Reset with NeuroClean

19/05/2026

Some of you may have noticed that NeuroClean talks openly about neurodivergence, chronic overwhelm, burnout, sensory struggles and the way our homes often reflect our physical and mental health.

Over time, I’ve also started noticing something else.

A lot of my neurodivergent clients seem to share traits, symptoms or diagnoses linked to three conditions that are often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, overlooked or dismissed:

- PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder)
- PoTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)
- Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder / hEDS

Research is increasingly showing overlap and co-morbidity between autism, ADHD and these conditions.

This post is NOT medical advice and I am NOT a doctor.
I am first aid trained, personally live with PMDD and hypermobility myself, have experience around PoTS, and my long-term special interests are psychology, sociology, disability and health conditions - especially where they intersect with neurodivergence and quality of life.

I’m sharing this because sometimes information changes lives.

Especially for people who have spent years being told:

- “everyone feels like that”
- “you’re just anxious”
- “you’re lazy”
- “you’re dramatic”
- “you need to exercise more”
- “you’re overreacting”
- or “your tests are normal”

💚 PMDD - More Than “Bad PMS” 💚

PMDD is a severe hormone-related disorder linked to the menstrual cycle with symptoms usually beginning 2 weeks before Period however for those with irregular cycles or other conditions affecting their hormones (such as pcos) this isn't always the case.

It can cause:

- extreme mood swings
- intense irritability or rage
- suicidal thoughts
- sensory overwhelm
- depression
- panic
- exhaustion
- brain fog
- feeling like “yourself disappears” before your period

Many autistic and ADHD people report their sensory issues, emotional regulation difficulties and executive dysfunction becoming significantly worse during hormonal changes. Research suggests people with ADHD are at much higher risk of PMDD.

PMDD is often missed because:

- it can look like depression, bipolar disorder, BPD or burnout
- many people don’t realise symptoms are cyclical
- women and AFAB neurodivergent people are historically underdiagnosed and misunderstood
- masking can hide the severity until someone burns out completely

💚 PoTS - “Why Do I Feel Like I’m Dying When I Stand Up?” 💚

PoTS affects the autonomic nervous system - the system responsible for things like heart rate, blood pressure and temperature regulation.

Common symptoms include:

- dizziness when standing
- rapid heart rate
- fainting or near fainting
- exhaustion
- heat intolerance
- nausea
- shakiness
- headaches
- brain fog
- adrenaline surges
- feeling weak after standing or showering

Many people with PoTS are repeatedly told it’s “just anxiety”.

PoTS is also commonly associated with hypermobility conditions and is seen frequently alongside neurodivergence.

💚 Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder / hEDS 💚

Hypermobility is NOT just “being flexible”.

For some people it can involve:

- chronic pain
- frequent sprains or injuries
- joints partially slipping out
- fatigue
- poor coordination
- digestive issues
- bruising easily
- chronic muscle tension
- poor body awareness
- pelvic pain
- headaches
- exhaustion from simply holding the body together

Many hypermobile people grew up being praised for being “bendy” without anyone recognising the pain, instability and fatigue underneath it.

Research and clinicians are increasingly recognising links between hypermobility, autism, ADHD and autonomic conditions like PoTS.

💚 Why This Matters 💚

A diagnosis doesn’t magically cure these conditions but understanding your body can change EVERYTHING. Once you understand what’s happening, you can start to:

- reduce shame
- stop pushing yourself past your limits
- learn symptom management
- advocate for accommodations
- prevent worsening symptoms
- understand burnout cycles
- work WITH your body instead of against it

For many neurodivergent people, unknowingly living with chronic health conditions leads to severe burnout, worsening mental health and a huge reduction in quality of life over time.

You do not need to “earn” support by collapsing first.

💚 If This Sounds Familiar 💚

Please speak to a GP or healthcare professional.

