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.
From childhood confusion to a therapy experience that fractured trust, from mental health struggles to finding her voice as a therapist, this is a story of what it means to come home to yourself, slowly and painfully, but with grace. Writing became part of healing. So did the truth.
For those who feel too much, question too often, and wonder if they’re the only ones— this book is for you. You’re not alone. You’re not broken. And healing is still possible.
Becoming me Neurodivergently
A Memoir of Unmasking, Belonging and Becoming

I spent a lifetime trying to fit in; now I’m learning how to belong to myself. What does it mean to become yourself when the world has only ever known your mask?
In Becoming Me, Neurodivergently, the follow‑up to
Fragmented Yet Whole, the author returns with a raw, honest, and deeply human memoir about growing up misunderstood, surviving systems that weren’t built for her, and slowly learning to trust her own voice.
Through stories of childhood masking, therapy ruptures, sensory overwhelm, motherhood, advocacy, and the quiet work of healing, she explores what it means to belong — not by fitting in, but by finally allowing herself to exist as she is.
This is a book about neurodivergence, yes, but also about courage, identity, and the messy, beautiful process of becoming. It’s a reminder that belonging shouldn’t be earned through silence, that authenticity is a practice, and that the future can be different for the generations who come next.
Tender, vulnerable, and fiercely hopeful, Becoming Me, Neurodivergently is an invitation to anyone who has ever felt out of place: you are not alone, and you were never the problem.
