Society will often tell you what you can or cannot do. Who you can or cannot be. Reject that script. Build your own morals and your own meaning. There is a price for being different and we are hardwired to try and fit in. Yet we must pay that price without flinching. The examples below are some that history remembers but there are countless others that it does not. That changes nothing. You stay unrelenting.

The trope goes, “how do you know if someone is neurodivergent? They will tell you.” Yet, if we ever met IRL, there is only a 0.6% chance that I would have told you I am autistic because for the remaining 99.4% of my life, I just did not know. As it turns out, I have been trying to make sense of the world around me with physiology not suited to the majority of it.
