Pain to Power

Melissa Francis is a passionate advocate for neurodiverse families and individuals. As a mother and caregiver navigating her own family's journey with neurodiversity, Melissa has transformed her personal experiences into a mission of empowerment. Through her writing, she sheds light on the challenges and triumphs of raising neurodiverse children, emphasising the importance of self-advocacy, community, and resilience.

Drawing from her own path of turning pain into power, Melissa aims to inspire others to embrace their differences, find strength in their struggles, and thrive in a world that often misunderstands neurodiversity. Pain to Power: Empowering Neurodiverse Families to Thrive is her debut book, a heartfelt testament to her commitment to helping others on their own journeys.

When she's not writing or advocating, Melissa enjoys spending time with her children, T'shaya and T'quarn, who remain her greatest source of inspiration.
