Recognising the Signs

Is It ADHD, Autism, or Both? Here’s Where to Start

You’re noticing the signs – maybe it’s the constant overwhelm, the exhaustion from holding it all together, or the overthinking that never seems to switch off. Maybe it’s the moments with your child that drain you: the intense meltdowns, the endless energy, or the sensory overload that pushes both of you to breaking point. Or perhaps it’s the quieter struggles – withdrawal, shutdowns, or masking that’s become second nature without you even realising it.

You’ve done the research, read the lists, seen the memes, and maybe even tried to explain it to a professional – only to be told to “wait and see” or feel dismissed altogether.

So where do you go from here?

That’s why this page exists. To help you cut through the noise and find clarity, whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just done. Here, you’ll find tools to:

✔️ Recognise the signs of ADHD and Autism that actually matter (because it doesn’t always look like what you’ve been told).
✔️ Understand how these neurotypes show up in daily life – whether it’s the loud, chaotic moments or the silent struggles no one else seems to notice.
✔️ Figure out what’s next – whether that’s self-identifying, preparing for an assessment, or just finding ways to make life feel less overwhelming today.

I know how heavy this can feel. The constant second-guessing, the mental load, the fear of missing something important. You’re not imagining it. You’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.

Let’s get you the clarity and support you deserve – and lighten the load you’ve been carrying for too long.

PMS and ADHD

Some days, you’re smashing through tasks, feeling like maybe – just maybe – you’ve finally got things under control. Then suddenly, it’s like your brain short-circuits. You’re overwhelmed, irritable, scattered, and everything feels too much.

If your ADHD traits feel unpredictable, if you find yourself snapping at people or struggling to make basic decisions, your cycle might be running the show without you realising it.

This free guide (PMS and ADHD: Making Sense of the Chaos) helps you:

✔️ Recognise the exact points in your cycle where your ADHD traits intensify – so it doesn’t take you by surprise.
✔️ Plan ahead so you can give yourself the space and support you actually need (instead of beating yourself up for ‘not coping’).
✔️ Use simple, practical strategies that actually work for an ADHD brain – because willpower isn’t the problem, and pushing through isn’t the answer.

Hormonal shifts impact focus, mood, energy, and overwhelm – but when you understand when and why it happens, you can stop feeling blindsided and start working with your body, not against it.

Is It More Than PMS? Understanding PMDD

It’s not just a bad mood or a rough few days – it feels like you’re coming undone. You’re irritable, overstimulated, and emotionally drained, and no amount of logic makes it better. One day, you’re snapping over small things; the next, you’re questioning everything.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why does this feel so much worse than PMS?”- you’re not imagining it. PMDD is something else entirely, and for ADHD mums, it can turn hard days into something unbearable.

This free guide (Is It More Than PMS? Understanding PMDD) helps you:

✔️ Recognise the difference between PMS and PMDD – so you stop second-guessing yourself.
✔️ Understand why ADHD mums are hit harder and how it messes with focus, emotions, and executive function.
✔️ Find practical ways to manage the worst days – so it doesn’t feel like your life is spiralling every month.

PMDD can make you feel out of control – but when you see it coming and know what to do, you can start making life easier on yourself.

Are You Filling Your Child’s Cup or Just Spilling It Everywhere?

Ever spent an hour playing LEGO with your kid, only for them to ask, “But can we actually hang out now?” Turns out, you can be pouring love into them all day long, but if it’s not in the way that actually lands for them, it’s like trying to fill a cup with a hole in the bottom.

This free guide (Love Languages for Kids) helps you:

✔️ Understand how your child experiences love best – so your efforts actually land the way you intend.
✔️ Recognise why some things you do aren’t “filling their cup” – so you can tweak your approach without doing more.
✔️ Find easy, everyday ways to connect that actually work – so you see more affection, fewer meltdowns, and a stronger bond.

When you know what really matters to them, it’s easier to connect in ways that feel good for both of you – without second-guessing or overcomplicating it.

You’ve seen the patterns – the struggles with focus, the big emotions, the exhaustion from masking all day. You’ve done the research, asked the questions, and now you’re wondering: Is this ADHD?
