Brain Hacks & Survival Maps for the ADULT Neurodivergent Mind

A practical, empowering toolkit for ADULTS with ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent brains.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why is the world not built for how my brain works?”—this guide is for you.

This isn't another generic self-help book filled with fluffy advice or unrealistic routines. This is a tactical, honest, and radically helpful playbook created specifically for neurodivergent adults navigating a world that often misunderstands or overwhelms them.

You’ll find clear, judgment-free strategies for everyday challenges like:

  • Communicating your needs without anxiety or overthinking

  • Managing masking and recovering from burnout

  • Regulating your nervous system with tools that actually work

  • Getting started (and finishing) tasks when executive dysfunction hits

  • Making boring or repetitive tasks more tolerable—even fun

  • Advocating for yourself at work without oversharing or burning out

  • Naming, feeling, and recovering from emotional overwhelm

  • Designing a life, space, and schedule that truly supports your brain

What’s inside:

✔️ Real-life scripts for boundary-setting, advocacy, and emotional regulation.
✔️ Printable tools: burnout trackers, task breakdown sheets, energy budget planners.
✔️ Flexible routines that don’t fall apart on “off” days.
✔️ A whole chapter on how to stop trying to live like a neurotypical—and start thriving on your terms.
✔️ Techniques for body-based regulation (no meditation apps required).
✔️ Encouragement without toxic positivity.

Whether you're formally diagnosed or self-identified, newly navigating your neurodivergence or years into the journey, this guide meets you where you are—with practical help, not perfectionism.

This guide is for you if:

  • You’re exhausted by masking, people-pleasing, or always feeling “behind”

  • You crave systems that work for your actual brain, not someone else’s idea of productivity

  • You’re tired of advice that doesn’t account for sensory needs, executive dysfunction, or burnout

  • You want permission—and practical steps—to build a sustainable, fulfilling life

If you want something that respects your experience and gives you real tools to cope, recover, and thrive, Brain Hacks & Survival Maps is more than a guide—it’s your survival kit.  77 Pages.

Every page felt like it was written for my brain. No condescending advice, no pressure to be ‘better.’ Just smart, compassionate tools that actually help me get through the day. I’ve started using the burnout tracker and energy planner every week.
