The Mindful Neurodivergent

About

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a school psychologist—and I also have ADHD. This space was born out of both my professional experienceand personal journey navigating life, learning, and emotions through a neurodivergent lens.

Whether you’re a parent, educator, or a neurodivergent teen or adult yourself, this blog is here to help you understand the brain a little better—and feel less alone while doing it.

I started this blog because I saw a gap between what people should know about neurodivergent minds—and what’s actually being talked about. I wanted to create a place where:

  • Neurodivergent kids and adults feel seen and empowered
  • Parents and educators feel informed and hopeful
  • And compassion meets science in a way that feels human, not clinical

This is more than a blog—it’s the foundation of a growing community, where learning differences are honored, not pathologized.

● About Me

Hi, I’m Pam—a school psychologist in Southern California with a passion for supporting neurodivergent minds. I’ve worked in public schools for the past four years, helping students and families navigate learning, emotions, and self-understanding. I was diagnosed with ADHD later in life, which deeply reshaped how I view my work, myself, and the unique ways our brains function. This space is where I bring together my experience, insight, and heart to support others who are wired differently. I’m so glad you’re here.
