Hi, I’m Sam.

I’m an author and the founder of Neurodivergent, Not Broken, a growing body of work challenging social norms around shame and pathology.

Rooted in lived experience: my own ADHD, being married to my Autistic husband, raising neurodivergent kids, and years of caregiving for my disabled mother through complex mental health needs.

Navigating diagnosis, social services, and institutional barriers from multiple angles, alongside nearly two decades of relational practice, became the foundation for my book, 10 Things You Might Need To hear Today, and a new approach to what non-clinical care can look like.

I’m not a clinician, and I don’t diagnose or treat. What I offer is clear language and simple framework that helps people understand themselves and their families with more compassion.

You don’t need a diagnosis to belong here.

Here’s to the ones questioning, learning, unlearning, repairing, and growing, even when it’s messy.

I’m right there with you.
