i hope all of my neurodivergent folks know that you don’t owe it to anyone to be less of yourself. less “weird.” less enthusiastic about your hobbies, interests and hyperfixations. less loving or sensitive or emotional or picky or less of your genuine and raw self. the people who will love you won’t demand of you to fit into their boxes. if they demand you to show any less of who you are & your struggles with navigating a world as a neurodivergent person, then they’re not it.
