Yeah, you!

The one who’s online right now. You’re invited to my party. You belong here! Because what counts as "normal" or "typical" refers to a much narrower range of humans than actually exist. That doesn't mean everyone has neurodivergent traits. But it does mean that how we respond to differences in human minds, bodies, and ways of being impacts all of us.

Pattern recognition is one of the gifts of my wiring. I see how neurodivergence intersects with culture, ethics, and the rules we've inherited about how people must function. When the old rules can't account for different ways of being, the person can be treated as the source of the problem without considering the impact of the system they live inside. That friction tends to happen to pop up for all humans at one time or another.

So if you are a professional, a community member, or simply want to learn, this party work includes you!
