Do you have a diagnosed neurological ‘disorder?’ If so, then you might have wondered once in a while, “Why am I not ‘normal’? Why can everyone else get along in this fogged world?”. Have you felt that some invisible layer separated you from your peers? If so, you are not alone. In fact, you are not disabled; a non-inclusive environment is disabling for everyone who does not fit in.
Neurodiversity refers to differences in the brain structures of human beings and variances in sociability, learning, and mood. In this context, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurological dis ..read more

The term “OCD” has been recklessly thrown around in order to describe people with this tendency. However, having the characteristic alone is not valid enough to classify someone as having OCD. It’s more complicated than just wanting to keep your backpack organized or cringing when you see a messy room. Being organized is a potential trait of OCD, but when it hinders your day-to-day activities, it becomes an unhealthy obsession. That ..read more

Sam Gerry had felt it.
It started on a seemingly random February morning and, although he had become familiar with its lesser counterpart, there was a sudden albeit strange feeling weighing on his shoulders for the day.
Gerry had traded in his eighth-grade adolescence for the golf course, playing “all day, every day”. This dedication came with its struggles, specifically with burnout from the heavy workload. Though, that morning, Gerry acknowledged that there was something more.
“One of the symptoms that I was experiencing when I felt different was ..read more
