Stigma Doesn't Live Here: Stories of Mental Health Resilience - Burju's Story

Burju is a proud mum, avid reader, and sci-fi enthusiast who discovered she was autistic at 40 while seeking a diagnosis for her young son. Suddenly, the challenges she’d faced all her life - feeling overwhelmed, battling burnout, and navigating sensory overload - made sense.
Now, she’s embracing her neurodivergence with self-compassion, finding peace in her backyard sanctuary, and breaking the stigma by advocating for support and understanding. For Burju, life isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being true to herself, pushing for awareness and acceptance, and showing the world that we are more than the sum of our disabilities.
