"I wonder what it means to me, and my family, to live in a world filled with others who see such an integral part of us as a disease which needs to be cured"
Gosh, yes to being already whole as we are! It took me until I was 41 to realise that I was already whole as I was. Imagine if we taught, parented and treat the person as a whole from the off? Don’t even get me started on the word cure😒I’ve been wanting to write a blog on it for 18 months but haven’t yet found the words to articulate what I want to say.
This is hard to read as an autistic person. So saddening and provoking. Thanks for sharing

I don’t have words, but thanks for writing this. 💙
