A Bit About Me & Thriving Differently

Marty Denial Thriving Differently and living beyond boundaries with Chronic Illness and neurodiversity

Hi there, I’m Marty.

Chronic Illness Warrior and Creative Designer

Welcome to my little corner of the internet, where I write about chronic illness and neurodiversity.


My journey began with an autoimmune disease diagnosis while studying for an MA in Theology, changing my life course entirely. Despite my battles with fibromyalgia, psoriatic arthritis, and mental health challenges, I’ve found resilience and reinvention in unexpected places. This platform is my testament to the power of perseverance and the potential within neurodiversity.


So, whether you’re seeking support, information, or inspiration, you’ve found a home here at Thriving Differently. Let’s embrace our unique journeys together!
