I have two people in my family that are Autistic....my Grandson, and my Nephew. Each are on different levels of the Spectrum...one severely and the other what they used to call Asperger's. Both are functioning in this world, contributing their special gifts, making it a better place. You are too. I believe your neurodivergence is what attracts me to you as a teacher. It gives you a depth that other's don't have, for whatever reason. I always feel safe with you. Always feel validated in ways I can't explain.

Your bravery in standing up and not keeping secrets or hiding is an inspiration for those of us who have been on the journey of discovering who we are and our own Intuitive Voice. The comments and reactions of 'others' can sting and be hurtful; but I find myself asking what is it they are hiding that makes them so uncomfortable that they make snarky comments, or just turn their backs on us and walk away? Like any new building endeavor, its so hard at first as the people who do not want to know our truth walk away .... are we shedding them as a tree looses leaves for the next Season in our lives?
