And honestly, this has gotten me in trouble many times. However, I hope that this blog will be a more positive outlet for that honesty. I have noticed that many neurodivergents are hiding a side of themselves: a side that may be considered embarrassing, or weird, by neurotypicals. But I put it to you that there should be no embarrassment. While I&#8217;m still working on unmasking myself, I hope that sharing my experiences can help others out there struggling to accept themselves in a neurotypical world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who am I?
