Permission To Be Different
Nikki Butler, an Autism and ADHD advocate from Alton, is empowering women to embrace their differences through her new book, Permission To Be Different. Diagnosed with autism and ADHD in her mid-forties, Nikki aims to inspire the next generation of readers who have felt like they don’t fit in. Having spent years pretending to be like everyone else, Nikki knows firsthand the stress and burnout that can result.
Are you a neurodivergent or neuro-curious woman, tired of feeling like you’re constantly struggling? If you’ve had enough of trying to meet everyone else’s expectations, feeling overwhelmed, and beating yourself up for not measuring up, then Permission to Be Different is your escape plan.
Crafted by Nikki Butler, a late-diagnosed autistic ADHD’er, ex-corporate high-flyer, and award-winning entrepreneur, this book is a beacon of hope for anyone who’s felt out of place. Whether at school, work, or social circles, if you’ve spent your life camouflaging your true self, you know all too well the toll it takes.
From masking to chasing impossible standards, Nikki shares her heartfelt journey through the exhausting battle of trying to conform to a world not built for her. She opens up about the deep-seated shame and feelings of worthlessness that shadowed her for decades, painting a vivid picture of her struggles with self-acceptance and her eventual breakthroughs. Through stories of transformation and profound self-compassion, Nikki invites you to see how embracing your true self can lead to triumph and fulfillment.
Whether you’re formally diagnosed, self-diagnosed, suspect you might be neurodivergent, or just always felt a bit ‘different’, Nikki has you covered! This book isn’t just another self-help manual; it’s a liberating journey out of the chaos of neurodivergent burnout. Nikki’s personal journey and professional expertise converge to guide you through reclaiming your life by:

It is so important to me that neurodivergent women embrace their true selves and create a life full of happiness, balance and achievement. Permission To Be Different is my way of guiding and inspiring them on this journey, no matter what stage they are at. They need to know they can let go of the need to fit into societal expectations and fly just as they are, by giving themselves permission to be different.
