Welcome to my Personal Website
Hi there! My name is Don Orkoskey, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to my personal website. Here, I’ll be sharing my journey as a photographer, designer, and teacher, and how my neurodivergence has shaped both my life and the work that I do.
Embracing Neurodivergence
Neurodivergence refers to the natural variations in how our brains work. It encompasses conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and more. For me, being neurodivergent means that my brain processes information and experiences the world in unique ways.
While growing up, I faced challenges that were often misunderstood or overlooked. However, as I embraced my neurodivergence, I discovered that it was not a limitation, but rather a source of strength and creativity. It allowed me to see the world from different perspectives and find innovative solutions to problems.
The Influence on my Work
As a photographer, I strive to capture the beauty and essence of the world through my lens. My neurodivergence has given me a unique way of seeing things, allowing me to notice details and patterns that others might overlook. This perspective adds depth and a fresh perspective to my photographs.
Similarly, as a designer, my neurodivergence fuels my creativity. I approach projects with a different mindset, often thinking outside the box and challenging traditional design norms. This allows me to create visually stunning and thought-provoking designs that stand out from the crowd.
As a teacher, my neurodivergence has taught me the importance of inclusivity and understanding. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for all my students, regardless of their neurodivergent or neurotypical backgrounds. I believe that everyone has unique talents and perspectives to offer, and it’s my role to nurture and celebrate those differences.
Embracing Neurodiversity
One of my goals is to raise awareness and promote acceptance of neurodiversity. Society often focuses on the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals, but it’s essential to recognize and celebrate their strengths as well.
Through my work, I aim to challenge stereotypes and highlight the many contributions that neurodivergent individuals can make to various fields. I believe that by embracing neurodiversity, we can create a more inclusive and vibrant society that values and appreciates the unique abilities of all individuals.
