In this episode, I open up by paying tribute to my family’s recent loss of their dog, our beloved Maisy. As is the fact that we all learn differently – we all grieve differently, too. It is up to each of us on an individual basis to find a deeper capacity within ourselves to work together and love and tolerate one another. In doing so, we can overturn the demons we foster within as we all too often harbor the resentment we have for each other and ourselves.
If we are being honest, we will reckon with the indisputable fact that we all have pain. Our hurt runs so deep that we often deny that it’s signaling a recognition of a need to heal. We owe it to ourselves to step outside our comfort zones and invite additional attunement and perspective for our context as individuals within a web of social dynamics and learning differences.
Our learning differences are what make our neurodiversity a unique thumbprint to our time of extremes as we continue to push the boundary as a collective and challenge the conventionalism of the past.
This next section of the book is where I suck it up and share the journey of my own autistic tendencies and how this has created lots of challenges for my personal development. It’s important to keep in mind that the greater self-awareness we have, the more connected we are to our evolutionary process.
The book references of ASD individuals I wanted to plug here are:
Nate’s Triumph by Nate Trainor; Typed Words Loud Voices (authored by editors); and Ido in Autismland by Ido Kedar.
