Is Neurodivergence A Disorder, A Mark Of Genius, Or A Reaction To The Demands Of Modern Life?
When I was a little girl, I didn’t fit neatly into the expectations set before me.

I was curious about everything, full of energy, and yet often labeled as “too much” or “not enough” depending on the day.
