People need to feel a sense of belonging. This is especially true for neurodivergent people who are always seen as a little too weird, too much, too loud, too quiet, too high-maintenance, too rude, too everything.

When we’re young, we’re desperate to be like everyone else.

And that ain’t no shock. Kids are mean and they will tease over ANYTHING that stands out. (Lunatics!)

So we bent and twisted ourselves into something that we weren’t. We make sure our lunches were the same.