Keep symptom notes.
Track patterns.
Especially around:

- menstrual cycles
- standing
- fatigue
- pain
- dizziness
- sensory overload
- burnout

And remember:
Doctors are human.
Some are amazing.
Some are under-informed.
Some conditions are still poorly recognised.

If you genuinely feel something is being missed, it is okay to ask for a second opinion.

You know your body better than anyone else.

And whether you end up with a formal diagnosis or not, learning how to accommodate and support your body is still important.

Your symptoms are real.
Your struggles matter.
And you deserve support before you completely burn out trying to “push through”.

Just under 2 hours left for local council voting! Voting stations close at 10pm tonight. Local elections are important for our community and councillors in seats at Parliament matter when it comes to countrywide decisions and legislation.

Not sure where your polling station is , but you're registered to vote and lost or not received your polling card?

Find out where your polling station is by putting your postcode and address into this site :

We build digital tools to support everyone’s participation in UK democracy.

07/05/2026

Today is voting day - and whether you’re excited about it, fed up with politics, or feeling like your vote won’t matter… it still matters.

Local decisions affect real life. Housing. Mental health support. Disability services. Community funding. Social care. Support for carers. Local businesses. Youth services. Public transport. Cleanliness and safety in our communities. The things people message us about every single week are often shaped by decisions made by people elected locally and nationally.

You don’t have to agree with everyone. You don’t have to love politics. But your voice still deserves to be counted.

Vote for what matters to YOU. Your future. Your family. Your friends. Your community. Your values. Your lived experience.

And if you’re frustrated with the way things are, voting is still one of the biggest ways to influence change rather than stepping away from the conversation completely.

📌 IMPORTANT: If you KNOW you’re registered to vote but you’ve lost your polling card or never received it, you may still be able to vote.

Contact the Electoral Registration Officer at your local Civic Centre BEFORE 5PM today for help and information about your polling station.

You do NOT usually need your polling card to vote - but in England you DO need valid photo ID at the polling station.

🧠 Quick note on tactical voting: Some people choose to vote tactically - meaning they vote in a way they believe gives the best chance of influencing the overall result in their area, even if it’s not their first-choice party or candidate. Others vote purely based on personal values or preferred policies. Both approaches are valid - what matters is making an informed choice that feels right to you.

No matter who you support, please use your vote today if you’re able to.

"Anything worth doing is worth doing badly."

I live by this quote, because honestly? Sometimes "badly" is the only realistic option - and that still counts.

These swaps are for the days when time is short, energy is gone, spoons are low, your brain is overwhelmed, or burnout has moved in rent free.

They are not about having a perfect home. They are about having a more manageable home.

Swap:

- Washing the dishes
For:
- Find all the dishes around the house and put them by the sink

Swap:

- Doing the laundry
For:
- Gather all the laundry into bags and place it near the washing machine

Swap:

- Tidying a whole room
For:
- Open the windows, air the room out, open the curtains/blinds

Swap:

- Deep cleaning your home/bedroom
For:
- Pick up rubbish and put it into bags

Swap:

- Cleaning the kitchen
For:
- Put things back in cupboards/fridge, quick wipe with anti-bac wipes, throw rubbish away

Swap:

- Putting laundry away
For:
- Use drawers instead of wardrobes, or keep a separate bag for clean clothes

Swap:

- Cleaning the bathroom
For:
- Use toilet cistern blocks, toilet cleaning tabs and anti-bac wipes

Swap:

- Keeping your space tidy
For:
- Keep bins near the places you use most - bed, sofa, gaming chair, kitchen, next to the toilet

Because progress matters more than perfection.

A home does not need to look Instagram ready to be valid, safe or lived in. Struggle looks different for everyone. For some people it's disability, chronic illness or mental health. For others it's grief, stress, parenting, work, caring responsibilities or simply trying to survive a hard week.

Sometimes knowing there is an easier version of the task is the difference between doing nothing and doing something. Something helps, something keeps things manageable, something keeps you feeling in control.

