BEING GEMZIILOU

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

My name's Gemma, aka Gemziilou, and I’ve been streaming on Twitch (on and off) for about five years now. I’m a single parent to a young human and a cat, I currently work part time, I’m studying towards a professional qualification and I play games/stream in my downtime from these. I was diagnosed with ADHD in April 2021, and have since been learning a lot about how my condition has impacted my life so that I can adapt and manage everything better. I have also recently started to learn more about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and I believe that I possibly have this too. As it is a spectrum, there are varying levels of impact that it can have on someone's life, and I feel that whilst it does impact me, it’s not as much as many others I know that have it, so I don’t even know if I will bother with a formal diagnosis.

The initial purpose of this blog is to raise awareness about the struggles of being a Neurodivergent streamer. It could turn into something more though so watch this space!
