Why Neurodivergent Content Creator Don't Ask For Help

Let me guess? You are like me. You are neurodivergent and have been building your business SOLO for quite some time. You know you need some help but every time you reach out it seems like the help you getting isn’t the help you need. You've felt like you didn’t belong in certain communities designed for content creators, entrepreneurs or business coaches? You may have been othered and not even know it.

Othering is a system of exclusion and marginalization based on having identities that are different than what’s normal. Othering is an invisible mechanism that excludes people outside the dominant culture from access to opportunities for content creators.

Othering can take subtle forms on social media platforms or in coaching spaces. Othering can look like:

• Ignoring people’s ideas, work, or opinions
• Not giving people the benefit of the doubt
• Failing to share important information
• Avoidance
• Withholding resources
• Excluding people from meetings or social events

This practice of othering is harmful when building a community and to the members.
