I am the "Neuro-Outlander". By day, I work as a Business Process Analyst; by night, I document my journey through the Instagram page Neuro Dad’s Diary. I’m no medical expert. As the only neurodivergent person in a household of five (four counting our dog Lola!), I navigate the complexities of leading a neurotypical family while fundamentally rewriting my own "operating system."
The only neurodivergent person in a house of five (if you include the dog...!), navigating the complexities of leading a neurotypical family while fundamentally rewriting my own "operating system." One year after the loss of my Mum to Stage 4 cancer, I received an ADHD diagnosis, an event that reframed my past and reshaped my future. This dual journey of navigating terminal illness, sensory grief, and late-life self-discovery has moved me away from the "standard dad" toward a parenting style defined by radical authenticity and honesty.
