Jane Hirshfield
“This first day when I could do nothing, contribute nothing beyond staying distant from my own kind, I did this.”
Jane Hirshfield, The Asking: New and Selected Poems

Mark Nepo
“We have no choice but to accept the truth of what is and love our way forward, discovering the new life unlived ahead of us.”
Mark Nepo, Surviving Storms: Finding the Strength to Meet Adversity

Devon  Price
“When an Autistic person is not given resources or access to self-knowledge, and when they’re told their stigmatized traits are just signs that they’re a disruptive, overly sensitive, or annoying kid, they have no choice but to develop a neurotypical façade. Maintaining that neurotypical mask feels deeply inauthentic and it’s extremely exhausting to maintain.”
Devon Price, Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity

Mark Nepo
“And though we have crashed, the harsh beauty of waves is that they always reform, gathering all they’ve been through to rise and crest again. Likewise, we can learn from what we’ve been through. We can expand again and open our minds and hearts. We can find our way back to kindness, if we dare to see each other in ourselves and accept the truth of what we’ve broken. Then, we can see what needs repair.”
Mark Nepo, Surviving Storms: Finding the Strength to Meet Adversity

Devon  Price
“The opposite of alienation is integration, a psychological sense of connection and wholeness.[1] People whose identities are integrated can see a through-line connecting the many selves they have been across various times and places. Every human being changes over time, of course, and alters their behavior depending on the situation or setting they’re in. There is no static “true self” that stops adapting and changing. To a masked Autistic person, this fact can be really disturbing, because we may lack a consistent “story” to tell ourselves about who we really are. Our personalities are just means to an end, externally motivated rather than driven by some internal force or desire. Someone with an integrated identity isn’t disturbed by change and variance, though, because they see a connection that endures across the many people they have been: core values that persist across their life span, and a narrative of personal growth that explains how they moved from the person they once were, to who they are today.[2]”
Devon Price, Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity
