“So many employers don’t see us as having full lives outside of work.”
“I lost 56 lbs. in a month. Every time I moved my head, my vision went black, and I was in so much pain. I threw up vomit drenched in blood. That’s when I knew I was seriously ill.”
“This body is forever mine, full of layers that have built me to where I am now.”
“We were beside ourselves. This couldn’t be happening again. Daniela was scared and had been through so much already with all the chemo and radiation.”
“I don’t get the laundry done during the day. I don’t get to pre-heat the oven. After the kids are in bed, the house is still a mess.”
“‘You have no eggs left.’ I sat there in disbelief and shock. My intuition was telling me to do a pregnancy test. The test said I wasn’t pregnant but I had those feelings for days. I was PREGNANT.”
“Autism is a game of short strides. One day, you look up and realize all the work, all the hope, all the fear, all the worry is turning into something bigger than you imagined.”
“Everyone has scars. I happen to visibly wear mine for the world to see.”
“‘You can jump off the wagon now,’ they say. But the moment we wake up on January 1, we have to ‘get back on track’ with an extreme diet to ‘undo’ all the ‘bad behavior’ of the holidays.”
“My heart beat violently in my chest and my face prickled hot with anxiety. ‘I think I might actually be autistic…’ It could’ve cost me all I held dear: my husband, my daughter, even my independence.”
