Elle McNicoll
“Being autistic meant she was a vegetable in the fruit bowl. Social interactions could be dire if the other person was able to sense she was different. Events like the Hathaway Dinner were full of hungry piranhas and Raina didn’t fancy being a nice juicy morsel for them to devour. She’d learned to mask but, at best, that only made her feel like a piece of crystallized fruit in the bowl. Something that looked exactly the same, but don’t bite into it. The inside isn’t what you’re expecting.”
― Elle McNicoll, Unapologetic Love Story

Sol Smith
“These other people have diverged from our expectations of neurological development, and from this we get the term neurodivergent. But this is a broad label that is not synonymous with autistic, the way that rectangle is descriptive of but not synonymous with square.”
― Sol Smith, The Autistic's Guide to Self-Discovery: Flourishing as a Neurodivergent Adult
