My goodness the noise! Right now as I type this, annoyingly someone has begun to cut a hedge outside. Short bursts of ear piercing machinery. I also have music playing. I thought it may help cover the hedge trimmer but nope...instead there is now a cocophony competing for my brains' focus. One will have to go and I know better than to grab my neighbours hedge trimmer (not a euphamism) and launch it! I often play out these funny scenarios and sometimes can drift into that imaginery world for quite sometime...but I must focus on this! I have to get this done because I need to share with you all the learning I have done (some call it a 'special interest', I call it certification in shiny frames). I need to reach you and coach you and bring out your brilliance. I am a cheerleader and champion of my fellow neurodivergents. I want us all to thrive. I want us to find where we fit and know the huge value and unique skills we bring to this world. Is it normal to ask for crayola crayons (other brands are available) every year for your birthday, as a child, just so that you can colour organise them in various differerent ways?...Hell yeah! It's my normal. It made me happy and to this day, aqua marine is still my favourite colour. I will coach you to celebrate your quirks. We will laugh, we will work and together, we will carve out a life where you can be yourself, advocate for yourself with confidence and say to the world...This is Me!
