You Were Never the Problem

You may notice we use terms like Autism and ADHD, but only briefly, and with purpose. These are the words many women search when they’re seeking answers. But here, they’re simply stepping stones—not destinations.

We don’t see your experience as a disorder.

We see it as a neurotype. A sacred wiring. A unique form of energetic attunement.

Yes, there are traits that may feel overwhelming or misunderstood, but that doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’ve been living in a world that wasn’t designed with your wiring in mind.

And we don’t believe in helping you “fit in” to a broken system.

We believe in changing the system, starting with how we speak about who you are.

We use new language.

We say traits, not symptoms.

Recognition, not diagnosis.

Support, not treatment.

Because the medical model may have given you a name for your experience—but it didn’t give you the truth.

What We Believe:

Why this work is personal for me 

— Jess Pliszka

Why this work is personal for me — Jess Pliszka

If you’re questioning whether you might be neurodivergent, or you’ve already been diagnosed, I see you.

For over 20 years, I lived in limbo. I knew I was different, but every label I was given—anxiety, sensory processing issues, trauma responses—felt incomplete. I never felt fully seen. And deep down, I knew something wasn’t being named.

Eventually, I received the diagnoses of Autism and ADHD, and for a moment, everything clicked. Suddenly, there were words that matched my inner world. Lists that described my experiences so precisely it felt like someone had written my biography.

There was an instant wave of relief.

I wasn’t defective. I wasn’t broken.

I was just wired differently, and now I had the language to explain it.

But as time went on, I realized those labels—while initially empowering—had their limits.

They described my traits, but not my truth.

The more I healed, awakened, and aligned with my truest path, the more I saw that these diagnostic terms were never meant to contain someone like me. They were written from the outside looking in, created by systems that don’t truly understand women who mask well, lead boldly, and feel everything.

Eventually, I realized: the diagnosis was just the door.

What I found on the other side was liberation—not because of the labels, but because I remembered who I really am.

I share this because I know what it feels like to live unseen. To long for answers. To feel the deep, quiet knowing that you’re different, and not have the words to make sense of it.

Whether you’re just starting to question or you’ve had a diagnosis for years, this work is about more than recognition. It’s about remembrance.

About letting go of the shame, the doubt, the perfectionism, the pressure to be neurotypical, and finally coming home to who you really are.

For many of us, receiving a diagnosis like Autism or ADHD is the first time we finally hear,

"You’re not broken. You just work differently."

That moment can be life-changing.

But at some point, the labels stop feeling expansive and start feeling limiting.

Jess says, "I know this deeply. The path that led me here began with diagnosis. It gave me language. It gave me relief. But it wasn’t the final destination, it was a bridge. Over time, I realized I didn’t need to define myself by clinical terms or symptom checklists. I needed a new framework—one that centered lived experience, energetic attunement, and personal truth.

That’s why I created Neurodivergent Awakening Support.

This is not about labeling or explaining yourself to others.

This is about coming home to yourself."

If you’ve outgrown the clinical model but still crave validation, expansion, and clarity—you’re in the right place. This work isn’t diagnostic. It’s liberatory.

This space is intentionally created to be supportive, inclusive, and rooted in integrity.

For many of us, receiving a diagnosis like Autism or ADHD is the first time we finally hear,

You’ve spent long enough putting everyone else first.

This is your moment to choose yourself.

We’re ready when you are—and we’re here to walk with you every step of the way.
