“I look like you. Sound like you. Move like you.
Speak your language. But I’m not like you. I never was.”
― Michal Edelsburg, Octopus Mimicus: A Literary Memoir of Love, Autism, and a Different Mind

“There are so many things that people half my age have been doing for years now, and there are things that I know I will struggle with and need extra support with for the rest of my life. But, there are things that I can do better than just about anyone.”
― Chloé Hayden, Different, Not Less: A Neurodivergent's Guide to Embracing Your True Self and Finding Your Happily Ever After
