Self-discovery – and self-awareness – is not just so that you can reel out facts about yourself in a game at some party, or write a more impressive bio. It’s a journey that should help you structure your growth curves and intentional development to better suit the way you are wired and the things you would like to do
Autism and ADHD have been known to have connections that run deep. Upon evaluation, it’s been noted that 30 to 80 percent of children with autism also meet the criteria for ADHD. Vice-versa, 20 to 50 percent of children with ADHD meet the criteria for autism. Because of the magnitude of this overlap, scientists are
Hyperlexia is a child’s ability to read at an age they are not expected to. Hyperlexia can affect children as young as 2 years and above. Children with hyperlexia seem to have a keen interest in letters and numbers and are able to read words at a level above their expected skill level with respect
Time feels like quicksand, pouring through our fingers, leaving us grasping at nothing as we struggle to make sense of how much has passed and how much is left. It feels like a trap: and the never ending cycle of trying to fit into a society that thrives on time is a struggle that about 1 in 4 individuals face
In this article, I’d explore how to create Time Pillars and Anchors that help to boost productivity and reduce time-induced stress and anxiety
You will make progress. However, progress might not happen the way society has conditioned you to expect it. …and when you focus on outcomes as against goals, the goals you were conditioned to chase fall into your lap, as natural occurrences in the course of your life
For example, I stutter… but I have never stuttered while teaching Scriptures, and more recently, I found that I almost do not stutter when I talk about autism, ADHD and neurodivergence in general.

Number 1 would push you to grow, number 2 would push you to acceptance.
It’s also like when you have Cameroon pepper, fresh habanero and jalepeno
Each of them is pepper, but each one has a different effect on the taste of the recipe, and so you must know which to deploy when making your dish that would produce the spicy effect that you want without overpowering (or being overpowered by) the taste of the other spices and seasonings in your food.
if you did not do too well, don’t punish yourself by overcramming the next time slot. It would be setting yourself up for premium tears
Neurodivergence?? Care to share few nuggets? — Love Surgeon??❤️ (@iam_Tommik) December 19, 2020 Neurodivergence speaks to the fact that people’s brains are structured differently.

Say you have a staff who is really good at their job but they have to be micromanaged to be efficient and your organization policy is really against micromanaging, what do you do?

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
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,
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
