My Why  

My name is Jay, and I established this space for individuals who have experienced feeling different or out of sync with societal norms. This is not due to faults, but rather differences in cognitive patterns and perspectives.

​

I am a clinician, historian, technologist, father, husband, and someone interested in mythology, and I identify as neurodivergent. My focus lies on the intersection of trauma and time, data and personal experience, cognition and culture. My approach to neurodiversity is informed by the perspective that it represents a variation in human evolution and offers insights into identity and history.

​

With academic backgrounds in history, special education, and counseling, I have both formal training and personal life experience. My work involves examining the historical roles of neurodivergent individuals and their contributions to societies, rituals, technologies, and worldviews, as well as considering how these experiences have been classified over time.

​

This blog serves as a platform for essays and discussions intended to promote broader understanding of neurodiversity. The aim is to move beyond traditional models and explore new frameworks for interpreting neurodivergent experiences and traits.

​

The content is directed toward those interested in exploring alternative perspectives on neurodiversity and its place in society and history. Readers are invited to subscribe for further analysis, frameworks, and discussions about the range of experiences within the neurodivergent community.

You were never broken.
You were never meant to fit.
You were designed to remember.
