And that\u2019s this list.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p dir=\"auto\">So without further ado, here are\u00a0<strong>21 signs you might be neurodivergent:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<ol>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"0\"><strong><a class=\"external-link\" href=\"https:\/\/neurodivergentmagic.com\/what-is-time-blindness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-tooltip-position=\"top\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/neurodivergentmagic.com\/what-is-time-blindness\/\">Time-Blindness<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nMany neurodivergent folks struggle to\u00a0<strong>accurately perceive the way that time passes.<\/strong>\u00a0Either we\u2019re engrossed in something and time passes far too quickly, or we\u2019re bored out of our minds and time seems to come to a complete stop. And estimating how long things will take?\u00a0<strong>Forget it.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"3\"><strong><a class=\"external-link\" href=\"https:\/\/neurodivergentmagic.com\/signs-of-executive-dysfunction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-tooltip-position=\"top\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/neurodivergentmagic.com\/signs-of-executive-dysfunction\/\">Executive Dysfunction<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nThere are actually\u00a0<strong>8 executive functions:<\/strong>\u00a0impulse control, emotional regulation, flexible thinking, working memory, self-monitoring, task initiation, planning &amp; prioritizing, and organization. And\u00a0<strong>executive dysfunction is when things go wrong in these areas.<\/strong>\u00a0This often looks like desperately wanting to do something and simply<strong>\u2026not being able to.<\/strong>\u00a0If you struggle with executive dysfunction, make sure you sign up for\u00a0<a class=\"external-link\" href=\"https:\/\/view.flodesk.com\/pages\/615f35eff88d548e68f5c948\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-tooltip-position=\"top\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/view.flodesk.com\/pages\/615f35eff88d548e68f5c948\">the\u00a0<strong>FREE first two modules<\/strong>\u00a0of my online course,\u00a0<strong>Executive Dysfunction: How to Cope When Your Brain Won\u2019t Cooperate.<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"6\"><strong>Task Multiplying<\/strong><br \/>\nHave you ever tried to do something seemingly simple, and all of the sudden, you find yourself doing 9 million other things? Like,\u00a0<strong>let\u2019s say you try to do the dishes,<\/strong>\u00a0but to do that, you have to clear off the counter, and while you\u2019re doing that, you see some bills that need paid, so you go to do that, but first you need to buy stamps, so now you\u2019re at the post office,\u00a0<strong>and nowhere near getting those dishes done.<\/strong>\u00a0This can happen to anyone, but it happens to neurodivergent folks\u00a0<strong>a lot.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"9\"><strong>Inconsistent Sleep Needs<\/strong><br \/>\nA lot of neurodivergent folks struggle with\u00a0<strong>insomnia or hypersomnia<\/strong>, or both at different times. Additionally, neurodivergent folks often deal with\u00a0<strong>execessive fatigue<\/strong>\u00a0due to the effort that\u2019s required to simply exist as a neurodivergent person in a neurotypical world.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"12\"><strong><a class=\"external-link\" href=\"https:\/\/neurodivergentmagic.com\/how-to-make-a-mood-tracker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-tooltip-position=\"top\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/neurodivergentmagic.com\/how-to-make-a-mood-tracker\/\">Emotional Dysregulation<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nDo you ever feel totally\u00a0<strong>overwhelmed by your emotions,<\/strong>\u00a0like they\u2019re a force outside of your control? Do you get depressed, like well and truly depressed, but it only lasts for a few hours and then it goes away? You might be struggling with\u00a0<strong>emotional dysregulation,<\/strong>\u00a0which is a popular symptom of many neurodivergencies.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"15\"><strong>Special Interests &amp; Hyperfixations<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Hyperfixations<\/strong>\u00a0are typically associated with ADHD while\u00a0<strong>special interests<\/strong>\u00a0tend to go along with autism, but the gist is, neurodivergent folks get\u00a0<strong>very excited about our interests.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"18\"><strong>Missing the Obvious, But Picking Up On the Subtle<br \/>\n<\/strong>A lot of neurodivergent folks may get labeled\u00a0<strong>\u201cspacey,\u201d \u201coblivious,\u201d or \u201cclueless\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0because of our tendency to miss seemingly obvious things, but what many neurotypical people don\u2019t realize is that we miss the obvious because we\u2019re\u00a0<strong>too busy picking up on the subtle.<\/strong>\u00a0You\u2019d be amazed at the miniscule details many neurodivergent people pick up on.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"21\"><strong>Sensory Sensitivities<\/strong><br \/>\nMany neurodivergent folks are either\u00a0<strong>hyper- or hyposensitive<\/strong>\u00a0to sensory experiences. This means some neurodivergent folks hear every electric device, and feel the tag on their shirt, and smell that banana peel you threw in the trash 3 days ago, while others appear\u00a0<strong>almost numb<\/strong>\u00a0to many sensory experiences.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"24\"><strong>Rejection Sensitivity<br \/>\n<\/strong>Are you hypersensitive to rejection, whether it\u2019s real or perceived? That\u2019s called\u00a0<strong>rejection sensitivity,<\/strong>\u00a0and because so many neurodivergent people experience rejection at school, work, and home, they become extra sensitive to it\u00a0<strong>and it affects them more than neurotypical people.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"27\"><strong><a class=\"external-link\" href=\"https:\/\/neurodivergentmagic.com\/what-is-auditory-processing-disorder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-tooltip-position=\"top\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/neurodivergentmagic.com\/what-is-auditory-processing-disorder\/\">Auditory Processing Disorder<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nDo you always pass hearing tests, but feel like in real life, you can\u2019t hear anything? You might have something called\u00a0<strong>auditory processing disorder,<\/strong>\u00a0a condition where your ears hear just fine, but your brain has trouble making sense of the signals.