Jolanta Kigele
“I realized then, with terrifying clarity: Ima’s boundaries are much more fragile than those of other children and they are never meant to be broken by force. They must be allowed to fade away on their own terms, no matter how much time it takes.”
― Jolanta Kigele, They Don’t See Me: A Mother’s Memoir of Autism

Jolanta Kigele
“The life that used to be filled with voices and shared adventures suddenly fell silent. The phone stopped ringing. The invitations dissolved. One by one, the doors closed. We were the ones left standing outside.”
― Jolanta Kigele, They Don’t See Me: A Mother’s Memoir of Autism
