Belonging Without Conforming explores neurodivergent joy through the lived experience of a neurospicy faculty member in physics and the arts. Diagnosed in her 50s after years of misdiagnosis, the presenter reflects on how creative, multimodal teaching practices - developed long before diagnosis - functioned as intuitive acts of care and regulation. Drawing on joy-centered multimodal pedagogy, sensory-informed learning, and storytelling, this talk reframes accessibility as belonging without conformity. Through reflection, experiential elements, and concrete teaching examples, participants are invited to imagine learning environments where neurodivergent ways of being are celebrated as sources of creativity, connection, access and joy.