Truthfully, I use loads of these in my own home. I'm a professional cleaner in other people's houses, but cleaning my own place? Entirely different sport. I know a lot of fellow neurodivergent people will understand that one.

So if all you did today was bag laundry, gather dishes, open a window or throw away rubbish - that counts.

Small wins still win. 💚

Clare’s Law - something everyone should know about

When you meet someone new and things feel good, it’s natural to trust that feeling. But safety matters more than assumptions, and that’s exactly why Clare’s Law exists.

Clare’s Law (also known as the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme) gives you the right to ask the police if your partner has a history of abusive or violent behaviour. You can also apply on behalf of someone you care about if you’re worried about them.

It’s important to know - this isn’t just about convictions. Disclosures can include allegations, patterns of behaviour, or if someone is currently on bail. That information could be the difference between staying safe or missing red flags.

How to access Clare’s Law:

- Search “Clare’s Law” on your local police website
- Apply online or by calling 101
- In an emergency, always call 999

You don’t need proof or a “good enough” reason to ask. If something feels off, or even if everything feels perfect but you just want peace of mind - you have the right to check.

At NeuroClean, we believe looking after your environment also means looking after you. Safety, wellbeing, and feeling secure in your own space matters.

If this post helps even one person make a safer choice, it’s worth sharing.

Tonight’s the night.

Today is the day I step into the ring - and this is my reason why.

This video is a small glimpse into the incredible work done by LilyAnne's Wellbeing - a space that offers support, safety, community and understanding to people who genuinely need it. It’s not just a place, it’s a lifeline for so many.

From mental health support, to simply having somewhere to go where you’re welcomed without judgement - what they provide is something truly special, and something our communities need more of.

I wanted to capture that in this video and share even a fraction of the impact they have.

I’ll be honest - I ran out of time while making this, so some of the captions aren’t as complete as I wanted them to be. But I didn’t want that to stop me sharing something that matters.

Tonight, I fight - and I’m doing it to help support this amazing place and the people it helps every single day.

If you take anything from this, let it be this:

- Places like this change lives
- Support like this saves people
- And they can only continue with help from people like us

If you’re in a position to donate, even a small amount, it genuinely makes a difference.

Thank you for taking the time to watch, support, share, or donate - it all matters more than you realise.

“Businesses don’t care about people. They only care about money.”

I hear this a lot.
And if I’m honest? I understand why.

Unfortunately, there are businesses that prioritise profit over people. It can feel transactional. Cold. Like you’re just a number on an invoice. And when you’ve already had hard experiences in life, that lack of care makes it even harder to trust.

But here’s the truth about NeuroClean…

We are a business.
And yes - we need to make money.

It’s what puts food on my table. It supports my family. It keeps the lights on and allows us to continue operating. If NeuroClean doesn’t make money, we can’t exist - and if we don’t exist, we can’t help anyone.
But people will always come first here.

Not just in words. In actions:

✨ We send check-in messages because we genuinely want to know how you are.

✨ We treat clients like friends and extended family - not payments due on a Friday.

✨ With our regulars, we often stay longer to chat, finish a task, or just sit and listen - even when the clock has technically stopped.

✨ We discount work for unpaid carers and people on benefits because support shouldn’t be a luxury.

✨ We made sure all staff are First Aid trained - not because it looks good on paper, but because if something happens in your home, we want to be able to respond properly and confidently.

✨ We take the time to learn about you - your routines, your family, your needs, your triggers, what makes you feel safe.

✨ We listen - properly listen. Sometimes that means being cleaners. Sometimes that means being signposts to support services. Sometimes that means helping someone put words to their struggles.

✨ We’ve written supporting letters for PIP claimants after seeing first-hand what daily life is like for them.

✨ We’ve recommended and personally paid for small home products that make someone’s life easier.

✨ With permission, we take unwanted items and pass them to other clients who need them - or donate to local charities, rehab services, and domestic abuse shelters.

