The journey...
Exploring the journey: A User Guide
Hello brave soul! You're either here because curiosity got the better of you or you are an adventurer, keen on back story, details and a good dose of well - oversharing. If you have changed your mind, all good - just click the logo to escape back to the place where the information is in a logical form and is easy to access.
The beginning...
In a nondescript suburb, in a nondescript city, a young girls life is well on the way. With another school day over and the shadows going long, she wanders through the park calming her mind from the noise of the day. Sameness gives her comfort, but she longs for change which confuses her developing brain; how do you love where you are but dream to be in a place where the days don't morph into each other like a time loop movie without the comedy?
She is surrounded by a world that could only be described as normality; kids around her just get on with things, friends playing together, crying doesn't feature much in their lives for reasons she can't understand, but for this girl the school day is tiring, especially when your goal is to keep her head low and the only lesson learnt is the simple art of hiding in plain sight.

This girl is me.
The early years
The middle...
With a huge sigh as she packs away the school uniform once and for all.
Optimism, reality and adjustment.
The now...
School is done for the day, a young girl looks out the window dreaming of being anywhere else. The day was long and loud and she learnt nothing but how to keep her head low and out of sight of everyone. She perfects this - the art of hiding in plain sight.
The neuro-sparkly years
The future...
This is the future of neurodivergence as I see it, or at least, as I dream it. You can only move forward if you know what you are heading towards - you need a goal.
