Welcome to Happy-ish!
Welcome to Happy-ish, my blog where I talk directly to neurodiverse adults, young adults, and parents of neurodiverse kiddos. Whether you’re in your 30s or 40s navigating ADHD or autism, a young adult figuring out anxiety, or a parent supporting your child’s unique journey, this space is for you. I created Happy-ish to offer practical advice, personal stories, and a bit of humor—because mental health doesn’t always have to feel heavy. Let’s explore the ups and downs together, with honesty, support, and a focus on real-life solutions.
