Where I'm brave.

It took me a long time to come out of the closet, but I had no energy left to exist in a neurotypical world without acknowledging my neurodiversity. I did my best, too long. WAY too long.
 
I don’t expect you or anyone to understand how I think, or accept it. I don't care. This is for me; anyone with Autism, anyone who loves someone with Autism, and anyone interested in understanding the brain of a woman with Autism. 
 
At this point on my journey, I’m proud of myself for still being here.

My hope is to keep doing greatness in the world. My goal is to keep inspiring others, keep shining light in the dark places still unknown about Autism and the human condition, and lift everyone I come in contact with up a bit higher than before meeting me. 

Here you will get a chance to read something I've never shared before... What it's like for me living my life with Autism. 


If the body isn't safe, we don't talk.

Have you ever felt unsafe in your body?
Until you have, you can’t possibly understand why someone with Autism might opt out of occupying theirs.

The body is a dense place, heavy. It’s not like Mind… Mind is a limitless super-highway of extraordinary opportunities and takes very little energy to be there.

Why would one occupy a dense body if they realize access to Mind?? Not just access, but direct-access, VIP style.
 
If someone with Autism isn’t talking, or not in their body, it’s because they are choosing to hang out somewhere less dense…
 
Wouldn’t you??
 
I’m not sure why society keeps attempting to force people with Autism into their body. Why aren’t we letting Autistic brains be where they are, and attempt to tap into what they have access to instead?
 
Are we thinking that everyone needs to learn how to function in their body, on their own, and become independent? Is this the goal from society for Autistic folks? That’s quite a bit like asking the internet to run a marathon, or win the Olympics.
 
The Autistic brain as a point of connection to Mind, similar to how a laptop accesses the internet via Wifi. The world might do well studying and attempting to understand it this way, instead of wanting to turn laptops (the Autistic brain) into stationary PC’s (neurotypicals.) 

Or, maybe we aren't talking because we don't need to, want to, or feel that you're worthy... Either way, there's a reason, and it's because we don't feel safe.
