Hi, I’m Laura, a lifelong reader, relentless researcher, history obsessive, and natural skeptic. I’ve been a lawyer for over 15 years. My writing has been published in Electric Literature.
Strange Clarity is where I explore human cognition through a wide lens: science, history, literature, culture, language, and the everyday experience of being human. I blend personal narrative with scientific insight and philosophical questioning. This started as a place to grapple with what it means to be autistic, but has since evolved into a notebook where I tackle questions that won’t let me go.
Questions like:
How does neurodivergence shape perception, memory, and communication?
Where does my urge to write come from?
What sparks inspiration and insight?
What does history have to tell us about how humans deal difference?
If you’re curious about the mind—your own or someone else’s—you’ll find something here.
When I publish
Expect thoughtful, idea-rich writing at least once a week.
Say something!
If something resonates, leave a comment—even just “I was here.” It helps more people find this work, and I’d love to know what’s on your mind.
Thanks for reading,
Laura
