We Bloom in Different Ways
Neurodivergence is different for everyone. While we may share diagnoses, our experiences and expressions are totally unique. So instead of leaning into labels, we’re leaning into traits, discovering what makes us who we are, and how we can move through the world as our authentic selves.
Want to learn more about how your traits impact your day to day living?
Our Vision:
Neurodivergent First
-
They say everyone should act the same.
They say there’s only one right way to be.
They say fit in, even if that means you have to mask.
We’re Motley Bloom, and we’re here to say something different.
When they say “chaotic,” we say creative.
When they say “awkward,” we say funny.
When they say “sensitive,” we say perceptive.
We say, the traits that make us different
are actually our strengths.
Because if everyone was the same,
we wouldn’t have new.
If everything was ordinary,
we couldn’t be extraordinary.
If everything was black and white,
nothing would be vibrant.
So let’s own what makes us different, and feel free to stand out.
Let’s create a world that’s diverse, colorful, and motley,
so we can all bloom.
Let’s be unalike,
together.
Our Team
It takes a village.

Tishan Cowan is the CEO and founder of Motley Bloom, a lifestyle platform and collective celebrating Neurodivergent First living in all its forms. After working in creative Neurodivergent-led organizations for over 20 years—first as a senior executive at Warner Bros., and then in the nonprofit advocacy space at Understood.org, Tish saw an opportunity not being met and launched Motley Bloom in 2024 with the goal of elevating neurodivergent identity and uncovering the creative ways divergent thinking adds to the world.
As is common with women, Tish received her Autism and ADHD diagnoses later in life, after her kids were diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Living in a neuroblended household has made her passionate about helping to shape an inclusive future in which every voice is heard, every identity celebrated, and every person empowered to live as their truest selves.
