To begin with, here's a confession from my corner. I'm also neurodivergent (diagnosed about 3-4 years ago). So, this particular space felt familiar and welcoming, as well as infinitely fascinating and insightful. There are gags and serious posts about that ever-evolving dialogue with your own mental processes. There are journeys and life stories that offer hope for the future, because different people are at different stages of self-acceptation. There are questions about adulting challenges and strange anxieties; medication and other supportive tools and strategies; talk about getting over-stimulated by things most neurotypicals relegate to the realm of background noise; talk about superstitions, symptoms not covered in the diagnostic bible, superpowers. And owls, which I found interesting. I also loved an alternate take on the proverbial biological clock that has nothing to do with female reproduction - and quite frankly makes a lot more sense. But there are also discussions about sensitive topics, such as how to handle trauma and triggering memories. There are many daily posts and a fair amount of engagement on each. No judgement. Only real sharing, real support. I loved this community.
