The Bobots Neurodiversity and Machine-Minded Strengths
Summary
In Second Haven this announcement introduces the Bobots as a neurodiversity concept that values predictability, precision, and machinelike strengths. It explains BOBOT as Bearers of Balance Order and Truth, describes switching between logistical and social modes, and invites members to share how they resonate.
The Bobots represent what we call neurodiversity, the strengths and gifts and sometimes challenges associated with thinking and perceiving the world in a different way.
Here's what we got so far:
The Bobots are not robots, but they love the predictability, precision, and power of robots and machines in general, so they incorporate those aspects into themselves.
BOBOT stands for Bearers of Balance, Order, and Truth.
It's hard to describe what it's like to be a Bobot. If you resonate with the Bobots, how would you describe it?

As someone with Bobot qualities, I find that sometimes I focus so much on logistics that I don't have any processing power left for social intuition... or vice versa. Those feel like two different modes, and I can switch but it takes effort. The result is that I can be really perceptive in one way and blind in another.
