I just read an article in USA mentioning you and your daughter. It moved me to tears. In many ways Marisa could have been me. Thank you for speaking up and speaking out. There was nothing when I was growing up except a label of “weirdo” and gratitude for my good grades. Now, I see my own son struggling, but it is very different than my experience. There is more help in general now, but not nearly enough (especially for girls). Thank you for being one to help change that. The little girl in me wishes you were around years ago. I wish you all the love & success with keeping her memory alive and advocating for her. :)
Thank you for your kind words. It is my hope to help others feel less alone in their experiences and know that our differently wired (and widely misunderstood) brains are beautiful and so very needed in this world.
