Oh love, what a beautiful sharing and honoring of your dear soul kin! Indeed, how do we welcome and even work with those who are “neurodivergent,” as so many cultures actually have been able to throughout time? This question has been on my mind since even before I took the “abnormal psychology” class for my undergrad psychology degree some 30 years ago.
It heartens me how much the needle of mental health and what is “normal” (or at least acceptable) has already moved in my lifetime. May we continue down this road of inquiry so we might become a richer peoples, with wider, possibly even wiser perspectives.
Yes, indeed, we have been dismantling the Myth of Normal, as Gabor Mate calls it! Grateful for your continued prayers for liberation and life of devotion.
Thank you for your insight, empathy, and compassion. You are a Blessing. For more information about mental health resources, check out NAMI (National Alliance on Mentally Illness) Santa Barbara (Educational ZOOM on Tuesdays, 7 pm.)
Thank you Kate. I am familiar with NAMI, though have never attended the online meetings. Good to know, I appreciate you. Thank you for bringing more awareness. Blessings.
