I am Elis, and my journey as a mother in neurodiversity revealed early on the complexity and beauty of my child's mind. My education and professional experience in England, as a Master in Mental Health and Emotional Well-being, could never prepare me for this extraordinary journey, which is Neurodiversity in motherhood. My qualifications and professional expertise in mental health, emotional well-being, and neuroscience helped me identify traits of neurodiversity very early in my child's life. Still, I had a difficult journey to obtain an accurate diagnosis.

Even as a professional with extensive experience in mental health, I had to study various neurodevelopmental conditions extensively better to understand my child's unique difficulties and needs. Today, with a precise diagnosis and a deep practical and theoretical understanding of my child's brain functioning, I feel more prepared to offer the appropriate support to him, the school, and the therapeutic team that accompanies him.

A big hug, Elis
