To learn more about my journey and personal experiences, you may read about my story here: About Me. Updated : WHO AM I? | by Mika Oka | Medium

When writers read, they get to enter different worlds and perspectives, and that kind of experience teaches them to think critically and analyze what they're reading. They become patient and observant, which is handy in everyday life. Go find a writer, if you need someone to listen to your long-winded story.

Writing is like therapy, but cheaper. It's way better than bottling up our emotions and exploding like a shaken soda can.

Writers are the real MVPs of reading, listening, critical thinking, and self-reflection. They're the empathetic superheroes that can connect with people on a deeper level. Hats off to all the writers out there!

A little about me:

I'm an adult diagnosed with high-functioning autism and Bipolar II Disorder, though my ASD diagnosis came later than I would have preferred. It did help to clear up some of the confusion that had been following me around for years. On top of this, I am also a partially deaf disabled person who is still trying to figure out where I fit into the world.

Being a neurodivergent means that I often find myself stuck in a limbo between creativity, madness, and total mental flow or mental block, depending on my condition at any given time.

There are times when my creativity flows freely, resulting in a constant flow of poetry, ranting spells, and life’s musings on whatever subject catches my attention. There are moments when I struggle to convey my thoughts and feelings effectively, both verbally and in written form, due to my condition that impedes my ability to express myself.

Your support holds immense significance for a disabled neurodivergent. If you’d like to show your support, you can consider buying me a coffee here. My collection of eBooks and classic titles is available here. Your kindness is greatly appreciated. You can also connect with me here.
