About the Neurodivergent Professor

Have you ever felt . . . different? Like an outcast? Like even your family didn’t really understand you?

Are you an out-of-the-box thinker? Do you struggle with ‘normal’ people and the things they like and talk about?

Do you often feel out of place, even with your friends and family?

I get it. I’ve felt like that my whole life. And I’ve always been looking for people like me. It’s hard to find each other.

So I built this website to share my podcasts, articles, and videos about ALL THE STUFF I like to think about. That you like to think about. That WE like to think about.

I share this content to contribute to a discourse between like minded folks like you.

I really needed something like this when I was a kid, and I’m here for those people. People like you.

Most of my blog posts introduce my podcast episode, which is the main focus of my work. You can read the supporting post and find links to the podcast and the video (they are the same material).

I also do interview series about topics that interest me including the ‘Are vs. Should Problem’ and future interviews about neurodiversity.

Every once in a while I will share an article I post on Medium. Medium is a paid writer’s site but you can read a few articles free each month if you are not a member. There’s a lot of good writing there.

You can join my email list here, or subscribe on your favorite podcast app and/or YouTube.

I consider this site to be a small contribution to a much larger and growing group. This group is comprised of like-minded people making their own efforts to share their thoughts. These efforts, collectively, will change the future.

Join me in tearing down the walls of conformity, letting our freak flags fly, and normalizing diversity. Doing so will not only allow us to thrive as individuals, it will improve humanity and planet Earth.

    Can We Stop Enabling?

    “The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.” ― Charles Bukowski Do you ever think about this? Can you think of an example from your life? Sometimes, it seems we’re surrounded by idiots.  And they’re loud. This ‘false arrogance’ is annoying. But what’s more…

    Learning About Where We Goofed Up

    What went right? Do you ever wonder how we got here? Do you ever think about what has changed over hundreds of thousands of years of human evolution? The past few decades have seen exponential growth in technology. Smartphones. Passenger trips to space. Electric vehicles. Lots of crazy new tech. In most of our lifetimes, technological…

    Can We Treat Death as a Mentor?

    Ok, I know, this sounds weird but hear me out.  Humans are freaked out by death. I’m not saying I’m any different, just drawing attention to this in hopes of reducing our suffering. Today I’m wondering what life would be like if we could change our relationship with death. The Toltec civilization of Central America considered…
