There is no power quite like finding out that you are truly not alone in the world.” Jim Irion.

As I continue sharing my journey as an autistic adult, I would like to express my sincerest thanks to AwesomismMom for this next opportunity. These are difficult times. Not just for me, but for many whom I have been interacting with on social media from various parts of the world. Political turmoil and economic hardship overshadow the many challenges that diagnosed or self-aware autistic people are facing every day.

No matter who you are or where you are, you are not suffering alone in silence. In fact, you are about to see how your voices are what have helped me rise from the ashes of nearly 40 years of being undiagnosed and unaware. You have empowered me to get to this moment in my life. I would not be the same and might not still be here without you. Even in the darkest of times, the simple power of autism awareness can actually save lives.
