Full color spectrum
On Synesthesia & Neurodivergent Thinking

I am not
'too sensitive.'
I am
super
sensitive.
It is an awesome power
with bizarre risks
that come with
full spectrum
‘disorders.'
The full spectrum of
diversity is reflected in
the full spectrum of
its forms.
We forget that
the rainbow we perceive
is a slice of

A slice that's

possibilities
from the lies we tell
each other
to cover for the
lies we tell
ourselves
so we can pretend we are
on the
'objective'
end of
the (a) spectrum
as if the spectrum is
a line
linear with a
beginning
middle
and end
.
Not a tangled ball of
yarn
zig zagging back around in directions
impossible
until
you can't tell
where it ends
where it all begins
where the middle is
In the full spectrum
'crazy' is conceivable
'weird' is normal
because there is
no order
and nothing is
‘ordinary' - or
everything is
‘ordinary’ - because
every thing is
every one is
extra-
ordinary -
infinitely unique

equations
combinations
permutations
of senses

Categories that define sections
Of the spectrum -

But in order to

Businessmen say

depending on the

then
it is the QUEEN who
