Almost all of the interviews are done. The stories are recorded. The conversations are unfolding in a way that feels real, grounded, and more powerful than I could have hoped for.

I’m still recovering — slowly.A few weeks ago, I couldn’t lie down without wincing. I couldn’t walk a block without feeling it in my ribs. Today, I can sit and write for a little while. And next week will be better still. It’s not linear, but it’s forward. And that’s the space I’m building this…

When I first stepped into the world of parenting, I was thrilled. But when I realized we weren’t on the same path as everyone else, I was overwhelmed. I didn’t know where to turn, who to trust, or what the future would look like for my neurodivergent child. Every piece of advice seemed off—like it…

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in…
