"Since deep diving into neurodivergence myself I have found it nothing short of life changing; I feel seen, heard, have grown in self confidence and have been left with an unrelenting passion to help support those who are exploring all types of neurodivergence, both for themselves and those around them."

"After reading a book referring to how ADHD presents in women, I did some research and found I identified with everything I read. This new understanding of myself has led to a huge shift in my outlook on life, confidence and sense of belonging. It has also lead me back to practicing as an Occupational therapist and qualifying as and executive function and health and wellbeing Coach specialising in ADHD and Autism."

​"I first heard the term neurodiversity in 2021 and quickly realized I likely had ADHD. After two assessments (and a lot of waiting) I was diagnosed as AuDHD. The years following have been both validating and challenging, but I’m growing more confident and authentic each day - no longer masking or forcing myself into boxes that don’t fit. A big part of this journey has been The Umbrella Hub. From my first meetup I felt seen and understood like never before. I'm proud to be the Lead for our Bloom Community Group, and look forward to meeting likeminded people through these sessions."

"After receiving an ADHD diagnosis in 2024 following a lifetime of mental health struggles, I was yearning for a community where I felt understood and validated as a neurodivergent person. That’s when I found the Umbrella Hub. After attending their meet-ups, I quickly realised I’d found a supportive community that made me feel less alone. I’m passionate about creating an inclusive, supportive, and validating space. Outside of this, I’m a trainee counsellor, avid baker, proud cat mum, and nature lover."

"After receiving a diagnosis of Dyspraxia in 2024, I felt compelled to connect with other neurodivergent people who understood the experience. Discovering the Umbrella Hub has been quite life-changing for me. It's been amazing to meet women who think like me! Through the group, I have continued to explore and better understand my neurodivergence. I’ve also made supportive friendships and become passionate about making the journey easier for other women. I’m proud to be Social Media Lead, and seeing this community grow brings me a lot of joy."
