Hello! How are you? How have you been?
I am good, and I’ve been—writing, editing, and rewriting this letter for so long that it’s embarrassing.
I haven’t published on this blog for three years, so I wanted to explain why I left and what happened during this time, in one post—and I just couldn’t.
“I have a thesis on neurodivergent existentialism to share, but I need to deliver it in one punch line.”
That sums up what I was trying to achieve.
Because everything needs to be short and funny.
A couple of months ago, inspiration arrived as I was watching Miss Congeniality.
You know that scene where Sandra Bullock walks out of the hangar, right after a full-blown makeover—chin up, confidence dialed to eleven, hair styled by the wind? And then, bang. That one.
I started cracking up and then I thought, “Oh my god! That’s exactly what happened! I’m gonna use this!”
On June 3rd, 2020, shortly after having been diagnosed with Adult ADHD—I opened this blog stepping into a new life as neurodivergent, like agent Heart.
“Watch out, world, here I come! Being ADHD is awesome—We’ve got a superpower!”
One, two, three, and—“Oops.”
Long story short, in 2016 I had started trying to fulfill my lifetime purpose: sharing my story of survival on my personal blog, “Laly.” But something felt off.
I needed answers I couldn’t find…
Something like, “That happened because of this reason: chapter closed. This part of me is in the books.” You know?
Then in 2019, when I was diagnosed with Adult ADHD, I felt that search had come to an end. I began learning neuroscience and feeling that having ADHD explained everything about my life—my struggles, quirky peculiarities, triumphs, and fuckups.
It moved me so much that I felt renewed, as if I had gotten the ultimate makeover. Hence, I closed “Laly” and launched “Neurodivergent”.
Chin up, confidence dialed to eleven.
However—the more I learned, the more the strappy heels felt loose.
ADHD was not that awesome…
Hyperfocus was not a superpower…
And “this” was explaining “everything” about my life? Who was I—A bunch of symptoms?
One, two, three years of blogging, and—oops.
In 2023 I realized that I had spent three years in denial. That I had been grieving my pre-diagnosis self…
And I needed to find my new voice. The new me.
So finally, and for once, I stopped.
But now I am back! Just in time to celebrate the 6th anniversary of “Neurodivergent.”
This time around though, I am not in high heels nor with a fan blowing my hair. These sneakers are just fine, and fans are way too noisy.
Throughout these past three years, I’ve experienced the truest and most profound makeover of my life.
And given that learning about my brain was game changing, I’ve decided to focus this blog on that: Learn to Learn ADHD.
Every month, I’ll be sharing with you the latest research on Adult ADHD; the studies that have been published the month before, and related ones from the year before.
You will truly get the latest.
And—given that studying with ADHD doesn’t come easy (to say the least), I’ll be sharing with you my very own method to do it, and lead you to become self-taught and create your own learning path.
If you think that’s crazy and that I should have stuck to creating courses on ADHD, I’d humbly suggest you to check your neurodiversity ID—for it might have expired.
You can do it.
We can do this!
We’ll take one step at a time, and with a few laughs.
Because—honestly, I don’t see another way to do this.
With that being said, check your laces please…
The hangar doors will fully open through June 8 -12, 2026.
See you then?
PS: Don’t worry. There won’t be any thesis on neurodivergent existentialism to read. 😉
