Hello Beautiful Humans, it's been a "minute"...
March 2023 - March 2024 were the hardest and yet MOST revealing months of my life. Some of you can relate, trying to figure out my identity after the pandemic / leaving Microsoft / dropping the Founder path to support a Family Trauma / burned out in 80+ hour Startup-Tech weeks for YEARS.
??All while learning more about my Aspergers diagnosis in 2022.
Sharing here for the first time publicly. Please keep an open mind.
If you know me IRL, you know that I am very passionate about 2-3 things TOPS (at a time) and tend to be really good at "tuning out" the noise around me. I've excelled at highly technical roles that involved connecting people to their passion projects.
??Video Games, Virtual/Mixed Realities, Blockchain and Agricultural Tech = I LOVE learning ALL THE THINGS + can listen for hours. The nerdier and more "woo woo", the better!!!
I am REALLY good at holding safe space for fellow NDs to open up in all of our weirdness. Really good at NOT being "normal" while still playing the game that is current economical systems. Really adaptable + resilient, having learned to do so at a very young age being homeschooled/moving a lot.
I can go super deep about topics that interest me.
??Sustaining Plant Life in the harshest environments (bunkers, Antarctica, Space)
??The possibility of Humans connecting with non-human life forms in my lifetime!
?? Artificial Intelligence + Machine Learning + how we use tools to simplify Life.
??Taping into my divine Feminine intuition while also creating structure + systems.
?? Leaving the planet better for my Daughter (and future generations).

I can also ignore the basics...
?? Small talk + "catching up" (sorry mom + besties!)
?? Buying new clothes (too many options, Steve Jobs is my fashion icon atm)
??Working out consistently. Any tips?
?? Social media posting + planning. My brain is "busy" puzzle solving IRL.
?? Worrying about other people. Srsly. I am not even thinking about you. Oops.
As I am opening up about my personal journey to discover more about my Quirkiness + Celebrating my brain in the amazing ways that it operates... How many of you can relate?!
Have you struggled to "fit in" as a Neurodivergent? Do you find yourself feeling out of place in "normal" social settings? I have BEEN THERE!
AND
I am here to bring a little more awareness to the incredible thing that is a Neurodivergent ??????.
Thank you so much for letting me open up. Please reach out if you want more connection as an Neurodivergent, I am here to support you in any way I can.
Also, if you know of any online communities of us... please share in the comments! ??
Have an Amazing Weekend!

8 个月I, too, am neurodivergent (autistic, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, & OCD). I didn't get formally diagnosed until my mid-30s and it changed everything. I realized how much I had been discriminated against because no one knew those things. I have been trying to educate others around me but it's hard - it takes a long time for the masses to truly be accepting. I've enjoyed following you over the years and am proud you're part of our community in such a stunning way!
