Spouse: Darling, your neurodivergence is showing [affectionate]

Found this magazine in my local grocery store today. OMG - this is huge progress!

It’s full of good, myth-busting stories, informed by input from autistic people and researchers/professionals who actually listen to autistic people. It even briefly (albeit carefully) explains the problems with ABA conversion therapy.

This is a game-changer. Parents and family members as well as autistic people will be reading this, and that is good for autistic kids especially! #ActuallyAutistic

It is never too late to start again or to learn new things.

Me: Well don't pick her, she's a real Lamerson
My kid: Huh? [Sees the doctor's last name is "Lamerson"] Ugh!

My brother once said, when we were discussing childhood memories, "It's almost as if we grew up in very different households." He wasn't wrong about that. We have very different stories about events we both remember, and we each remember things the other doesn't.

We are only our stories of ourselves, in the end.

It's not always about the thing; it's the boundary. It isn't about the shirt that someone "borrowed" after you said no, the pan that someone used when you told them not to, or the food that someone ate when you told them it was yours. It's about the boundary you set that they disregarded. And it's OK to be upset that they violated your boundary. That's valid, and so are you.

I realize this may be easier said than done at times, but practice makes perfect.
You are never “too much” and you are never “not enough”! What you are is mismatched. There are people who will fully appreciate you. Let them find you as you are.. intact and wholesome and healthy.

Knowing when to walk away is important.

If you feel like someone doesn't respect you enough or is taking advantage of you, you deserve to walk away for the sake of your mental health.
