I've always been told I'm a creative person. Later in my life, I was diagnosed with adult ADHD and realized creativity was a symptom all along! I got my bachelor's degree in Genetics and I'm aspiring to become a psychiatrist. I also enjoy creating videos, running, learning new languages, playing games, and developing new recipes!

Years ago we considered ADHD, and Autism mental disorders. But gradually, we're understanding it's unfair to call such conditions a "disorder" when they come with so many positive aspects. So we're beginning to use a better term; Neurodiversity. Einestein perfectly articulates it: “Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” Sometimes the rules and standards set in our societies are causing problems instead of solving them, by considering us all birds and demanding us all to fly, while many of us are fishes destined to swim. We should learn that there's not just one standard for everyone, we should be more inclusive and try to design a world where both birds and fishes feel belonged and flourished.

About 10 years ago, my brother recommended me to watch a video which was the first ever TED talk I've seen. I was inspired and curious to watch more similar videos, so I searched on YouTube and built a habit of binging on TED and TEDx talks!

Singing, giving good advice, and problem solving.
