Welcome to Autistically Sarah!
I’m Sarah, and I became a neurodiversity advocate in 2019 when I discovered I am autistic and then my ADHD the year after. I realised that many people aren’t aware of their neurodivergence until adulthood, while often struggling in a “normal” world without understanding why.
And that was where Autistically Sarah was born! It all started with me writing about my experiences of being unaware of my neurodivergence for over 20 years. Since then the blog has grown from strength to strength and I have expanded to writing about issues neurodivergent people face, alongside my own insights.
I am also the author of ‘Young, Autistic and ADHD: Moving into adulthood when you’re multiply-neurodivergent’.
