Samantha
Oyler

Maternal Menace came from living inside the collision of neurodivergence, overstimulation, parenting, recovery, and rebuilding. Samantha is autistic and ADHD, diagnosed late, and has been to prison—but that is only part of the story.

She is in recovery, raising her autistic son, and using what she has lived through to create and help people instead of making the world a worse place. She is also a paid caregiver for her son and a firm advocate for harm reduction and families the systems were never built around.

The tech roots run deep: she grew up in her mom's computer training business—which held a contract with INL—working and taking classes in Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and QuickBooks, and came within a step of being certified to teach Microsoft courses herself.

Every app, book, image, and project is built from that same instinct: tell the truth about the mess, solve the problem in front of you, and make something useful enough to share.
