Mask Off (2) – Non-speaking spells
Not too long ago, I came face to face with just how long I had hidden in non-verbal spells as against an external meltdown. The withdrawal and shut down. The inability to speak, and if forced, the stutters, the frustrated tears, the immense effort needed to hide all if this from the public view, and

Neurodivergence in Adults (Mask Off 3)
Sometimes, I feel like using the word “neurodivergence” hides how common place and really relatable it really is. So, I’m adapting a Twitter thread I recently made to show what neurodivergence sometimes looks like in an adult’s life because contrary to popular opinion, autism does not go away when you hit 18, neither does ADHD,

Neurodivergent Education
Long article alert This has to be the longest article I have put up here till date, and I took a break while putting it together to come add this intro. My own autistic diagnosis rocked my world so hard that it nearly fell apart, and then I had to make the tough call to

On Patriarchy…
18/08/2020 I had been dealing with a lot of (not very pleasant) surprises that left my mind in a fog, and a lot of what I wrote in this period was not very coherent. But this morning, I woke up with thoughts of patriarchy filling up my head and wrote this article in one sitting

Grow from Within
This hair holds a lot of lessons for me – like how giving something up on God’s instructions doesn’t mean that you’ve lost it, …or how it often comes back better, bigger than it was before, and sometimes in no time at all (if you saw the hair after I chopped it off in 2018,

Stop! Please, just stop!
It’s never about the victim. Abuse, in all its forms, is an expression of one human’s blatant disregard for the life and dignity of another human, regardless of gender, age, race, or position. It is an abuse of privilege, and the most significant of all wounds that can ever be inflicted on a human –

I am Enough
No Fear, No Helplessness, No Defeat. In our last mail, we looked at fear: how to handle the emotion, push back on the feelings, reach around the scare and anxiety to push forward to success. (You can read a recap or download the audio file.) Today, we’d be looking at DIMINISHING. Diminishing is a fancy word for when

4 Books 1 Year – A Scribe’s Journey
It’s a nostalgic season: this past week made it a year since I published my first book: The CHASE In 365 days, it’s been followed by 3 more, and I’m working on the 5th book as I write this. When I think about writing, I often tell myself that I do not have much to

I Miss You
I miss you! No kidding. I know I love to stay (and work) indoors, but this lockdown is a different scenario. I Miss being able to call for hangouts and have brainstorm sessions with so much light and wisdom blazing, warm bear hugs and kisses, plus the beautiful fellowship of good food. On the other

Not-so-mindless Chatter
Rain patters The mad hatter should not be blamed for mindless chatter I would too, trapped as I am in an endless cycle of sunrises and sunsets without a clear distinction of what day it is The days of the week start to look like a mindless invention of ancient past When it’s clear that

Sanity
Maybe we are mad, and they’re sane …cos sanity is usually predicated on the premise of the majority Different, yet needed… not weird Because we need answers, fresh and workable solutions very unlike what we do see The channels of solution must be pure, untainted …uncoloured by the experiences they wade through …forging ahead in
