Welcome to the Neurocultural Wildscape

The Neurocultural Wildscape is a framework that guides you through six areas of the neurodivergent experience, redefined in cultural terms. Backed by academic theory, this framework turns the concept of neurodivergent culture into well-defined conceptual terrain, plotting a transformational learning path in the process.

The result is a set of practices and tools that function as a compass pointing toward wholeness and integrity, instead of one that mostly points towards coping and neurotypicality.

Exploring the Wildscape is a journey to reclaiming your right to be different, your right to be a knower of yourself and your experiences, and a project in creating a vibrant, empowering home for your neurodivergent identity.

The 6 regions of the Wildscape

Inspired by Dabrowski's Theory of Overexcitabilities, the Neurocultural Wildscape contains six ecosystems to explore, each representing a dimension of neurodivergent experience:

  • Psychomotor

    Movement, energy, embodiment

  • Sensory

    Perception, input, environmental responsiveness

  • Imaginational

    Story, metaphor, world-building

  • Intellectual

    Pattern-seeking, systems thinking, analysis

  • Emotional

    Intensity, depth, relational experience

  • Temporal

    Time perception, pacing, rhythm
