Being neurodivergent can feel like an endless storm of chaos; between juggling a million thoughts at once, being overstimulated, and feeling stuck, that can make us desperate to make rules or structure to create some order in our minds and lives. This talk explores that dissonance—those conflicting yet coexisting aspects of chaos and stability—in order to understand our neurodiverse experiences and needs better, in hopes of finding a balance that works uniquely for each of us.
