Welcome to Life on a Different Frequency.

You’re going to fit in just fine. I promise.

Firstly, let’s get a few thing straight.

There is Nothing Wrong with You.

Life is not a fairy story or a folk tale or a fable.

You are not some kind of complex Goldilocks.

You are just right. You’re actually perfect, except for that mole on your back. You should get that checked.

Here’s What Someone Should Have Told You Long Ago.

Being “gifted” isn’t so much about your intelligence. It’s about how your brain works.

At least, that’s true for a lot of gifted adults who are also neurodivergent adults.

At Life on a Different Frequency, we understand that being gifted is more than just a high IQ – it’s a unique way of experiencing the world.

Our (admittedly fledgling) community is a sanctuary for those who have often felt ‘too much’ and yet, not enough.

Here, your deep sensitivity, emotional intensity, and profound curiosity are not just accepted – they are celebrated.

Understanding Your Unique Neurological Makeup

Let me preface this by saying i am not a doctor or a therapist.

Everything I say here is a truth I’ve discovered for myself, with the help of those doctors and therapists which, again, I am not.

You are not alone in your journey.

I See You.

I recognize the distinct neurological makeup that makes you more open to the stimuli of the world, leading to a richer, albeit sometimes overwhelming, experience of life.

My goal, as a writer and as someone who shares your neurodivergence, is to help you navigate this intensity, transforming what the world calls ‘too much’ into your greatest strength.

Finding Your Tribe

From early development to adulthood, the gifted experience can be isolating.

But it doesn’t have to be.

Life on a Different Frequency is your community – a place where, over time and as the community grows, you can connect with others who share your unique perspective.

Say goodbye to the feeling of being a Martian and hello to a world where your intensity is your identity.

Transforming Misunderstanding into Empowerment

For too long, gifted individuals have grown up internalizing the belief that there is something wrong with them.

I am here to change that narrative. Together, we will explore the beauty of being gifted, turning societal misunderstanding into a journey of self-acceptance and empowerment.

Join us at Life on a Different Frequency – where being ‘too much’ is just right.

Making the Most of Neurodivergent Creativity

in another life, I wrote a Creativity book called The Leonardo Trait: How Creative People Can Turn Creative Eccentricity into a Life You Love.

After I started working on Life on a Different Frequency, I realized I want to write about neurodivergent creativity.

So I am going to do that here, while still exploring other aspects of living and adulting as a neurodiverger.

Come On In! The coffee and Cookies Are Over There ==>

Oh. It looks like Mike ate all the cookies again. That Mike.

But you can read the blog, learn about me and the site, and connect.

Don’t worry about Mike. He won’t bother you. He left when someone ate all the cookies.
