Every family has its own unique tapestry of experiences, but for Rachel Winder, the threads of her life weaved a particularly intricate pattern.

As an autistic mother raising an autistic child, she faces the world with a perspective that's as enlightening as it is challenging.
Step into Rachel's shoes for a moment and you'll begin to understand the depth of neurodiversity's impact on identity, advocacy, and the unbreakable bond she shares with her son.
Together, we navigate the complex journey of late diagnosis and the battle for recognition and support within a medical community often riddled with misconceptions.

The path to educational support for neurodivergent children can be a labyrinth of emotional and legal battles, but Rachel's resilience shines a beacon of hope for families navigating similar terrain.

Her candid account sheds light on the transformation that occurs when a neurodivergent child finds a supportive community, and the importance of tailoring that support to the individual.
We celebrate the remarkable transformation within the family dynamics and discover how every member, with their distinct neurodivergent traits, contributes to a richer, more harmonious home life.

Adolescence is an odyssey for any individual, and for those with ADHD and autism, it can be akin to navigating an entirely different dimension.

Rachel opens up about the tools she and her son employ to manage their daily experiences, from humor to pattern recognition, offering a glimpse into the intricate dance of cognitive empathy and social cues.
We traverse the landscape of therapeutic pathways that support the neurodiverse community and grapple with the ongoing pursuit of parenting, self-discovery, and the quest for inner peace.
Rachel's story is a vivid affirmation of the autistic experience, illuminating the spectrum of diversity that enriches our world.