✨ We’ve taken laundry home at no extra cost when someone’s machine was broken or they were overwhelmed.

✨ We’ve worked alongside Adult Social Care and advocated (successfully) for better outcomes.

✨ We’ve connected clients with local charities and community support.

✨ In charity spaces we support, we regularly give extra time or donate items because the space matters.

✨ And every step of the way, we make sure the client feels in control - because autonomy matters.

We don’t just “clean houses.”
We help people reset their space so they can reset themselves. That’s why our tagline is Reset with NeuroClean.

As a neurodivergent-led business, I built NeuroClean to be the kind of service I wish existed when I was struggling. A service that understands executive dysfunction. Burnout. Mental health. Recovery. Carer fatigue. Real life.

Do I dip into my own money to help people sometimes?
Yes. Because I want to. And I wouldn’t change that. I'm a person who loves to help others and it makes me feel like the best version of me when I'm supporting others in finding peace, joy or comfort and I refuse to change that. I built a business around my love of helping others and every single day I see the rewards from that. Not financially, emotionally.

👀 So , how can you tell if a business prioritises people over profit? 💰

Do they rush you, or do they listen?

Are their policies rigid, or do they adapt when life happens?

Do they only contact you when payment is due - or do they check in?

Do they talk about community, or actively show up in it?

Are their staff trained just for the job - or trained to care for the human in front of them?

Do you feel like a number - or like a person?

You deserve services that make you feel safe, respected and valued.

If you’re already part of the NeuroClean community - thank you for trusting us in your homes and your lives. That trust is never taken lightly.

And if you’re new here and unsure whether to reach out - my inbox is always open for a conversation first. No pressure. Just people. 💚

Today marks the start of the Lunar New Year 🧧

For many people and communities around the world, this isn’t just a date change — it’s traditionally a time for clearing the old, making space for the new, and resetting the home so the year can begin with good energy and good fortune.

Honestly… that feels very “NeuroClean”.

A lot of the work we do isn’t about perfection or spotless show-homes. It’s about helping people breathe again in their space. A fresh start. A manageable environment. A home that feels kinder to live in.

So to everyone in our community who celebrates — we wish you luck, prosperity, and peace in the year ahead.
And even if you don’t celebrate, today’s still a nice reminder that you’re allowed a reset. It doesn’t have to be January 1st to start again.

Happy Lunar New Year from NeuroClean 🧡

BIG proud boss moment today 💚🙏🏻

Aarron has officially passed his Level 3 First Aid at Work qualification 🥳

At NeuroClean we’ve never believed we’re just cleaners.

We work with people who live alone, people struggling with mental health, recovery, overwhelm, disability and everything life throws at them — so safety matters just as much as standards.

That now means:

- You get a clean home
- You get understanding humans
- You get trained first aiders in your home

Both myself and Aarron are First Aid qualified, which means if something ever went wrong while we’re supporting you, we’re able to respond calmly and correctly. It’s peace of mind for clients, families and professionals who refer to us.

But more importantly…

Aarron chose to do this.
He didn’t have to - he wanted to.

He constantly proves that this job to him is about people, not just property, and I genuinely couldn’t be prouder to have him representing NeuroClean.

Well done mate - massively deserved 👏💚

A little update from me 👋

Over the next couple of months, I’ll be taking part in an Ultra MMA fight to raise money for charity. It’s a huge personal challenge and something I’m really proud to be doing.

That said, I want to keep this page doing what it does best - being about NeuroClean, our work, our clients, and the services we provide. So I’ve created a separate event page specifically for my Ultra MMA journey.

From now on, posts about the fight and fundraising will be minimal on this page. Anyone who wants to follow training updates, support the charities, or keep up with the fight can do so over on the event page instead.

Thank you, as always, for supporting NeuroClean and trusting us with your spaces.

Business as usual here — and I can’t wait to keep sharing the work we do 💙

— Maverick
