Flexibility isn't a personality trait. It’s an energy expenditure.
When you’re neurodivergent, you’re constantly performing a "manual balance" just to exist in a world built for cruise ships. When the water gets choppy, we don't need "coping skills"—we need stabilization.
Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is let the board flip so you can finally stop bracing.

An addendum:
I must honor my fear.
Fear is my guardian, my screaming siren.
Fear is the warning of annihilation that must be heeded.
I will embrace my fear and share its wisdom.
I will let it flow through me into purpose and strength.
And when we have acted, I will remember its lessons.
Where the danger once stood, we will remain.
We are stronger for having feared... and acted... together.
