Are you a dyspraxic or ADHD woman, or do you think you might be? Does a lot of life advice for women feel like it's not quite meant for you? Were you told you'd grow out of dyspraxia or ADHD as a child, not grow into them as a woman?

If you want to understand what dyspraxia or ADHD means to you as an adult, and a woman, this book is for you. It will support you in every part of your neurodiversity journey and help you understand what dyspraxia and ADHD mean to you as a woman, in your relationship with others, yourself and even your body. It's the survival guide I wish I had growing up - so I have written it for you instead. Sometimes uplifting and humorous and at other times unflinchingly honest about life's rock bottoms, think of reading this book as having a coffee with someone who's seen the best and worst of life and is ready to cheer you on when you're doing great and be there for you when you fall.

Reviews for No Heels, No Problem: A Neurodivergent Survival Guide to Adult Life when you are Dyspraxic or ADHD

As one of the first adult women to be diagnosed with dyspraxia in the UK, this is the book I have been waiting a quarter of a century for! Drawing on personal experience, combined with extensive research, Maxine Roper offers us a brilliant, vital and compelling contribution to the much misunderstood and much misrepresented world of female neurodivergency. -- Dr Nicola Werenowska, multi award winning neurodivergent playwright and mentor
