Neuroquid 

ˈnʊˌroʊ'kwɪd / Nur•ow•kwid

-noun-

(Of a Neurodivergent) a person who's gender identity, sexual identity, sexual orientation, and sexual attraction are all rooted in, shaped by, or are deeply part of one's Neurodivergency.

Etymology:
It is a portmanteau made from combining Neurodivergent & Quiddity. From the greek root word "Neuro" for nerve, nervous system, or brain, and the Latin root words "Quid" for "what", or "Quidditas" meaning "the essence of something".

Quiddity is defined as:
"The inherent nature or essence of someone or something", and "whatever makes something the type that it is".

Neuroquiddity (N/Adj) Neuroquiddy
"It's much easier to explain to folks that I identify as a Neuroquid, than to give a detailed breakdown of my gender, sexuality, and romantic orientation."

"Isn't that an enbeautisome Neuroquid over there?"

Neurobuilding 

The discipline to train the muscles of your brain like the body building. The art of building your brain through the phenomena of neuroplasticity and specialized mental exercises.
I want to become the best neurobuilder of all time, training my indolent neurons, reinforcing my synapsis to become a genius! That's a dedicated passion for Neurobuilding.

Neurofluidity

A neurological and cognitive state marked by abundant, fluid attention and consciousness, characterized by open-ended curiosity, exploratory thought-flow, and deep surrender to streams of consciousness. Unlike neuroplasticity, which implies structural adaptability, neurofluidity emphasizes dynamic, flowing cognitive states—aligning closely with creativity, intuition, and the flow state. Neurofluidity offers a smarter, more empowering perspective on ADHD, reflecting the cognitive style of many highly intelligent and creative individuals.
I used to think I had attention deficit, but now I realize my brain just thrives in neurofluidity—I embrace each stream of consciousness as a creative journey.

neurodidactic intelligence 

An artificial intelligence system that integrates principles of neuroscience to enhance its learning, reasoning, and instructional capabilities. Neurodidactic intelligence is designed to leverage neural processes—such as cognitive development, memory formation, and neuroplasticity—to improve adaptability, understanding, and the effectiveness of knowledge transfer and retention.
CheckIT Learning is powered by neurodidactic intelligence, allowing it to adjust its teaching strategies based on how the brain learns best.
