Not the Mother They Expected: Postpartum, Neurodivergence, and Finding Your Own Way: When the Rules Never Fit You

By Helen Rose

Not the Mother They Expected
Postpartum, Neurodivergence, and Finding Your Own Way

Motherhood changes everything - but no one tells you how loud it will be, or how quiet. How the nights feel endless. How the love doesn't always crash in like a wave, but builds slowly, drip by drip.

This is the messy side of new motherhood - the exhaustion, the quiet panic, the invisible load that no one else can see. It's the rage you're ashamed to admit, the masking that keeps you smiling while you're crumbling, and the slow, soft realisation that you're not broken - just wired differently.

If you've ever sat in the dark at 3 a.m., crying over burnt toast and wondering if you're the only one, this book is for you. Honest. Sharp. Raw. Sometimes darkly funny in the way only new mums will understand.

Perfect for mums navigating postpartum anxiety, ADHD, autism, or sensory overload, this is your reminder: you're not failing. You're just finding your way, one beautifully messy day at a time.
