Today like everyday is a very special day.

Today I decided to do things a little differently. ( Not really everyday is different for me)
But I decided that for today and possibly for ever this is my new birthday.

And I am even thinking that I might just make everyday my birthday. I am not sure yet.

22/12/22 it’s a pretty good number, so I am rolling with it. 🙏♥️

Maybe it could be everyone’s birthday?

I want to give my take on neurodivergence. Mainly because if you Google adhd or neurodivergent you will find a lot of negative ‘disorder talk’ and people are ashamed of being neurodivergent. Being a neurodivergent person myself and having alot of neurodivergent people around me most of my life, I have come to learn that it is in no way a disorder it is just that we are not deemed to be in the majority ‘typical group’. Neurodivergent have different strengths and weaknesses than neurotypical. Neurodivergent have different drivers, they like to solve problems and are generally very good at maths and are interested in science. They are very hard workers and often won’t stop until they have solved the problem or finished what they are working on. They are very hard on themselves and don’t like fail, their work is never done everything must be perfect so they are prone to fatigue and burn out. In our generation they were often deemed at school to have learning disorders but they were misunderstood, bored, not interested or didn’t see value in learning something that 1 they weren’t interested in or 2 they actually don’t believe to be true. They dont care about their social status and are often in their ‘own world’. They would challenge their teachers and peers because they have worked the answer out already and believe they are right and they often are. Their minds go straight to ‘D’ the desired outcome and then work backwards finding all possible options and then the best one. Where neurotypical is A.B.C.D
Unfortunately they can suffer greatly from anxiety as they struggle to engage in ‘normal’ conversations and often feel like they don’t fit in and they are not enough. They don’t like to waste their time.

We had the best craziest early Christmas today. My neurodivergent mind was on overdrive as usual, but I felt so at peace! Our family dynamics are slightly left field but I am so proud of everyone and how it all works 🙏♥️
