About Amanda

About the Author:

At the age of forty-two, I received an Autism and ADHD diagnosis, which profoundly changed my life. Over the years, I’ve immersed myself in various passions, from mastering the art of amigurumi and horseback riding to exploring the culinary world, becoming a YouTuber where I talk about disability advocacy and lived neurodivergence, and now, embarking on the journey of writing my first novel.

In the process of unmasking my Autistic traits and discovering the woman behind the mask my brain created, I’ve gained invaluable insights into who I am. Recently, I also embraced my identity as a bisexual demisexual and am eager to connect with and contribute to the vibrant queer community.

Transitioning from someone who felt lost and out of place to finding a true sense of belonging within the neurodivergent and queer communities has been a transformative experience. Through my writing and various creative endeavors, I hope to share my journey and inspire others to embrace their authentic selves.
