Car chaos

The car clean-out trap.
It always starts with the best of intentions: grab a trash bag, pick up a few things, done in five minutes.

But then I find a single sock.
And a granola bar wrapper that looks… vintage.
And suddenly, I’m knee-deep in a full-blown excavation, like an archaeologist uncovering layers of my past road trips.

By the end, I’m staring at a collection that makes no sense:

  • 47 water bottles (all half-empty).
  • Three unmatched mittens.
  • Enough receipts to wallpaper a room.
  • And at least one mystery object I definitely don’t remember buying.

This is classic neurodivergent car chaos. One “quick” task snowballs into a marathon, complete with side quests and a few existential questions.

But here’s the flip side: when the chaos clears, it feels like freedom.
Like you’ve wrestled back control of your little moving universe.
Even if it only lasts until the next road trip snack run.

    The world calls it “too much.” Too intense. Too obsessive. But what they call obsession, we call focus – the kind that moves mountains. Neurodivergent brains can fall so deeply into a subject that hours disappear. And yes, sometimes that looks impractical from the outside. But inside? It’s pure creation. It’s discovery. It’s the kind…
