There is always the promise and capacity for reconnection, joy, peace.  The simple privilege of enjoying each other within our families. 

But we must learn what we are, first.  We must heal from our internalised ableism and meet ourselves with compassion.  Then, we move forward, to live out our unconventional, extraordinary lives.

Why?  Because that is who we are. You are an extraordinary, neurodivergent person.  And your community awaits.
