Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
This has been a week huntyyyy! Norm only returned from Qatar on Monday so I was on my own last weekend. I was so tired that I just hibernated. I was harbouring a lot of anxiety and stress about the phone call from HR the Friday afternoon advising my contract ends at the end of …
This week I have learned some new terminology for some of the same old 'quirks'. I keep discovering that the weird little behaviours I have always done are either stims, or characteristics of either Autism or ADHD. For example, constantly singing is a ND trait. I sing continuously either in my head or out loud. …
This past weekend was just so fabulous. My daughter Caitlin and I flew down to George from Cape Town at an obscenely early time of day last Thursday morning so that we could spend that whole day with Lily, Amelia and Josh. We woke at 4am and just threw on warm clothes and left as …

Sometimes my weekends end up being so tiring even if I do nothing. This last weekend was so busy and therefore my tiredness was justified. This week has been full of dramas and disasters which has not really helped perk me up. Last Saturday we had our final Soul Circle for the year. It was …
Cape Town weather is notoriously changeable, most people carry attire in their car boot (trunk for you Yanks) to cater for excessive rain or extreme heat. I often have a wrap, rain boots, flip flops and all manner of things in mine. The Mother City definitely summoned up all of her chaos for last weekend. …
I was so happy to be able to fly to George to see Lily, Trevor, Josh and Amelia. Josh's mom Jackie is home at the moment and it was lovely to get to spend time with her too. We are very similar in so many ways. Josh and Lily picked me up from the airport …
In my last post I mentioned attending soul circle, but I did not tell you that several people told me that my energy is completely different than when I first attended a year ago. Apparently I was a ball of nervous energy then, I think someone called me a 'bumblebee' which makes me giggle. Someone …
