This is a place to think together.
i have adhd and ocd. my brain works in patterns, loops, and connections that don’t always translate well on my own.
for a long time i thought that meant something was wrong with me.
now i think it might just mean i was never meant to think alone.
we’ve spent so much time separating the way people think— labeling what’s typical, what’s different, what needs to be fixed.
but what if the point isn’t to sort brains?
what if it’s to use them together.
this is a space for brains that don’t think in straight lines— and also for the ones that do.
a place to:
share unfinished thoughts
get unstuck
borrow momentum
and build on each other’s ideas
this is one big group project.
so a few things matter:
be thoughtful.
be kind.
be creative.
be constructive.
you don’t have to agree with people— but if you engage, do it in a way that helps someone think better, not smaller.
ask questions.
explain your perspective.
be willing to step outside of your own.
and maybe even help create a third perspective— something better than either side started with.
this isn’t about ignoring health or medical needs I obviously wouldn’t tell you to not treat something – I treat my mental health issues with therapy and medication.
this is just about also making space for the strengths, patterns, and ways of thinking that come with being different whether it’s from a spectrum disorder, life experience, educational background. It’s to relearn how to exercise critical thinking skills and highlight strengths of neurodivergent and divergent brains, and also a place for me to rant about my experience with ADHD. Idk if will probably turn into something else next week but that is the fun part of my brain, when the chaos turns into art.
you don’t have to have it figured out to share it here.
let’s make things a little better, one thought at a time.
Just keep swimming. xx Littlefish
