Kenji Mizukami_

Psychology. Works with gifted, ADHD and autistic children and adults in Santiago, Chile.

I am Kenji Mizukami_, and I work with minds that do not fit standard containers.

For sixteen years, I have been immersed in the field of neurodevelopmental diversity: giftedness, ADHD, autism, and the complex territory where these overlap, known as twice-exceptionality.

I am moved by a specific kind of suffering: the exhaustion of being very fast in a slow environment, the grief of the late-identified adult who finally understands why nothing ever felt easy, the confusion of the twice-exceptional child who is told they are gifted when they succeed and lazy when they cannot. These minds are not broken. They are complex, asynchronous, intense.
