The mask is slipping
It's getting harder to hide
It takes a lot of energy to hide
The shocking ease after naming my autism
My soul longs for connection & my body longs for isolation
The beauty and frustration of being autistic
The shape I no longer fit
A little poem about choosing to heal
Trust builds on itself
A little poem about trusting you
A life update + vocational transition
Telling the truth is hard + beautiful
A truth is easing into view
Turning 43 and nodding yes
The cost & gift of code switching
Different versions of me save me
This is autism
In honor of autism acceptance month
