Not sure where to start with ADHD? That’s OK.
This page is your soft landing.
Rewriting Normal is for adults navigating ADHD (diagnosed or just wondering), parents raising neurodivergent kids, and anyone who’s tired of pretending to be “normal.”
Whether you’re burnt out, mid-diagnosis, or just quietly googling “why do I never finish anything?”—you’re in the right place.
What This Site Isn’t
This isn’t a place for shame, hustle, or toxic positivity.
You won’t find 4am morning routines or bullet journal perfection here.
You will find:
- Real stories from late-diagnosed ADHD life
- Small, doable strategies that don’t require a personality transplant
- Parenting insights that center nervous system safety, not control
- Tools built with ADHD brains in mind (not just neurotypical ones)

You’re Not Late
A lot of us come to this later than we “should.”
You’re not broken.
You’ve been adapting in a world that didn’t give you the right instruction manual.
So let’s start over. Gently. With honesty, humour, and low-stakes tabs open in the background. Figuring Out ADHD, One Step at a Time
ADHD doesn’t come with an instruction manual, and honestly, even the checklists don’t always match real life. This site doesn’t give you a formula—just a place to breathe, learn, and begin again.
