Shortly after her appearances at the National Neurodiversity Shows, Into The Wild Festival and the Royal Festival Hall, join Sammi on an emotional rollercoaster ride as she blends poetry, comedy and narrative to tell stories of her crazy journey through life before a revelatory late diagnosis of autism, ADHD and OCD in her early 50s. Expect laughter and tears through the highs and the lows as a precocious Elvis-obsessed child, RAF officer, international businesswoman and concert photographer, before menopause and a mental health crash into the unknown. Discover why daily activities can be so difficult for neurodivergent people, learn fun facts through science and ponder on what it is means to be neurotypical.

There will be time for you to ask Sammi questions at the end of the performance.

Sammi Ford is an award-winning and published poet, keynote neurodiversity speaker and workshop leader.
