            I never anticipated speaking publicly and often about #neurodiversity. Yet, finally being labeled "#ADHD" silenced all the other labels said about me.

            If you have pets, involving them can be fun too! I cook my dogs Christmas dinner every year and get them each a present, and if theyโll allow it I put them in a cute festive shirt or accessory for the day and take some photos.

            Another vote for making your own traditions and enjoying pressure-free space to yourself! Watch movies or play games you love, Christmas themed if you want but if not just anything that brings you joy. Also get yourself a treat to celebrate all youโve achieved, even if itโs just surviving the year.

            What a loss - John Marsdenโs books were absolutely formative to my adolescence and hugely influential for so many other Australian kids.
