I’m Shamiha, and I am a neurodivergent freelance writer. I have been writing on Medium since December 2022 and write about Neurodiversity. I have been featured on YourTango, ThinkingAutism and other online publications.

Here are six things about me:

☑️ I’m a 10x Top Writer 🏆 across six categories: Advice, Diversity, Inspiration, Ideas, Health, Mental Health, Life Lessons, Parenting, Psychology, and This Happened To Me.

✔ I was late diagnosed with Autism and ADHD at 27. I also have a bunch of other chronic illnesses that have taught me life’s cruel and beautiful lessons.

✔ I’ve been obsessed with reading and writing since I was 4. I first started writing short stories on high school musical fan fiction! (Cringe, but legendary?)

✔ I have a degree in Psychology and a Master's in Social Work to write about neurodiversity, mental health, and abuse from an educated and professional perspective.

✔ I currently work in Transport and Environmental Policy, but have worked in Government Policy, Homelessness, and Health.

✔ I live in the UK with my husband, daughter, and Siberian cat 🐱

I tend to write about:

- Autism & ADHD

- Writing on Medium

- Mental Health

- Trauma and Boundaries

- Parenting
