years now, spent SO MUCH of my time and energy time studying and climbing the corporate ladder, but it’s time to take a risk and change career paths to better-align my life with the way my brain works. I CANNOT sustain these bimonthly burnout cycles any longer. I’m so excited to pour everything into my community-driven clothing brand Club Neuro, build a life that nurtures my burned out lil brain, and create capacity to make this community the best it can be. Anyone who knows me understands how passionate I am about raising awareness of and destigmatising adhd and autism, and I’m just so ready to start this next chapter of building the community space I wish little Liv had growing up. Also, I’m posting this from the depths of burnout but it’s okay because things will get better!! I’m sorry for how fast I’m speaking as well, I’ve made this reel 3 different ways and this is the closest I can get to cramming everything in to 90 seconds lol #adhd #autism #neurodivergent #actuallyautistic #audhd #businessowners #quityourjob #quitcorporate #corporatelife #adhdadult #autisticadult

I’ve been working on something I am SO EXCITED about. I’ve poured my heart and soul into this brand and I feel so happy I can finally share it here. I have been looking for a brand like this since I decided to embrace my neurodivergence and strive to live as the most authentic version of myself. I want to revolutionise the perception and experience of ADHD (and autism), recognising the challenges, strengths, and everything in between. Discovering my ADHD and autism has changed my life forever, it has validated challenges I’ve faced my entire, after always believing I was somehow broken. I am learning to embrace who I am, and stop hiding all of the challenges I masked for so many years. It’s given me the opportunity to reframe my perception of myself, and my mind is a much nicer place to be as a result. I want other people to learn more about their own neurodivergence and feel like they can wear it with pride, embracing their authentic selves❤️ We’re getting ready to re-launch our private community and announce the official launch date of our ADHD-inspired apparel. 👀 Don’t miss a thing—click the link in our bio to join the waitlist. Let’s empower neurodivergence and build something meaningful together. 💪 #adhdbrain #adhdwomen #adhdinwomen #adhd #autism #audhd #adhder #adhdadult #adhdawareness #adhdlife #adhdinwomen #adhdinmen #adhdsupport #adhdadult

some of the VERY MANY things which just never made sense to me as an autistic gal, I have lived a life of perpetual social confusion it seems (which is still ongoing tbf lol) 🧠🧠🧠 #autism #audhd #autistic #actuallyautistic #autisticwomen

AD the best ADHD hack of my life is the opposite of every productivity tip I’ve ever been given. DO NOT EAT THE FROG!! I start SMALL (embarrassingly small), I wake up and brush my teeth for two minutes and get my first thing ticked off my to-do list, and the lil dopamine hit gets everything else moving for the day ahead. The Oral-B iO helps because it times 2 minutes for you, it’s quiet, and it rotates and vibrates at the same time so it’s actually doing the job even when you’re half asleep. You get to say you did a thing before your day has properly even started. You can grab it at @bootsuk , link in bio! @oralb_uk @bootsuk #OralB #AD #ADHD #neurodivergent #morningroutine

Happy International Women’s Day! 🧠🥹 I am forever grateful to be surrounded (physically and digitally) by so many amazing women who inspire me to embrace the parts of myself I was always taught to hide growing up as a lil adhd and autistic girl 🧠 A caveat for my basic b*tch slide: I don’t think there is anything wrong with being called basic at all, a man would NEVER be called basic for having stereotypical interests/aesthetics but as soon as a woman does something stereotypical it feels as though it’s met with criticism. So this is me reclaiming the term basic b*tch! Also I did want to write ‘women’ on the cover slide but girls just fitted in the gap next to my head better lol #internationalwomensday #adhd #autism #neurodivergence #womensday

sharing my wisdom 🙏 #adhd #rumination #lettinggo #stoicism

the good, the bad and the ugly of alcohol as an AuDHD gal I didn’t ever really set out to stop drinking and I am not fully sober atm, but I just started noticing the same patterns in myself every single time I drank and eventually I couldn’t ignore them anymore I would get the dopamine spike, my social anxiety would drop, masking would feel easier and I would just think less (which feels so good to someone who lives in their head 99% of the time). In the moment it felt great, then a few days later I would feel flat, anxious, low, get brain fog, and disconnected from myself. It would take me longer than it “should” to feel normal again. I didn’t want to make a big announcement or start setting rules for myself (demand avoidance probs lol), so I just started ordering mocktails or having soft drinks instead. It felt easier than constantly negotiating with myself (and others) about whether I should drink or not. At some point I realised I hadn’t had a proper drink since August last year!! My mood is more stable, my brain feels clearer and I don’t get those intense post drinking dips that used to knock me for days/weeks. As someone with ADHD and autism, I think my nervous system just doesn’t love alcohol as much as society suggests it should, i’m a lil sensitive soul and I need to have super specific conditions in place for me to feel okay drinking. To keep it 100% real the difficult part is that you definitely feel the social difference. Alcohol lowers inhibition for everyone in the room, so when you are not drinking you are naturally just more aware of the dynamic. Sometimes that’s empowering, sometimes it is just a bit isolating, but I’ve found I am now v particular about which social settings I put myself in to cope with this. I am not anti alcohol and I will still have the occasional drink if I genuinely want one, but I’m just super mindful about the effects on myself and I’m very careful with it! #adhd #autism #alcohol #audhd #drinking
