This is somehow the second part of my previous post: I am not always like this.

I’ve been pondering to make another neurodivergent space, which could be related to this one here but it would be different. That would be over at https://sh.itjust.works, … sooo … the name would “check out”:

!neurodivergent@sh.itjust.works
( copy this into your search bar i your server can’t yet find the community: https://sh.itjust.works/c/neurodivergent … yeah right, there it is! 8-) )

We see, that would not just be yet another channel about autism (or neurodiversity anyway), but i would like it to be a divergent playground, so to say. Or an exhibit? A collective? – Whatever. I know that divergent people are able to do that art of a special kind. Especially the awakened ones, they will be able to let something come through them. … Just what i don’t know is – if there would actually be someone who understands what i mean, ! LOL !

When i play my drum, and i can have something come through, and i just watch my hands do the thing – as soon as thinking comes in the way then it doesn’t work. Then i know, i’m lucid. I can just be. And it will be something that is divergent from everything else.

With that i also mean irony for example. I myself can write in a way that there is kind of another dimension in it. If i’m awake, that is. When the way in which i’m writing something reflects the thing which i’m writing about, and it just so happens. That’s irony at its best. …

Perhaps i let speak Ayla Nereo’s Dawn To Flight: *weep*.
This song made my company a year ago. It was so very talking to me. It is telling about her transition toward just letting herself do the way she does things, apparently talking to her angel. The song does exactly that – the way the song tells a story and the way in which she likely wrote many of her songs – letting it talk – is in the meaning of the story itself. I would call that divergent art. Ayla is truely unique. Lyrics are found on the bandcamp page farther down.
Ayla is what i would see as neurodivergent (just check out her lyrics!) but i do not think she is typically autistic. Her art is one-of-a-kind, though.

So, that would be the place to collect some neurodivergent shit that just works, like Ayla’s, or whatever people bring in as their own speciality. We do not need to be geniuses. Cheerfulness very welcome, as the aim is mutual enabling. Uniqueness counts. No one will pity you for that! –

Of course, anyone who came there for talk about autism etc. would be redirected to hereabout, or the more belligerent/scientific autism place at beehaw.org.

Anyone up for this? Moderate even? Link and crosspost?

… And to be more clear, i’m still uncertain (oh that again!), and i have yet to catch an idea of what i would be doing there, myself! I’m quite sleepless atm, therefore it might take time. ;-)

    I think that this and your previous post are fantastic! You have a talent for deep thought and writing. However, before I give thorough responses to your posts, I need to think about them further. The reason I’m commenting now is that I saw that you are considering creating a neurodivergent community. I encourage you to get it started ASAP before the influx of reddit diaspora come in, even if just to get the name/link for the community before someone else takes it. I’ll get back to you on the rest of your posts.
