neurodiversity + empathy

mental health (MH, not Monster Hunter) is tremendously important, but i think the role of discourse surrounding neurodiversity in those conversations is severely understated. ## what's neurodiversity? in general terms, every person's brain works a little bit differently, and depending on the degree of difference, an individual might have a harder time dealing with particular aspects of life/functioning in society. these differences are the traits by which you can be considered neurodivergent (ND), AKA diverging from a hypothetical neurotypical (NT) brain that enables a person to live a healthy life and fulfill society's expectations without accommodations. for example, folks with an autism diagnosis might have a different response to a situation than an NT person, which may cause confusion or otherwise give the autistic person a less favorable outcome. ## anyways my goal isn't to wear a fedora and psychoanalyze everyone--i just want people to recognize that having quirks, big and small, is totally normal. MH/ND discussion is welcome here, because sharing perspectives is how we get to understand each other's differences and figure out how to help each other along the road to a happy and healthy life. # summary of my neurodivergence - received treatment for anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms - aphantasia (i just see black when i close my eyes and try to imagine something) - weak visual processing (i'm slow to convert what i see with my eyes to information i can reason about, great for video games, i know) - high physical sensitivity (touch, body awareness, i love exercise and stuff) - high sensitivity for taste and smell (love food, whisky, and coffee, easily tilted by bad smells) - high aural sensitivity (concentration and relaxation are easily disrupted by sounds, to much frustration) - not seeking formal diagnoses right now, i'm fine accepting that i have to navigate real life differently than most people

mixed martial arts

i currently train in Jeet Kune Do under Inosanto lineage. JKD is sometimes known as the first modern form of MMA and it predates the use of the term. prior to studying JKD, i wrestled in middle school and high school, practiced Kendo for a couple of years in college, and learned boxing while crosstraining for a half marathon in 2019. once the lockdowns started in 2020, i fell off of training and picked up martial arts again in 2023 ## my component arts Kali Panantukan Jun Fan Kung Fu Savate Muay Thai Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Machado)

stance on monetization

### PLEASE [AD-BLOCK](https://github.com/cleanlock/VideoAdBlockForTwitch) THIS STREAM (sorry mobile viewers) if you like the emotes that the incredible [minz](https://twitch.tv/minz) made for me, subscribers get to use 'em all over Twitch and while it is very sweet of you to give me bits or [(non-refundable) tips](https://streamelements.com/phenotype__/tip), i'm quite certain that your money would be better spent elsewhere!! that being said, my subscribers do get preference for whatever fun things i plan, as a token of my appreciation
