Captains Log

What if Star Trek wasn’t just a sci-fi classic, but a reflective memoir to a neurodivergent brain?

Think about it—Spock, Data, Scotty… they’re not just quirky characters. They’re logical, literal, hyper-focused, socially unconventional. Sound familiar? They move through a galaxy that often misunderstands them, yet they’re the ones holding it all together.

And then there’s Kirk’s “Captain’s Log”—not just a record, but a kind of cosmic diary. Like he’s processing each day’s chaos with a bit of structure. It’s almost poetic. Neurodivergent journaling in space.

Even the transporter scenes hit different when you see them this way. They’re not just sci-fi tech—they’re metaphors for shifting between realities. One minute you’re in your world, next you’re beamed somewhere totally different. Classic code-switching vibe.

Maybe the Enterprise wasn’t just boldly going—it was navigating the spectrum, with empathy, logic, and a hell of a lot of nuance.

TL;DR: Star Trek isn’t about aliens—it’s about feeling like one, and still showing up with heart, brains, and a curious mind.
