To my fellow neurodivergent folks who have never felt good enough or smart enough or anything other than the magic that you are. Maybe you struggled in school or at work and maybe (just maybe) you can't seem to get to those dishes or laundry or even brush your teeth every day. Maybe you feel stuck or small or less than or unheard and invalidated.

I see you.
I see you helping other people feel safe in their bodies even when you struggle to feel safe in yours.

I see you caring deeply and passionately for animals...sometimes self-sacrificing to get them what they need.

I see your quietly wicked (in the best way possible) sense of humor and your child-like wonder.

I see you rallying for the underserved even when you can barely get yourself out of bed.

You might not know this, but your superpowers are needed in this world, even though they may seem undervalued. Your wisdom, compassion, knowing, kindness, caring, creativity and spirit are your genius. You are an energetic rock star and that matters. You matter.

Many Autistic people are not lacking in social skills. Get a bunch of Autistic friends together and watch the magic happen.

Many of us are not lacking in humour or sarcasm. The funniest people I know are Autistic. Our humour may be different to yours.

Many of us have so much empathy that the feelings try to crush us. We might express that empathy differently to you.

We communicate. Our communication style is probably different to yours.

It’s not that we don’t have these skills.
It’s that we do them differently. They look different.

And they’re often unrecognisable to neurotypical folk.

But they are there.

Em ☺️🌈✌️

Autism is often described as a dynamic disability. Our sensory systems fluctuate and while we might be able to cope with something one day, the next day could be different.
