A community that refuses to give up
If you’ve ever wished for clarity at 2 a.m., support that actually makes sense, or guidance from people who have lived neurodivergence and real neurodivergent lived-experience support — this is your place.
Real tools. Real stories. Real support. Not theory. Not judgment. Not overwhelm.
Why this exists
After a 30-year career in tech consulting, Laura stepped away to help Chris — a recent college graduate with an exceptional communication voice — build purposeful work around his strengths and lived experience.
Decoding Divergent is a nonprofit vision: a place where Chris can build a career, families can find human guidance and community, and neurodivergent individuality is understood rather than pathologized. This is real neurodivergent family support.
This is lived-experience education, not a clinical practice.
Laura and Chris — a mom and son who’ve lived this, learned from it, and now help others through it.
