You pick up a diary titled "The Neurodivergent Traveller" what do you hope to read about inside?

As some of you may know, I identify as being neurodivergent. I am a gender fluid, gender nonconforming, non-binary person. However, I am also a writer, poet, and diarist. Being on the autism spectrum one thing that I take great pleasure in is writing. I even love writing these forum posts to connect with all of the other lovely and inclusive people on the forums. This post invites you to reflect a little bit, importantly, please keep in mind that there is no right or wrong answer to the scenario below:  

It is a delightfully warm, sunny and friendly day in Australia today. Australia is content, Her lands are evergreen, positive, and inclusive. You are heartened, because today Australia gives you Her blessing. Australia gives you Her blessing by way of putting in your path on your walk into work, a diary. On the cover of this diary you read: The Neurodivergent Traveller: a Diary. 

 

What do you all hope to read about in the diary?

Very interesting.

 

For me, I hope to read about a neurodivergent person's journey in a neurotypical world - from birth to death. To read of their experiences, how they are perceived by others, how they perceive themselves. To read of their challenges as well as their superpowers. To show how 'finding the right tribe' helps them to be who they are.

 

I've read a few books written from the perspective of neurodivergent people, and the books were an eye-opener. @Jake63

Your reply came in the nick of Tyme!

So why do you think you are interested in reading about the perspectives and life experiences of a person who is neurodiverse? Would you also like to read about how the Neurodivergent Traveller interacted with other ND people and NT people?

When it comes to you reading about the interactions the ND Traveller has with NT people and travellers, what do you think you will end up reading?
