Biography

Amanda Feetham is a spatial scientist, project manager, and self-described "book nerd" who turns to fantasy to calm her mind and tune out external overstimulation. At 35, while researching developmental tools for her daughter alongside her husband, who had undiagnosed ADHD, Amanda recognised her own behaviours in the research and was formally diagnosed with inattentive ADHD at the 99th percentile. This late-in-life diagnosis provided immense validation, reframing a lifelong struggle with depression and anxiety since her early teens and explaining years of mediocre academic grades, which had previously led her to self-deprecatingly label herself as "medium" as a cognitive processing difference rather than a reflection of intelligence.
