@trevorcarroll_: TW: This video talks about suicide. Please know that help is available. If you are in the US, call or text 988. For international resources, see below. The statistics about suicide among autistic people are startling. I’m part of the 66% and the 35%. I feel like I’m finally in a place now where I can appreciate the beauty in life, and where I can find meaning and purpose even in the midst of challenges. But if you’re not quite there yet, please know you are not alone. There are so many of us working on the intention of creating a more inclusive and accepting world, and I truly believe it’s absolutely possible. Everyone, no matter their differences or disabilities, deserves a place in this world. I’m sending you love and blessings today.
