Such a powerful statement: "The thing is, after giving birth, despite depression, anxiety and trauma, I was extremely strong in spirit. These things are not mutually exclusive. You can feel every feeling and still be “strong” emotionally. In fact, I’d venture to say, that IS strength. Being able to experience the spectrum - that’s powerful." Thank you for this reframing!

Absolutely 🩷 it doesn’t take strength for the easy life. Living with the spectrum, we gain power, perspective, and empathy for the pain in others.
