The Neurodivergent Perspective
on Sep 24, 2024
In 2016 Katie McMurray, STH founder, began to open up and ignore the societal barriers that she was experiencing raising a son who is autistic. For many years it was a lonely journey, as it is for many. With this piece, she hoped to build a community of support and inclusion. She posted this on her personal social media and was overwhelmed by the love and responses.
She shares it here in hopes it will help others know they are not alone.
“I know why I have spent my time trying to hide autism, because my son doesn’t fit the box society has put autism in. No one with autism does.”

Rather than badges and labels of deficits, they can also be those of empowerment.
