knowing and understanding. saved my life as well. thank you for all the work you do in the autism space. I recommend your site almost always to new diagnosed people and people trying to figure out what's going on with their brain and why they can't figure it out.
Thank you, Megan Anna. Your work really does save lives—you’ve been a major part of my own healing journey and many of my clients, as well. The ripples are real.
I appreciate the bear story… It makes me think of the idea of 'name it to tame it.' Being able to identify the thing can bring immediate relief. But you can’t get the relief if you can’t name it.
That exhaustion and grief… that’s very much what it felt like for me leading up to my autism discovery. I was so desperate to figure out what the missing link was and it was so painful and frustrating—nothing made sense. But when I finally confirmed I was autistic I found immediate relief and even a bit of joy...
It hasn’t been easy, but it feels so good to have that understanding to hold on to as I heal and grow. Thank you for making this information accessible and available.
My whole life I felt like I was doing it (life) wrong. As a therapist who works with many neurodivergent clients, I feel that the work I do with them is also healing for me. I imagine you feel the same.
Absolutely. Creating healing experiences for others does so much for us. I definitely felt that. Being an ND therapist is so very unique in this way. On the flip side of that coin it also makes the shared pain that much more intense when it enters the room.
