Hey there, I’m Christie!

Professional coffee drinker, sensory detective, and your new favorite advocate for all things neurodiverse.

I’m a proud neurodivergent parent raising some incredibly extra kiddos—emphasis on the awesome.

Like you, I’ve ridden the sensory rollercoaster, dabbled in expert-level meltdown negotiations, and conquered the art of advocating when the system just doesn’t get it. It’s messy, it’s beautiful, and some days, it’s a lot.

But here’s the thing: you’re not on this ride alone.

This corner of the internet? It’s your judgment-free zone for the highs, the overstimulating lows, the laughs, and yes, even the "Did that really just happen?" moments.

Through empowering resources, advocacy tips, and some good ol’ real talk, I’m here to help you embrace neurodiversity, celebrate the stims, and find the smiles—even on the hard days.

So grab your favorite snack (yes, even if it’s Goldfish at 9 a.m.), take a deep breath, and stick around. We’ve got a lot of magic—and a little chaos—to share.

Let’s make this journey a little less lonely and a whole lot more joyful.
