The Origin of Neurospicy Poems™
A new lived-experience poetic genre created by Neurospicy Poems (2025)
Introduction
Neurospicy Poems™ is a new style of neurodivergent poetry created in 2025.
It blends lived-experience storytelling, internal-voice psychology, emotional-processing models, and character-based artwork into a distinct, original poetic form.
This creative system is both my personal brand and the name of a new poetic genre I developed in 2025. Although this genre currently applies only to my work, its defining structure, frameworks, and internal-voice architecture classify it as a distinct genre rather than a variation of existing ND poetry.
It emerged directly from lived AuDHD and PDA experience, through the need for language that could map a complex inner world and make sense of emotional patterns that traditional models did not capture.
The genre integrates four original lived-experience frameworks:
Awareness-to-Understanding Pathway™ (AUP™)
Neurodivergent Inner Voice Framework™ (NIVF™)
Neurodivergent Voice Method™ (NVM™)
Completion Loop™ (CL™)
These frameworks shape the structure, emotional sequence, and internal logic of every poem.
How the Genre Began
Neurospicy Poems™ began in April 2025 during an intense period of self-discovery, late-diagnosis realisations, and the emotional complexity of parenting three neurodivergent children. Writing became a way to:
translate body-first emotional responses into language
understand internal conflict
stop rumination by completing emotional-processing stages
articulate internal voices that appeared during overwhelm
untangle PDA-driven patterns
make sense of lifelong sensory and emotional traits
re-map identity after years of masking
Poems emerged not as isolated pieces, but as mapped emotional processes.
Patterns in how emotions moved through the system became clear — the sequence of:
Event → Body Response → Awareness → Interpretation → Understanding → Action
This became the Awareness-to-Understanding Pathway™, and its stages soon appeared inside poems as natural narrative anchors.
As writing continued, specific inner states began speaking as distinct characters, each with their own values, tone, and responses:
Autism
ADHD
PDA
Inner Child
Hyperempathy
Sensory Sensitivity
Executive Dysfunction
C-PTSD
Dissociation
Rejection Sensitivity
Inner Critic
Grief
True Self
These voices gradually formed the Neurodivergent Inner Voice Framework™, a mapped internal system expressed through poetry.
Because no existing poetic form captured this combination of
emotional sequencing + internal characterisation + sensory detail + lived-experience mapping,
a new genre was born.
What Makes Neurospicy Poems™ Unique
1. Internal-Voice Characters as Structure
The genre uses illustrated internal characters to express different emotional functions.
Each voice has consistent traits, logic, motivation, and language style.
Poems become inner dialogues.
This is part of the original Neurodivergent Inner Voice Framework™ and did not exist in this form before 2025.
2. Emotional Processing as Narrative Architecture
The emotional sequence:
Event → Body Response → Awareness → Interpretation → Understanding → Action
is the backbone of many poems — either by writing inside one stage, or moving through several stages in real time.
This comes from the Awareness-to-Understanding Pathway™, a lived-experience emotional-processing model.
No previous poetic genre has used an emotional-processing model as its structural foundation.
3. Lived-Experience Precision
Rather than general metaphors, the poetry captures:
sensory overload
shutdown
masking mechanisms
PDA demand-avoidance cycles
state-dependent memory
emotional flashbacks
RSD spirals
inter-voice conflict
identity fragmentation and integration
returning to the body for meaning
misinterpretation followed by delayed clarity
It blends narrative, psychology, and body-based emotional logic.
4. A Coherent Visual Universe
Each inner voice has a consistent illustrated character design.
This creates a unified narrative universe that spans:
poetry
character art
emotional-processing diagrams
storylines
visual metaphors
educational explanations
No previous neurodivergent poetic form integrated a full illustrated character system.
Why This Genre Did Not Exist Before
Before 2025, elements existed separately:
poetry about neurodivergence
trauma-informed writing
internal parts models (e.g., IFS)
sensory-based writing
identity-reflective poetry
But none integrated:
✔ an original emotional-processing model
✔ a mapped internal voice system
✔ illustrated inner characters
✔ narrative poems rooted in emotional sequence stages
✔ a repeatable writing method based on lived experience
✔ a coherent universe of characters and frameworks
✔ the principle “My body feels first, my mind understands later™”
These elements combine to form a genre that is currently unique to my body of work, but fully meets the criteria of genre formation — a distinct, repeatable creative system with its own structural logic.
Who the Frameworks and Genre Are Useful For
Although this genre is unique to my work, the underlying frameworks describe universal emotional mechanisms that apply far beyond neurodivergent identity.
The frameworks can be useful for:
people who struggle with emotional overwhelm or delayed clarity
individuals with trauma histories
people who shut down in conflict
those who mask or disconnect from emotion
anyone who experiences strong internal contradictions
therapists, coaches, and educators wanting lived-experience language
individuals exploring inner-voice or parts-based work
people seeking a structured method to stop rumination
creatives looking for a way to map inner experience
anyone wanting a mind–body model that explains emotional sequences
The frameworks began as neurodivergent mapping tools, but their precision and clarity apply far beyond ND identity.
The Signature Line
A defining principle runs through the entire body of work:
“My body feels first, my mind understands later™.
The Pathway is the bridge between them.”

This line captures the heart of the genre: the integration of body, mind, and meaning.

Purpose of Neurospicy Poems™
The genre exists to:
give language to invisible inner processes
turn emotional overwhelm into understanding
restore mind–body connection
provide a structured path from Feeling → Understanding