\u00a0<strong>It\u2019s more common amongst neurodivergent folks than among neurotypicals.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"30\"><strong>Meltdowns &amp; Shutdowns<br \/>\n<\/strong>Another common experience amongst neurodivergent folks are\u00a0<strong>meltdowns and shutdowns.<\/strong>\u00a0A meltdown is what happens when someone is overstimulated and simply can\u2019t take it anymore and they end up\u00a0<strong>externalizing<\/strong>\u00a0their frustration thorugh yelling, hitting themselves, crying, etc. A shutodwn, on the other hand, is when the person is overstimulated, can\u2019t take it anymore, and then\u00a0<strong>internalizes<\/strong>\u00a0their frustration through dissociation, internal spiraling, negative self-talk, etc.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"33\"><strong>Trouble with Eye Contact<\/strong><br \/>\nThis one is a classic sign of neurodivergence, but something a lot of people don\u2019t know is that\u00a0<strong>trouble with eye contact doesn\u2019t just mean avoiding eye contact.<\/strong>\u00a0It can also look like making way too much eye contact. Just generally not knowing how to handle eye contact is common amongst neurodivergent folks.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"36\"><strong>Detailed Inner World<br \/>\n<\/strong>So many neurodivergent people find that\u00a0<strong>their inner world is more interesting and fulfilling than the outer, \u201creal\u201d world.<\/strong>\u00a0I know for me personally, I lived inside my daydreams for years, especially when I was in school and bored with the lessons.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"39\"><strong>Narrow Range of Appropriate Stimulation<br \/>\n<\/strong>This basically means that for neurodivergent people,\u00a0<strong>it\u2019s really easy for us to be overstimulated,<\/strong>\u00a0but it\u2019s also really\u00a0<strong>easy for us to become understimulated as well.<\/strong>\u00a0It takes a lot of intentional self-regulation to stay within our narrow range of appropriate stimulation.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"42\"><strong>Low Frustration-Tolerance<br \/>\n<\/strong>Frustation-tolerance is the ability to withstand frustration without getting overwhelmed, and many neurodivergent people find that they actually have a\u00a0<strong>lower-than-average frustration-tolerance.<\/strong>\u00a0This means that little things can be more difficult to cope with.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"45\"><strong><a class=\"external-link\" href=\"https:\/\/neurodivergentmagic.com\/how-to-set-goals-without-shame\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-tooltip-position=\"top\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/neurodivergentmagic.com\/how-to-set-goals-without-shame\/\">Shame-Based Motivation<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong>This one is a little different from the other examples on this list because\u00a0<strong>shame-based motivation,<\/strong>\u00a0or the tendency to get stuff done by beating yourself up,\u00a0<strong>isn\u2019t inherent to being neurodivergent.<\/strong>\u00a0Instead, it\u2019s the result of the trauma that often goes hand-in-hand with neurodivergence. Being labeled as \u201cdifferent\u201d often leads to bullying, discrimination, or even abuse which encourages shame, and\u00a0<strong>shame-based motivation becomes the only way to get things done.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"48\"><strong>Stimming<br \/>\n<\/strong>Stimming, or self-stimulatory behavior, is basically whenever you\u00a0<strong>move your body in a way that allows you to relax, express yourself, or release pent up energy.<\/strong>\u00a0Bouncing your leg is a popular stim, along with hand flapping and biting your nails.\u00a0<strong>Everybody stims,<\/strong>\u00a0but neurodivergent people may derive additional pleasure or relief from stimming.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"51\"><strong>Very Literal or Very Metaphorical Communication Style<br \/>\n<\/strong>You\u2019ve probably heard that neurodivergent folks tend to be hyperliteral, but\u00a0<strong>did you know we can also be super metaphorical?<\/strong>\u00a0Some neurodivergent folks take things very literally, but others see everything through the lens of a metaphor. Basically,\u00a0<strong>we have a strict set of rules for seeing the world,<\/strong>\u00a0but the details of those rules depend on the individual person.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"54\"><strong>Black and White Thinking<br \/>\n<\/strong>Many neurodivergent people struggle with black and white thinking, and\u00a0<strong>we really struggle to find gray areas.<\/strong>\u00a0While most people experience black and white thinking in some areas of their life, neurodivergent folks often struggle with black and white thinking about everything\u00a0<strong>from time to their self-concept.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"57\"><strong>Nonlinear Thinking<br \/>\n<\/strong>Something I love about being neurodivergent is that\u00a0<strong>we tend to think in spirals rather than in straight lines.<\/strong>\u00a0Instead of going from Point A to Point B, we think in circles, but the circles are consistently moving forward, creating a spiral. This spiral thinking allows us to see things from multiple points of view and\u00a0<strong>try things multiple times in multiple different ways.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li dir=\"auto\" data-line=\"60\"><strong>No Brain Secretary for Our Brain CEO<br \/>\n<\/strong>One of my favorite metaphors to describe neurodivergence is this idea that\u00a0<strong>everyone\u2019s brain has a CEO that\u2019s in charge of making important decisions,<\/strong>\u00a0and neurotypical people have a brain secretary that keeps the unimportant stuff off the CEO\u2019s desk.\u00a0<strong>But neurodivergent people often don\u2019t have a secretary,<\/strong>\u00a0which means the CEO has to deal with everything all at once, making life a bit harder, for sure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Did you scroll to the bottom of this post because\u00a0<strong>it was a lot of text and you can\u2019t process it all right now?<\/strong>\u00a0Yeah, that\u2019s another sign you might be neurodivergent. Don\u2019t worry,\u00a0<strong>check out this YouTube video with the same information!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>P.S.<\/strong>\u00a0Are you now thinking\u00a0<strong>\u201cCrap, maybe I really am neurodivergent!\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0and you have about a million questions?
