This excerpt, likely from a book or personal account titled "Lessons from a Life Embracing Neurodiversity," offers an individual's unique philosophy on life, particularly for those with developmental differences. The author explains to his daughters that it's impossible to live without inconveniencing others, so they should help others proactively as an apology for future inconveniences. He also advises them to view instances of being deceived or used as "tuition" for learning whom to avoid. Instead of seeking happiness, he encourages them to eliminate what makes them unhappy, believing that what remains will ultimately be happiness. For those with inherited neurodivergent traits, he suggests that if a path isn't working, they should leave it and try another, or create their own if no other options exist. The author shares his personal journey, including numerous career changes and a late-in-life diagnosis of a developmental disorder, which ultimately led him to embrace his strengths and create his own path rather than conforming to societal expectations. He also suggests leveraging AI as a tool and ally when traditional support systems are lacking, transforming perceived weaknesses into opportunities for growth and self-acceptance.
