Just moments after penning those sentiments about attempting to arrive at some kind of normalcy, an email plops into my inbox at work.

Neurodiversity describes the naturally occurring variations in human neurocognitive capabilities that exist in every culture, race and gender. Neurodiversity acknowledges that each person’s brain is unique and we all bring individual experiences, strengths, and assets. There is no one ‘right’ or ‘normal’ way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits.

So a different perspective on the need to fix myself. And it’s true: some advocates think of our condition not as a problem to overcome, but as a variation to embrace.
