A Guide to Navigating School Pick-Ups for ADHD Mums

If the thought of navigating school pick-up makes you want to fake a dentist appointment or hide behind your sunglasses, you’re not alone – and this guide is for you.

Written by a neurodivergent mum who’s been there (and avoided there entirely), this 75-page guide tackles the unique challenges ADHD mums face in playground socialising. From the unspoken social rules that everyone else seems to know to the overwhelming sensory chaos of pick-up lines and school events, Navigating School Pick-Up is here to help you navigate it all with strategies that actually work for you.

This isn’t about forcing yourself to fit into neurotypical expectations – it’s about finding tools that let you show up authentically, build meaningful connections, and reduce the stress that comes with school pick-up.

  • Parents who struggle with small talk, remembering names, or navigating group conversations.
  • Mums looking to support their child’s social confidence while staying true to themselves.

Inside This Guide, You’ll Discover:

  • How to Handle Tricky Situations: Scripts and strategies for moments like forgetting a name, navigating unsolicited parenting advice, or knowing when (and how) to exit a conversation gracefully.
  • Connection Tips That Feel Authentic: Learn how to connect with other neurodivergent mums who “get it” and bridge the gap with neurotypical parents – all without masking or compromising who you are.
  • Insights Into Neurotypical Communication: Decode the hidden cues and rituals of neurotypical socialising, and find ways to navigate these dynamics without feeling drained.
  • Relatable, Real-Life Stories: Laugh, cringe, and nod along with moments you’ll recognise, like forgetting names, waving at the wrong mum, or overcommitting in a caffeine-fuelled burst of enthusiasm.
  • Practical Strategies for Social Anxiety: Tools for reducing sensory overload, managing rejection sensitivity, and figuring out the balance between engagement and self-preservation.

Whether you’re dealing with social anxiety, navigating neurotypical norms, or just trying to survive the chaos of pick-up, this guide is here to help. Grab your copy today, and start showing up in a way that works for you – awkward moments, forgotten names, and all.
