This list has a whole range of things that are both useful and fun for the neurodivergent person (and frankly anyone else who can get their hands on them). It's a real mix of things for the grown ups as well as for the children. Go on, treat yourself, because sometimes we are all just big kids and we just want what we want and that's perfectly ok 🕺🙌

One of the MOST frustrating things for neurodivergent people is harsh lighting. We absolutely need to have lighting that can be adjusted (either by lighting options being smart light compatible or having lighting controls) so that our senses are not overwhelmed and anxiety is kept low. This list has all the adjustable lighting that I've either used personally or a number of those from the neurodivergent community have highly recommended.

This is a super friendly list of all things that you're going to find wonderfully touchable and user-friendly around the home. I make sure that there are no items on this list that are known to be stressful for many in the neurodivergent community (like wool, heavy jean fabric, silky nylon, tweed, jute etc.) or items that are not super easy to use. Instead, I find comfy furniture that is also good for posture (I'm quite keen on getting good ergonomics into offices and homes!), usable home stuff, and snuggly fabrics that will bring you mental peace, cosy relaxation, comfort, and joy ♾️

Being a neurodivergent child can be EXTRA hard - it's so difficult to find the words to explain what's causing stress or to know what's wanted and needed. I am taking the guesswork out of it for you and suggesting items to help reduce unnecessary or unwanted mental processing and provide relief for little minds. In here you will find a range of things that are focused on creating sensory underload for neurodivergent (ADHD/autism/dyslexic/dyspraxic/dysgraphic/dyscalculic/OCD) children. I genuinely do not believe we should ever ‘grow up’, so anything you find in here is also great for anyone of any age (as well as pet-friendly). Be kind to your mind and surround yourself with wonderfully neurodivergent-friendly items to create the mental peace, cosy relaxation, comfort, and gentle fun that we all deserve 🪁🫶

You might be surprised by what you find on this list! A lot of pets are irritated and pleased by the same things that a lof of neurodivergent people are - this is because, generally, both are much more sensitive to their environment. So, if you have pets, surrounding yourself with neurodivergent-friendly things is not only great for you, but your furballs will love you for it, too. In this list, you will find a mix of things that are particularly good for both humans and your adorable floof 🐰

This is a wide range of things you can gift to yourself or to anyone else! - it doesn't matter if the person receiving the gift is neurodivergent or whether you are - because these items have been selected to be neuroinclusive (great for everyone), absolutely everyone will appreciate them.

This is a super friendly list of all things that you're going to find wonderfully user-friendly in the kitchen. I make sure that there are no items on this list that are known to be stressful for many in the neurodivergent community (like wool, heavy jean fabric, silky nylon, tweed, jute etc.) or items that are not super easy to use. Instead, I recommend usable home stuff, and snuggly fabrics that will bring you mental peace, cosy relaxation, comfort, and joy ♾️🌈🫶

Fabulously neurodivergent-friendly (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, OCD) fabric items that everyone will love ♾🌈🫶

Surrounding yourself with biomorphic art and gloriously purifying plants is going to be a massive help to neurodivergent people (but it applies to anyone!) as having art with gently swirly lines or with calming natural colours, and soft green-leaved plants to rest the eyes and clear the air, will mean your environment will be so much easier to process. This list has a range of art and plants, most of which can be found in my own home 😌

This list is for anyone who is neurodivergent and looking for helpful learning and tools, or for anyone who wants to learn more about neurodivergence and neurodiversity. It's a mix of books, applications, software, and services that are neurodivergent-friendly.

You will find here a fabulous mix of cool technology, ergonomic wizardy, and endless delightful stationery that you can use to reduce your sensory-overload and improve your mental and physical wellbeing.

There are a huge range of items that anyone (whether neurodivergent or not) can use to help to declutter and organise your physical and mental spaces, as well as items to help you to plan to help with making sure you do what you set out to do. It's time to take back control of your life 🙌
