Hello! Ive been wanting to read your book for so long as I am autistic and been involved with trying to give awareness about neurodivergence and autism/adhd at least within my untreated deeply neurodivergent family.
I struggle to explain them that they shouldnt try to train their kids to survive the deeply ableist world we live in, because thats usually what they do and its usually done suppresing their kids special needs.
From experience I know Ive fared way better than other autistics/adhders that werent forced to learn social cues et al, but Im struggling now with learning things i needed that being Masked 24/7 didnt allow and I cant seem to make a good balanced point about where to draw the line; have you dealt with this kind of intergenerational neurodivergence discussion? I want to find a solution that will give the kids more tools to deal with their neurodivergence without making them bullseye in our bigoted town but I havent so far
