Quotes:
- "It's about removing the baseline mirage of 'normal.'”
- "It was a real paradigm shift both for me and for my daughter because these these tricks and accommodations that I had been making for myself for years went from being something innate that I wasn't doing on purpose to something very purposeful and very intentional."
- "When you are a zebra in a herd of horses, that is where it becomes a disorder: when you're trying to be something other than a zebra."
- "I found myself in the same shoes as my parents where I had this internal narrative where I was saying it was laziness or it was defiance and that that I had to get her to listen. And it was frustrating for me and it was frustrating for her."
