This Verse About Being 'Broken' Hit Different | Ren x Chris Webby 'Neurodivergent' Reaction

Award-winning songwriter and autism mum hears Ren x Chris Webby's "Neurodivergent (Inpatient)" for the first time — and completely falls apart. This one is personal.

As a parent of an autistic child, these lyrics didn't just hit — they NAMED things I've never been able to say out loud. Ren and Chris Webby have written something that the neurodivergent community desperately needed.

In this video I break down the lyrical architecture of "Neurodivergent," analyse Ren's verse structure as a Grammy voting member and songwriter, and share why Chris Webby's "they told me I was broken… just a f***ing reject" made me have to stop the video.
