Wound up with a fun new definition for 'neurodivergent' as I was writing this morning... because I don't like the use of ADHD, ASD or AuDHD. They're way too broad for any class of peopel within. Try this out:
Neurodivergence = "Non-normative cognition navigating systems designed for sameness."
"You might not seem like it at
work, but I definitely think you're
Autistic at home."
- My daughter, calling me out

My AuDHD brain finds a beat, won't let it go...
This song looped for 2-3 hrs yesterday, was so effective that I fired it back up today:

No Kings 2 is tomorrow, Oct 18. My local march is 1-3pm, when is yours?
Go to nokings.org to learn where to go, and when... and how to protect yourself.
Deep Dip
My new AuDHD phrase of the day.
A neurotypical might call it a deep dive, but we neurodivergent know that a deep dive can go MUCH deeper.

After signing up for the Oct 18th No Kings event in my town, they gave me the option to share... but just for my town. No one here is local to my town, so here's the site itself:

Silence is compliance.
Mindful Break Reminder -
In the space of a single deep breath, you can re-center, find focus and ground yourself.
"Nolite te bastardes carborundorum"
Here here!
Is this an invitation for everyone to share the space they're creating then?
My biggest sadness is that we're all trying to create something that works for us, so we're ending up with a bunch of neurodivergent clusters... we're splintering as we try to find and create a home.
Why does it need to be said?
Why is it so hard for people to see that helping one another makes the whole world stronger?
Stop using your "hate connections" as a bonding element, start looking for reasons to help, support and build each other up.
People on a beach in St. Petersburg, Florida, organized into a giant people-made “UNITE + RISE” sign on 9/1/25 Labor Day.
UNITE + RISE.
St. Petersburg, Florida.
Recognize that there is power in numbers, there is meaning in our voice.
The way it's shaking out, literally 99% of the United States will suffer the same outcome... the enemy of your enemy, as they say.
Just talk about it and refuse to accept it.
Yeah, agreed... but they're not trying to make the world MAGA, they're trying to remove the ability to oppose them.
In all seriousness, their MAGA base is now irrelevant, they're:
- already in power,
- have no opposition,
- taking steps to make elections irrelevant
I was just thinking about this jackass this morning...
What would an anti-yarvin look like?
He created a manifesto that the tech elite are lapping up... the opposition would be a manifesto that can mobilize the 99%.
Increasingly, it seems like their goal is to kill off any marginalized group. All they want are people who follow them mindlessly and are 'healthy' enough to join the army or work the fields.
They're just trying to create a replaceable labor class, as many healthy expendables as possible.
Everyone in the administration is being school on how the Trump Grift works, leaning into their ignorance and normalizing it for the masses who don't know any better.
I love that seeing "AuDHD" anywhere in someone's profile lets me know we're probably going to click.
Being able to spot "your people" with such a label is the single greatest benefit of these labels... which I otherwise hate.
I'm not a Devil's Advocate. I'm not arguing with you.
I'm simply reframing your perspective.
It's an AuDHD superpower, you're welcome!
I don't forget to eat... I resent that I have to stop what I'm doing TO each.
All that meal prep, chewing, digesting ... it's all there to fuck up my FLOW.
#JustAuDHDthings
My "brain functioning litmus" is to see how well I do with the daily NYT games, or the daily LinkedIn games.
If I'm struggling to do these little games, I know I'm "high support needs" that day... pop an Adderall, STAT!
AuDHD has me always looking for indicators!
If you struggle with ADHD, or AuDHD, or being "neurodivergent" ... or if you know someone who IS, I want to learn more and to help.
Message me here, or join the community.
I'm not an AI, I'm not a sales guy, I'm just an AuDHD brain that knows we can be more than we've been told.
Let's talk!
... your brain keeps fighting you on it, I'd love to talk.
I am not trying to 'sell you' or 'convert you', just hear you.
Every time someone comes to Chaos Cooperative (that's the name of the community) I'm over the moon and excited to learn more.
But I can't reach everyone. I need help.
... and so much warmth and empathy in the neurodivergent world, I just want to embrace everyone.
If you've ever felt alone or misunderstood because of your brain, I'd love to talk to you.
If you're trying to build something amazing, but...
I'm not a fan of sales. Not a fan of marketing.
But I LOVE talking to neurodivergent people. I could play the game of "what's your special interest" all day long!
I'm building a community for ADHD/AuDHD builders, founders, and creators... but it's a process.
There are so many amazing brains...
The Four Horsemen of ADHD
- context switching
- poor prioritization
- short working memory
- time blindness
You try to change tasks, then struggle to pick the right thing to work on, then get into something like a flow state, and forget all about the previous thing, then lose track of time, repeat
to be nobody but yourself
in a world that’s doing its
best to make you somebody
else, is to fight the hardest
battle you are ever going to
fight. never stop fighting.
-e.e. cummings
(What life as neurodivergent feels like. #adhd #autistic #audhd)
For all my life, I thought I was into EDC, or trying to have what I need on hand, because I was a Boy Scout.
"Be Prepared"
Turns out, ADHD means you like gadgets, and you're always trying to prevent disappointment.
“An idea left unfinished may bloom into something beautiful.”
“An important task will mysteriously disappear from your list.”
“Your creativity will take you far; just remember where you started.”
“A sudden burst of energy will lead you somewhere unexpected.”
