A Lifetime of Neurodivergence, Unknown

What if what you spent a lifetime outrunning turned out to be the most interesting thing about you? A memoir about ARFID, autism,
ADHD, and finally having the language for all of it.

The food was never the whole story. It was the clue.

About the Author

Marla Lopez

If you have ever felt like you were doing everything right and still somehow doing it wrong, this book was written for you. If you have spent years quietly working around something you could never quite name, you are not alone in this.

Marla Lopez is a late-diagnosed AuDHD adult who spent decades building businesses, crossing borders, and quietly ordering fries before she finally had the language for her own wiring. She has appeared on Good Morning America, Nightline, Anderson Cooper, and in Ladies Home Journal, years before the full picture came into focus.

French Fry Lady is the book that came after. Funny, precise, and deeply honest, it is the book that makes you call someone you love and say: this is me. This has always been me.

Praise for French Fry Lady

"This compelling book offers more than insight. It provides a mirror for those who struggle, allowing readers to see their own journeys reflected in her candid, inventive approaches to bridging the inner world and the demands of society. Her story inspires hope, affirming that difference can be managed and even celebrated. For professionals and readers alike, this book is both a guide and a comfort."
