When you’re a neurodivergent mom (ADHD, autistic, anxious), the postpartum experience can hit you like a bag of potatoes and too many of us are stumbling through it without even a warning, let alone support. Too often, a neurodivergent brain goes hand in hand with postpartum depression and anxiety.

SO WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT IT?

I was completely blindsided by my postpartum experience. I couldn’t grasp the idea that motherhood meant being constantly needed by someone every minute of every day for the rest of my life.

We live in the wealthiest country to ever exist on this planet, yet every day new parents are faced with an impossible choice: go back to work and sacrifice their physical and mental recovery, or stay home longer and risk financial instability. For millions of families across the United States of America, the lack of paid parental leave isn't just an economic issue; it is a legit mental health crisis.

Paid leave in the United States is a privilege, and if you're one of the lucky ones to live in a state that offers paid leave or work for a company that offers it, be grateful. At the time I’m writing this, only 12 states and Washington, D.C., have implemented paid parental leave programs.

The postpartum period is an insanely vulnerable time for new parents, especially for new moms, and without the proper support—which we do not get here in America—we find ourselves struggling to heal physically, adjust to our new roles, learn how to breastfeed, while sleep deprived, and, on top of all of it, we get to stress out financially. On top of it, for most people in a partnered relationship, it's the male partner who goes back to work sooner than the female partner; she ends up, by default, dealing with all of the mental, physical, and emotional labor of parenting and household management. It's a f*cked-up system, and it needs to change.

Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is a profile of both autism and ADHD, where any kind of demand—no matter how small—feels like a loss of control. It’s not that we’re intentionally avoiding things; it’s that our brains are wired to feel panic when something is expected of us. And in postpartum, where demands are endless—feeding, changing, soothing—it’s like overload on every level. For moms with PDA, this can quickly lead to postpartum anxiety because the constant demands feel suffocating, triggering that “fight or flight” response, and making it harder to cope with day-to-day life.
