Hi, I’m Selina! I am a walking contradiction. I prefer to blend into the crowd but can’t resist rocking the boat, I am a novelty addict but also depend on predictability, and despite my social anxiety my curiosity gets me out and about. It’s the eternal Autism vs ADHD vs PDA conundrum.

To add to the contradictions, I am both an engineer and a social worker, but now work as neither. Instead I (alongside my husband) homeschool our ND kids and work on (and sometimes even finish) an assortment of projects and interests.

Like many others, I received my diagnoses late it life and they changed everything. Things started to make sense. After years of aimless searching it was like finally being handed some decent directions. The journey that followed was hard (really really hard) but full of revelations and it fundamentally shifted the way I parent, work, relate to others and myself. I began to make progress with finding my way out of the same old cycles and patterns I had been stuck in all my life. I am still on that journey.

Self-knowledge paired with self-compassion is an unstoppable force. It doesn’t just show us deeper truths, it gives us the capacity to be able to deal with it too!

Neurocraft has been many things. Up until 2024, I had the privilege of working therapeutically 1:1 with incredible neurodivergent kids and parents, using my professional knowledge and lived experience to support the ND community. Unfortunately, due to a number of personal and systemic factors and after a lot of reflection, I made the difficult decision to wind down this service.

Neurocraft is now a personal blog and online space to explore what it means to live a good life as a neurodivergent person and to experiment with doing things differently.

I hope you’ll find something useful here for your own journey!
