If you have problems with people telling their story, stop giving them content for their story.
#HiveMind: What is something you read that had a profound impact on you in your early teen years? Alternatively, what is something you *wish* you read at that age? (Context in next tweet) #neurodiversity #NeurodivergentSquad #neurodiversesquad #diversity
Context: I'm putting together stories/excerpts/poems/etc to use when making #copywork cursive pages for my kiddo w #dysgraphia, a learning disability that is like #dyslexia and #dyscalculia but affects motor and organizational skills as it pertains to writing.
#neurodivergentsquad Updates! Thanks to ClipClop, I realized that me and my teen are #actuallyautstic (my 12yo is likely as well) and it's really helping me understand so many things that went wrong in grad school. Them #socialcues man... I missed that memo!

My flex: was accepted to the best doctoral program for my field and left prematurely because I was unhappy.
