If the neurodiversity movement is to truly succeed, it must focus on helping individuals develop the resiliency necessary to embrace their neurodivergent thinking. As someone who identifies as dyslexic, I recognize the inherent challenge in expressing this concept accurately. The words themselves can obscure the true meaning, tangled in the web of assumptions and biases. I explore this delicate balance—the space where words and ideas converge in my latest post on Medium (link here). For most people, certain words naturally align with specific concepts, forming a bridge between expression and understanding. But neurodivergent thinkers must grapple with this linguistic liminality, where the logical connections between words and meanings remain elusive. In this article I address challenges and the difference between the resilience need to confronting one’s biology, and the resilience to be a neurodivergent thinker, and manage that intricate dance between mind, language, and the ability to express oneself authentically. True resilience isn't just about soldiering through—it’s about understanding and accepting what’s needed for healing. It’s recognizing the path toward growth and amplifying our capacity to heal. It’s the courage to embrace our unique wiring, the strength to persist, and the wisdom to navigate a world that often misunderstands us. Read the full article on Medium. 1: Hulbig, P. (2024, March).
