This is my first post, so I thought I’d introduce myself even though there’s already an about me section.

My name is Clarissa. I am ADHD which affects me in a lot of ways. I will be sharing a lot about my struggles as a homemaker and mom who has ADHD. I may also be Autistic, but I am not diagnosed and don’t currently plan to go through that process because of how expensive it can be, but bear in mind it may play a part in my struggles. The world is made for Neurotypicals, not people like me (and you, if you are also not neurotypical). For me, it’s an everyday struggle trying to live in a world not made to be accessible for me.
I will be sharing my journey to making my home a place of peace and comfort. A place I can be myself and not worry about being like everyone else. A place that works with my brain rather than against my brain. But also, a place where my children can be children and play and explore the world around them, and a place our family and friends can feel comfortable visiting.
As such, I will be sharing my experiences as I declutter, re-organize, and decorate my home. I will also share my struggles with life and being a mom.
So, if any of that sounds interesting, definitely follow me here, on Facebook, and on Instagram.
Much love and admiration,
Clarissa, the Neurodivergent Homemaker
I have ADHD, no hyperactivity, though, never had. But my home contains a neurodivergent family. I love not being “normal”.

Nice to meet you! I didn’t used to be physically hyperactive, but lately it’s gotten bad. 😅 It’s definitely an experience being a neurodivergent family, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. My siblings and I had a saying growing up: “weird is good, normal is bad” 😂. Not sure I believe the normal is bad part anymore, but I definitely still enjoy being different, even when it’s hard!
