Room to Understand Your Wiring

How much of your life have you spent trying to make your brain less inconvenient for everyone else?

Book 5 of Musings of a Recovering Executive, Grounded in How I’m Wired, is personal. I wrote it for my neurodivergent friends, for those finding language for their experiences, and for the people who want to understand us better.

Here are five things I want readers to hear:

1️⃣ Looking capable doesn’t mean it comes easily.

You can deliver the results and still be exhausted by what it takes to get there.

2️⃣ The mask is real.

So are the difficulties beneath it. Being good at hiding your struggle doesn’t make that struggle disappear.

3️⃣ You can need support before you know how to ask for it.

Identifying what helps, putting it into words, and advocating for yourself can be difficult, too.

4️⃣ Finding your comfort matters.

How you learn, communicate, work, and recover deserves consideration. You deserve room to discover what works for you.

5️⃣ You don’t have to spend your whole life apologizing for how you’re wired.

Understanding yourself can change the questions you ask and the choices you make.

My daughter’s journey helped me understand my own. This book grew from that understanding and from decades of trying to find my place.

If you recognize yourself here, I hope these pages help you feel seen and put words to something you’ve carried for years.

Grounded in How I’m Wired is available now on Amazon, you can find it here:
