How we can support you
Which of these resonates with you?
I need strategies that work for my brain!
Tried & tested frameworks designed for neurodivergent adults.
- You’ve received your assessment — or very strongly suspect you are neurodivergent.
- You’ve tried all the popular things and they don’t work. (Because they are made for neurotypical people.)
- You want solutions. But you’re overwhelmed. And for the love of God, no more productivity advice!
Make my company neurodivergent-friendly!
Best practices & insights for companies – boosting clarity and employee wellbeing to make work more efficient and less stressful for everyone
- You know you have neurodivergent employees, colleagues, or teams. (And you’re right, 20% of them should be. In certain industries, even more.)
- What you don’t know is what to say, what to do, how to help, how to solve problems and conflicts, and how to be respectful while maintaining a work environment
- You’re done with reheated 80’s consulting advice sprinkled with corpo jargon and with an ADHD sticker slapped on the side. You want something that’s real.
I am very new to this & overwhelmed
Guidance and support for folks who need explanations.
Are you just beginning your neurodivergent journey? You’re still in your curiosity-phase, collecting knowledge, you may be waiting for an assessment but you’re definitely full of questions. We’re here to help!
This is so confusing, where’s the panic button?!
“Aah, so many options, I don’t know which one of these I am!“
Don’t worry. This is all very complicated.
Being confused and overwhelmed is completely normal.
That’s why we have our affordably priced Curiosity Calls.
45 minutes, ask anything you like.
We created it for people like you, and maintain the low price through the generosity of our clients.
Book a call and get clarity.
I am a one-person show and need support!
Support & systems for freelancers, solopreneurs, micro & small business owners
- Why are all the other businesses thriving, and you feel like you’re wading through a swamp every day?
- You knew it wouldn’t be easy, but surely it can’t be this hard… right?
- Most business advice is useless for neurodivergent small-business owners, especially the ones around productivity, time management and creativity.
- It is not your personal failing that these didn’t work for you! We are passionate about helping ND entrepreneurs create systems that actually help them.
I’m a healthcare professional looking to refer or commission
Weirdly Successful provides specialist peer support for neurodivergent adults, delivered by a 100% neurodivergent team with lived experience of ADHD, Autism, OCD, and sensory processing differences.
We complement NHS services by offering:
- Support during the diagnostic pathway for adults awaiting ADHD or Autism assessment
- Needs-based support for people with neurodivergent traits, irrespective of diagnosis
- Post-assessment guidance helping people build knowledge, skills, and confidence in self-management
- Support for co-occurring conditions, including anxiety, OCD, PMDD, and sensory sensitivities
Our approach aligns with NHS personalised care principles. We focus on what matters to the individual, working collaboratively to co-produce practical strategies that build on their strengths and address their needs.
We provide a space for validation and sense-making alongside practical support – helping people process the emotional impact of their neurodivergent experiences, including grief, life review after diagnosis, and internalised beliefs about themselves.
We work with adults across a range of circumstances, including those from LGBTQ+, minority, and immigrant backgrounds, and English as a Second Language speakers.
How to signpost patients to us: Patients can book directly via our website. We begin with a 40-minute Curiosity Call to ensure we’re the right fit before any further sessions.
Questions about our services?
The science is in: we’re not going anywhere
Here’s the thing.
The past 30 years saw massive changes in the understanding of neurodivergence. This is all thanks to the breakthrough work of researchers, health professionals, educators, disability activists and neurodivergent adults representing our lived experience.
The result is a shift from a “mental disorders with symptoms” model to conditions and neurotypes with overlapping groups of individual traits (we like to call it The Big Neurodivergent Buffet Table).
And with 100+ traits interacting based on genetics, plus environment, age and various other stuff, that’s why all those one-size-fits-all “solutions” don’t work for most neurodivergent people.
Real support is based on each person’s individual needs. And that changes lives.
The snag? The big systems are catching up slowly.
So huge swathes of adults go undiagnosed, especially women and marginalised groups. Misinformation and stigma are rampant. And lots of support systems don’t work or actively hurt neurodivergent people.
The data’s clear: we’re here, and there’s way more of us than anyone ever thought. This world we live in wasn’t made with us in mind, and changing that will take time — but we can make it easier for ourselves in the meantime.
There’s no point waiting another generation for things to get better on their own.
We set up Weirdly Successful to see how far we can go. Let’s find out together, hey?
Meet the weirdos!

Livia Farkas
Learning Community Architect & Content Strategist
Livia is the architect behind Weirdly Successful’s knowledge systems—creating the infrastructure that helps late-identified neurodivergent adults make sense of their experiences and find language for what they’ve always felt.
She created The Neurodivergent Glossary, an ever-growing encyclopaedia of neurodivergence-related terms, designed to help people find answers using everyday words for their experiences—not medical jargon they haven’t yet learned.
Currently, Livia is building the Weirdly Successful Learning Community—a custom-built peer support platform designed from the ground up for neurodivergent brains. Every element, from the onboarding process to the reaction buttons, has been designed to balance ADHD and Autistic accessibility needs.
This systems-thinking approach builds on 15 years of developing adult education frameworks. Her Hungarian-language courses have reached over 5,300 learners, and she’s developed 294 distinct techniques for time management, goal setting, boundaries, and self-care—all now being adapted for English-speaking neurodivergent audiences.
Specialist subjects: neurodivergent adaptations for life and work, dismantling harmful self-beliefs, promoting self-compassion, and creating a hustle-free life

How we can help
We have a blog, like in the old days!
Strategies, deep dives, experiences and explainers dedicated to helping you understand, navigate and enjoy your weird & wonderful neurodivergent life.
Neurodivergent Glossary
Learning about the world of neurodivergence can quickly get overwhelming. Trust us, we’ve been there.
Lovingly created to be an approachable mix of the latest research and decades of lived experience, the Neurodivergent Glossary is Weirdly Successful’s treasure trove of terms for all things neurodivergence.
Originally a quick reference guide for terms across our website, it’s now growing into a full-on illustrated encyclopaedia of neurodivergence-related definitions, lived experience examples, analysis and other extras to help clarity, understanding, and making sense of your traits in a neurodivergent context.
Recently updated terms
response inhibition
Response inhibition is our brain’s ‘hey, are we sure about this?’ button – the ability to pause or stop actions, thoughts, or emotional reactions already in motion. For neurodivergent folks, especially those with ADHD, this system often works differently, leading to quicker decisions and more spontaneous actions.
night terrors
Night terrors are episodes of intense fear during sleep that involve screaming, physical movement, and autonomic arousal (racing heart, rapid breathing, sweating). Unlike nightmares, they occur during non-REM sleep with no memory of the event afterwards.
Night terrors affect both children and adults, with higher prevalence in neurodivergent …
