What You'll Find Here

Every "Just the Right Word" post defines a term that's crucial for understanding neurosparkle—that unique intersection of giftedness and neurodivergence.

These definitions matter because precision in language creates precision in understanding. When we have the right words, we can think more clearly about complex experiences. We can communicate more effectively about what we need. We can stop using approximations when exact terms exist.
