About No Heels, No Problem: A Neurodivergent Survival Guide with Maxine Roper

If you want to understand what dyspraxia or ADHD means to you as an adult, and a woman, this book is for you.

It will support you in every part of your neurodiversity journey and help you understand what dyspraxia and ADHD mean to you as a woman, in your relationship with others, yourself and even your body.

Sometimes uplifting and humorous and at other times unflinchingly honest about life's rock bottoms, think of reading this book as having a coffee with someone who's seen the best and worst of life and is ready to cheer you on when you're doing great and be there for you when you fall.
