Sandhya Menon is an AuDHD Developmental Psychologist and Author of the much-loved kids’ books The Brain Forest, The Rainbow Brain, and her latest creation, My Body’s Power Pack. She spends her days helping children and families build strong self-identities that celebrate and know their neurotype before the world tries to tell them otherwise.

Her work is a mash-up of sharp clinical knowledge, lived experience, and just enough whimsy to make even the trickiest concepts feel human (and yes, actually fun). She also draws from her collectivist family roots in Singapore and her neurodivergent self to call out Western and neuronorms that don’t serve our communities and make conversations truly inclusive and representative of our different realities. 

If you were looking for someone who can turn research into real talk while keeping it warm, inclusive, and a sprinkle of fun, we've found her.
