We crave Lego.
Furniture assembly.
Construction.
Definitive rights and wrongs.
Not because we’re rigid.
Not because we’re simple.
But because in a world that constantly betrays our senses,
we long for something tangible —
something where the rules hold,
where patterns stay,
where right and wrong are knowable.
But here’s the other thing you need to know:
We don’t shy away from the wrongs.
We embrace the wrongs.
Because without the wrongs,
we never know the rights.
Without the failures,
we never learn the shape of success.
We know what it is to miss.
To stumble.
To screw it up a hundred times before it clicks.
But we also know:
You will forever miss every shot you don’t take.
Don’t let the fear of striking out keep you from swinging the bat.
This is the heartbeat of the neurodivergent mind:
building, breaking, learning, swinging, missing, trying again.
Not because we’re fearless —
but because we are wired to survive through the rebuild.
