Hello and welcome to the new home of 'Legally Detained'. The good news is we are no longer detained and haven't been for over 2 years!! Life has changed dramatically since then and along with this I wanted to create a clean slate with my blog too.
So I will reintroduce myself- my name is Hannah, I am autistic and have struggled with my mental health. I am a passionate advocate for neurodiversity and mental health especially for young people. This blog is a place I share my experiences, ideas and hopefully create a safe space for those of us with what I like to call 'spicy' brains!! Currently I am finding myself, it takes baby steps but I am finally starting to see the 'real Hannah'. I have found a true love for music, performing and creativity. Recovery doesn't come overnight but as cringy as it is- it does get better!! I hope you will join me on this journey and help me to grow as safe and happy community here <3
Lots of love
Hannah xx
