- Abstract: My honor's thesis, Neurodivergent Language: A Guidebook to Everyday Experiences, speaks to the "kairotic" experience in disclosing one's neurodivergency, veering away from legal oriented disclosure (documented diagnosis) to relational disclosure within formal institutions. Defining relational disclosure is not limited to just revealing your neurodivergence, but extends to also just one's own opinion, emotions, or vulnerable topics. “Kairotic” – derived from Kairos – the idea of the right place and right time. Usually, a neurodivergent's basis for the right place and right time is through the internalized social norms that are imprinted. However, constantly trying to abide by neurotypic established norms will often lead to inauthentic experiences for the neurodivergent individual. This honor's thesis is written in manual form to convey guidebook-like experience for a neurodivergent person trying to navigate their kairotic moments to make room for themselves. The methodology of deriving artifacts is through self-studied experiences, that is then coded and tagged. . . .
