“ Being a singular woman is not a burden, but a gift ”
When tests confirmed that I was gifted in 2008, I had a mixed realisation :
I FINALLY had the beginnings of an explanation for my feeling of being permanently out of step with others and my difficulty in understanding the world in which I lived.
BUT
When I talked about it, people reacted in an avoidant or confrontational way. And I couldn’t understand why!
This experience overwhelmed me and sparked my desire to study the “social problem” around neurodivergent people and the pathological approach around cognitive disabilities. This is how my commitment to changing the narratives on neurodivergence started.
Alongside my career as a leader working for large luxury companies, I experienced how much “divergent” thinking was misunderstood, even though it offered valuable new ideas. I conducted extensive research and analysis on the topic of neurodiversity. and developed a new approach, inspired by the work of psychiatrists Kazimerz Dabrowski and Carl Jung.
Singularity
In the universe, the Singularity is the point where we move from the known to the unknown. Singulars have amazing cognitive abilities that allow them to manage the unknown thanks to their different, intense, and minority operating mode within the population. While focusing on their disabilities, we tend to forget their super powers.
Neurodiversity & Singularity
Neurodivergent are innovators by nature and have a place at the forefront of the unpredictable world we are facing
“
”
To be singular
is, above all, to be
Intense
A singular person perceives the stimulations of the world with a strong intensity and reacts to them in an amplified way.
This often creates gaps with others and can generate suffering and misunderstanding. It also leads to a deep questioning of social codes and the way the world works.
Neuroatypical people often combine one or multiple overexcitabilities such as Intellectual, Emotional, Imaginational, Sensual and Psychomotor intensity.
Today, I dedicate my time and energy to change the narratives on neurodiversity and promote the talent of neurodivergent people.
