Bonny Hazelwood is a writer, virtual assistant and aspiring psychologist from Brighton, United Kingdom. Interested in giving a neurodivergent perspective on everything from education to Disney movies, she loves to acquire knowledge, connect people, and relax in nature.

Much of her work across all media is influenced by her lived experience – after going through education mostly unnoticed and unsupported, Bonny was identified as/diagnosed with dyscalculia in September 2019. These days she is a proud neurodivergent, bringing “the final frontier of civil rights” to the page, to the streets and into the light – leaving behind guilt, shame and misunderstanding.
