Are you neuroqueer? You are, or think you might be, gifted, trans, ADHD, gay, autistic, poly, or a highly sensitive person.

Because they start within us, they often go unnoticed, by ourselves or others, for at least a while. But we’ve always felt them, somehow. We know we are different; we feel we don’t belong or can’t fit in. It seems like everyone else got a copy of a script or rulebook that we didn’t. It’s a struggle to know who or how to be.
