Sometimes for us neurodivergent minds, we traverse between dimensions, causing the likes of reality to blur. We are both terrified and comfortable at the same time. I get lost in the confusion, but I also know exactly where I am. Really well articulated Mr A

Ty Ariya. Glad my work resonated with another neurodiverse club member!

Did you know then that you had to come up with your system, or was it an intuitive move?

Little bit of both. Ivy league schools are not nice.

How did you refill the energy? The process sounds draining.

I can hyperfocus on a given task. The time spent in deep work is a relief for me.

I was surprised at my ability to be certain in my action in life-threatning scenarios.

I once partook in personality analysis as an intern for some consulting firm - it was different than any other I've encountered. The premise was that there are 3 of you inside (personality-wise).

1. At peace / at rest.

Your natural you when at home or with friends.

2. At work / busibee / trying te get shit done.

3. CRYSIS Management

Everything is on fire and you have 12 seconds to decide.

The third one was the only one where I was at peace, where I excelled. When nothing else matters , my mind always B-lines for the correct "exit". I've had my fair share of near-death experiences since ; they all confirmed this <upon extensive retro-analysis analysis.

I wish there was an easy way to get onboarded to a position requiring such skills (or luck?) . It's hard to convey, on a resume or in an interview... I have no idea what I'm doing but when shit hits the fan, I nail it out of the park everytime.
