Undiagnosed autism is everyone thinking you're a complete weirdo
Diagnosed autism is telling people you're autistic and everyone being confused because you look "completely normal"

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Here's one of the warnings I gave in an article before the US election. It's devastating to see it all happening.

I’m no longer able to attend the #Restore2025 conference. If anyone needs a ticket, happy to sell it at a lower price. Includes pre-conference day for helping professionals (Feb. 6), CEU’s, the main conference (Feb. 7, 8), and a box lunch each day. Sad to miss it but hope someone can use the ticket!

And get this... Hunt claims he was paid $610,000 annually by the SBC's North American Mission Board.
