Quotes by Sarah Kurchak  (?)

“It's not like, as the term "masking" seems to evoke, there's a superficial layer of actions and appearances that I can remove and instantly improve my life. I don't have a mask I can remove; I have a multiheaded, deeply embedded parasite. It's probably killing me, but it's also kept me alive, and I don't know how much I can remove and still survive. I'm not completely sure where it ends and I begin at this point.”
Sarah Kurchak, I Overcame My Autism and All I Got Was This Lousy Anxiety Disorder: A Memoir

“I am still, ten years later, very much a work in progress. But at least I know what I am working on now.”
Sarah Kurchak, I Overcame My Autism and All I Got Was This Lousy Anxiety Disorder: A Memoir

“Effectively ruining oneself just to provide absence of annoyance or inconvenience to others in exchange for their allowance of your continued basic existence is not an optimal outcome for anyone involved.”
