Personal Ideals

You are an adult now, and you are neurodivergent in a time when the basis of our community’s official identity is still being debated. What kind of person do you want to be?

Line graph drawn with a black axis and a zig-zag line made of words, reading in order: 'DOING', 'YOUR', 'BEST', 'LOOKS', 'DIFFERENT', 'EVERYDAY'. The line dips and rises with the words. Beneath the line, five simple tan figures show different states: standing with arms crossed, sitting hugging a pillow, standing with arms raised toward a sun, lying curled on the floor, and sitting typing at a laptop.

This variation is normal.
  • Do you want to…
    • Just get by?
    • Be an active leader; an activist.
    • A passive leader; a role model who shows rather than tells by breaking glass ceilings.
  • What
    • … example do you want to set for our community?
    • … world would you like others others after you to live in?
    • … narratives would you want told?
  • How would you like others to speak to you? How would you like to be treated?
