“These days everyone has a diagnosis, they didn’t have all that sensory stuff when I was a kid.”
But they did. Before names were given for different types of brains and how people experienced the world in different ways, ways that can make things harder for them, the people still existed.
Before there were labels, charts, questionnaires and therapies the humans existed .
They found ways to cope, (not always succeeding) were called weird, “touched,” were put in places where they couldn’t bother anybody, stayed back, got into loads of trouble, learned to pretend, but they lived among you.
Before there were labels with proper names, they received other labels: difficult, non-cooperative, withdrawn, explosive, quiet, shy, or strange.
I feel for people who lived in times without diagnoses and the support they can bring.
Because when you don’t know why you’re different and why can’t do what comes easily to those around you, one walks around feeling like a malfunctioning piece of machinery.
Having a name for one’s neurotype is loving, as it provides a framework for navigating the very choppy seas of society, relationships, and life.
Diagnoses are loving because they are an effort to understand the individual rather than simply condemn the parts of them that are inconvenient.
As I observe the growing landscape of diagnoses and awareness for all types of brains, while it isn’t always perfect, I feel encouraged and happy.
People are more aware than ever that there are humans who need more support than others.
And those who were born with a bit more cerebral glitter here and there, are starting to understand how beautiful they are and how to live fully.
It all is very loving to me.
So while it might seem new, it’s not. Others are simply, finally, finding a seat at the table.
Love ♥️🌸
