    Quotes
    • "I think it's important to recognize that for Black, Indigenous, and other bodies of culture, those diagnoses aren't widely accepted and not treated with the same humanity and compassion as our white body friends and family members."
    • "I started taking responsibility for getting diagnoses and needs met regardless of what anyone says. If I have the intuitive knowing and I've done my own research, I'm going to get to the bottom of things, and that's my autistic gift."
    • "The gift of neurodivergence is that many of us intuitively know the importance of both/and because we've been demonized by a system and the people within the system for so long to be on this one way of thinking and being and learning."
    • "I have to emancipate myself from anything that's going to pull me back into a form of mental enslavement by trying to force a willfully ignorant person to change."
    • "Nuance matters more than I think we all know"
    • "Both/and mindset is really rooted in empathy, connection, inclusivity. It's about recognizing that multiple truths do exist."
    • "For Black and neurodivergent women, to always exist in the binary code of the system of reality, I can no longer do it."
    • "If I have to lose people for my own peace of mind and for my own beliefs, that's okay."
    • "True kindness would be both/and, trusting our common humanity and making space for one another even when we don't agree."
