To all my friends here on Medium

I’m working on a story that’s very personal and strange. It’s about autism, ancestral possession, cultural appropriation, lessons learned, and how I came out on the other side. Due to its very personal and strange nature, I’m hesitant to put it out there, yet I feel it needs to be done. Please read and comment, and if you’re on Ko-fi, I’ll give you a tip.

I’m publishing this request as an article rather than sending PMs because I don’t see any way to send PMs on this platform.

Thanks to all who read and respond. Special thanks to Your NativeFriend for reading and commenting on an earlier version of this essay. Through her comments, I realized that the article needed a significant do-over with the intended audience in mind.
