Goals can be complicated when you're neurodivergent.
There's a neuronormative (and very wrong) assumption that everyone experiences time in the same linear fashion. That everyone can break down steps; know how long they'll take; and work towards them.

When Autism / AuDHD / ADHD Virtually asked me to contribute an article on unmasking safely for their monthly newsletter, I wasn't sure how I could do the topic justice in two pages.

Do you ever open an app and feel a visceral 'Oh f**k off!' reaction?
Is there anything that better encompasses what an absolutely awful job 'experts' have done than creating a society that traumatises our children, then blames and stigmatises them when they cry out for help?
