Super Neurodivergence: AuADHD & Kink

Mxstress shares their personal experiences as a super neurodivergent kinkster: Autistic & ADHD (also Anxious, Depressed, PTSD'd). They elaborate on their lifelong neurodivergent experiences as a South Asian Indian, POC, Femme, AFAB, Queer, Aromantic human and how those identities inform their unique and creative approach to neurodivergent kink. Mxstress presents their attempts to harness the inherent chaos and contradiction of their neurodivergence^2. They lay out the tools, infrastructure, methods, & mechanisms they've embraced to lean into their super neurodivergence in kink, AuADHD. This session is a work-in-praxis: a session co-constructed by Mxstress and attendees from any/all points along the spectrum of neurodiversity (e.g. both neurodivergent & neurotypical folks). Mxstress and participants work in collaboration to reframe neurodivergence in kink from deficit modeling to asset modeling as they practice applying tools from the neurodivergent paradigm, informed by the neurodivergent movement, while leaning into the strengths of neurodiversity.
