Shout out to everyone else who was "just interested in being supportive of queer people", who "didn't really have a reason" but started researching neurodiversity to "understand others better", or who "just really wished people were kinder to trauma survivors" without being sure why...

For everyone who has had the moment when you realize that the unheard, marginalized voice you've been trying to amplify for so long is actually your own.

Love y'all. In case nobody else has said it yet, welcome home.

Heh very right. Watch yourself and others for uncharacteristic strong reaction to chit chat.
I nearly took my best mates head off when she sounded like she was trying tonprevebt her grandson being 'labelled with some shit'.
I told her firmly and clearly it could result in a bigger trauma if his whole family keep telling him its alright and just 'deal with it quietly'. I was raging inside and saw my little me go No Not Again.

She is the one who worked out his distress because he needed
these kinds of things.

A) something in both hands
B) toes cut out of his fancy costume

She knows, it's in her herself and she doesn't want to face it yet.

Unfortunately for her, I'm her buddy, so she gets reminders demonstrated by me every time we meet and she let's me be my dopey self.

She can't help herself help it out of others..
