We can't stress this enough; this isn't a self-help book.
Nor is it a bookmaking any bold sociopolitical claims other than this one; Neurodivergent people are a community of real human beings with many shared experiences and as such we have a right to celebrate those experiences with silly stories about pet tortoises, one night stands, and showing the doctor your bumhole. We hope that by showing you the funny parts of our differently wired brains, we can encourage you to be yourself and most importantly laugh. Don't worry, you're in the company of people who 'get it'.
Hilarious stories about the moments in your life which are different, difficult, or more exciting when you have a differently wired brain.

RELEASED 15 JULY 2026.
She thought she knew her family. One photograph proves she has been living a lie. Joanne has always believed her mother died giving birth to her.
It’s a painful truth, but one she’s accepted. Then, whilst sorting through old baby clothes, she finds a photograph tucked away in a box—her birth mother, smiling and very much alive, cradling a newborn in her arms. As Joanne starts searching, the answers she gets only lead to more questions.
Her journey takes her to Rose Cottage, where her mother once lived, and into a past filled with long-hidden secrets. Can she find out what really happened? What could be so terrible that her father has kept it from her for her whole life—and is she ready for the truth?
