Stop apologizing for how your mind works.
Start naming what Neurosparklers have always known but never had words for. Until now.

Some things can't be understood.
But they can be recognized with the Just Right Words.

A weekly publication for Neurosparklers and the Nearlynormies who love us but can't understand how we see it/It/IT.

One Just Right Word every week. No spam, ever.

The Just Right Words to explain how you are built

STIQS, not Symptoms.

Learn to Think Differently about Thinking Differently

Typical neurodivergence language focuses on diagnostic symptoms, traits, idiosyncrasies, and quirks as a means for identifying what is wrong with us.

But for unconventional high achievers, those same descriptors are what makes us brilliant when we are allowed to optimize for our own operating system.

STIQS rethinks the words we use to understand what makes Neurosparklers and Nearlynormies different without pathologizing or diagnosing each other.

The Foundational Principle

The Chooser Gets to Choose

The foundational principle of Get to No University. Learn the difference between what is a choice and what is simply how you are built.

The one question that changes everything

Am I the Chooser of what you wish I would change?

S

Strengths

What you do effortlessly that exhausts everyone else. Not your résumé strengths. Your cognitive architecture.

T

Temperament

The operating temperature of your nervous system. Why some environments are fuel and others are friction.

I

Intellect

The speed and shape of your thinking. That was never a deficit in attention. It is a difference in processing.

Q

Quirks

The features that were called flaws. The things you apologized for before you had the Just Right Words for what they actually are.

S

Story

The narrative you’ve been living inside. We don’t just name what you are. We help you see how you got here, and choose where you go next.

Get to No University

A foolproof formula
for failing fabulously.

Get to No University is not a course. It's a cognitive operating system built by a Neurosparkler, for Neurosparklers and the Nearlynormies who are willing to learn a new language.

We don't teach you how to succeed by someone else's definition. We teach you how to identify the difference between what is a choice and what is simply how you are built, and design a life that fits your cognitive operating system.

What you'll stop doing after the first month:

  • Apologizing for how your mind works
  • Explaining yourself before you're allowed to speak
  • Translating your experience into Nearlynormie-safe language
  • Treating your operating system like a character flaw
  • Asking whether you're too much
  • Waiting for someone else to give you permission to be recognized
