Hey, I’m Steph.

I’m the creator of Hot Mess Havoc, a blog about the daily experience of woman with autism.

I was diagnosed with autism at age 34, and honestly, as much as I suspected it, I was also blindsided. I attributed all of my peculiarities, blunderings, and general lack of social know-how to my personal failings as a person. You can read more about my diagnosis story here. Lo, and behold, it’s simply because my brain is wired differently.

And that’s not a bad thing.

Here, you won’t find any sugar-coating or masking. I’m real, unfiltered, and unmasked. Except for my avatar; obviously, she’s fake. Privacy is the utmost importance for my family as well as my professional life.

Glad you stopped by. Grab a coffee and join the hot mess havoc!
