Kindness!

 

I remember I was sad because there was an investegation if I have autism (this was in 2020). Laura Hunsaker was kind and let me read an early copy of Against the Boards (one of the stories in Roughing It). I helped with the Swedish words. I don't think I can explain how much it meant! I think she understood that I needed something else to think about. I always felt that I was different but to actually get an autism diagnosis felt exhausting. I felt like I was an alien. We need more kindness in the world. I'm glad that there are awesome people who lift each other up!
