The autistic community pointed me home, but I was the one who needed to walk the path.
The autistic community gave me the tools, but it was me who had to put together the project.
Sometimes you have to go through it to GET through it. I got through it. Went from diagnosed to fullblown autistic activist who loves herself unconditionally in 6 months. I didn’t do it alone, though. I’m truly humbled by the love, kindness and compassion of my fellow autistic people who took the time to show me the way, lovingly educate me, stand by me and give me the occasional necessary and well deserved asskicking when appropriate. I wouldn’t be here without you.
