Happy Autism Awareness month. It's an important month to remind ourselves of the realities of autistic people. I am autistic. I am Level 1 diagnosed at age 33. I speak up during Autism Awareness Month so that my Level 2 and Level 3 autistic siblings have a voice where they may have a quieter one.

Thank you for your support! Please consider becoming a subscriber to continue supporting my work.

First image reads: "You must imagine for yourself what it is to carry that dissonance quietly, everywhere you go. To live in a body that is constantly negotiating with its environment. To move through systems that were not designed with you in mind. To wonder, again and again, if you are the problem or if the world has simply never learned how to hold you."
