Free!! “Are you twice-exceptional?” self-exploration guide

Often after our children are diagnosed, we start to wonder: "Wait, is this me too?"

That's what happened to me. When I was writing my son Sam's story, I realised that he was both gifted and neurodivergent. And then it dawned on me: maybe I am too. The more I explored, the more this made sense.

You know you're a capable person. But you've been carrying these beliefs for decades:

  • "I'm just not trying hard enough" (whilst exhausting yourself trying)

  • "I'm too sensitive" (whilst others dismiss your genuine pain)

  • "I'm so disorganised" (whilst systems punish the way your brain works)

  • "I'm good at learning but terrible at life" (and you can't understand why)

Then your child gets diagnosed with ADHD or autism, and suddenly things start clicking into place about your childhood. Your school struggles. Your work patterns. Your social exhaustion.

And you were also "gifted"—which masked everything. Or maybe not assigned as gifted but academically very able. Too clever for anyone to notice you were struggling. Too successful for anyone to take your difficulties seriously.

This is twice-exceptionality: being both gifted and neurodivergent. And it's often missed until adulthood.

I have made a free resource for you.

I created this guide because I wish someone had given it to me decades ago

This 16-page self-discovery guide will help you:

✓ Understand why you can hyperfocus for hours but can't focus for five minutes on required tasks

✓ Make sense of being called both "brilliant" and "lazy" by the same people

✓ Stop feeling broken because you're capable of complex thinking but can't manage basic daily tasks

✓ See why school was traumatic (and why it wasn't your fault)

✓ Make sense of multipotentiality and career struggles (why you can't choose "just one thing")

✓ Stop carrying decades of shame

Plus: Reflection questions to help you see yourself more clearly.

This isn't a diagnosis. But it might be the beginning of finally understanding yourself.

The problem was never you
