I’m Selina Thomson — late-diagnosed, ADHD-fueled, and no longer toning it down. Divergent AF is all about oversharing unfiltered life experiences — the chaos, the clarity, and the contradictions of living neurodivergent. We’re cracking open the stuff we usually keep locked in our heads and saying it out loud. No fluff, no filter — just quick wit, real talk, and unapologetic authenticity. You are not too much, the others are not enough.
In this final episode for the year, I discuss the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals during the holiday season. I reflect on my past experiences with Christmas, the overwhelming sensory input, the struggle of being late to events, and the pressure to conform to social expectations. I then offer some coping strategies and emphasise the importance of self-care during this chaotic time.

#29 I'm Not Stupid , I Just Misread Literally Everything
In this episode, I’m diving into the very real (and often exhausting) struggles of being neurodivergent, especially when it comes to reading and processing information. From school emails to appointment times to following a recipe, I share the everyday mix-ups that happen not because I’m “stupid,” but because my brain is wired differently. I also talk about the power of clearer communication, a bit of self-compassion, and why understanding our own wiring can make life feel a whole lot easier.

I share personal anecdotes and a message from an old friend that highlights some of these struggles and misunderstandings. The episode emphasises the importance of acceptance and surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals to navigate the complexities of ADHD, especially during stressful times like the holiday season.
