Understanding Your Daily Struggles
If you're here, daily life probably feels harder than it should. Maybe conversations drain you, simple tasks feel impossible, or you can't figure out why everyone else seems to have an instruction manual you never received.
You're not broken. Your brain just works differently in a world designed for different types of processors. The friction you experience comes from this mismatch, not from any flaw in you.
This guide helps you understand why specific situations create challenges and gives you practical tools to navigate them. It's organized around real daily experiences, not clinical categories.
