Divergences does not approach neurodivergence as diagnosis or identity, but instead becomes a lens through which the norm itself turns strange—an alternate perceptual logic capable of reshaping how we think about intimacy, infrastructure, technology, and care.

Across essays, poems, stories, memoir, and hybrid texts, Divergences asks what happens when perception runs on different circuitry: when language fractures into vibration and pulse, when politeness and coherence reveal themselves as imposed postures rather than neutral baselines. This collection resists sentimental narratives of difference. There is no recovery arc here. Nervous systems appear instead as sites of conflict and capacity—hyper-attentive, analytical, erotically charged, exhausted, lucid.

Form carries the argument. Some pieces pulse in fragments and diaristic rupture; others move in tidal repetition, inviting skimming and sensory drift; while theory and confession coexist without hierarchy. The self appears composite—collaged and choral—language broken open to reveal the seams of diagnosis, gender, pain, and survival.

Throughout, the human is decentered. Bodies leak into animals, machines, landscapes. Stimming becomes cosmology; overload becomes method. The result is less a statement than a field recording: overlapping frequencies, friction and harmony in equal measure. Divergences does not explain neurodissidence from a distance. It inhabits it—rigorous, volatile, and formally alive.
