Becoming Me, Neurodivergently, a memoir by Niki Bonfield — Becoming Me, Neurodivergently

Fragmented Yet Whole

Embracing neurodivergence, healing and self-discovery

Life isn't meant to be easy.

This poetic and reflective memoir traces the journey of a woman who spent much of her life feeling different, overwhelmed and unseen, until a late autism diagnosis reframed everything. Through raw recollections, quiet reckonings and deeply human moments, Niki invites readers into the rich, complex inner world she once tried to hide.

Hi, I'm Niki.

I spent a lifetime trying to fit in. Now I'm learning how to belong to myself.

I found out I was neurodivergent late, and it reframed everything that came before it. I wrote the books I needed to read. Alongside the writing I work as a counsellor and art therapist in Stirling, and I paint.
