I have a fully neurodivergent and gender diverse family. And a lot of what's going on directly impacts members of my family and myself. And so I'm really thinking about and looking into and connecting with people about how do we influence legislation and how do we how do we fight back and what do we need to do politically? So I wouldn't. really say that my work was political.

I wouldn't have said that. Past me wouldn't have said that my work was political, but I'm learning that just existing and my family existing is political now. So definitely looking into how do we influence legislation in a real way and in an immediate way so that and then also how do we expand fish in a tree thoughtfully to reach more people that are resonating with the mission of fish in a tree.

We're really noticing that the people that come to us, the vast majority of them are late identified people. late diagnosed autistic women is people that read our website and want to participate in programs and sign up for things. So we're really thinking about do we double down on that and start tailoring our programming specifically for that group?

Or do we continue to grow in different directions, serve a lot of different facets of the neurodiversity community? So it's a lot to think about right now. Currently we're adding new programming. monthly as we get funding, evaluating our funding sources is now a huge thing that we have to do. So it's been crazy. These last three weeks have really kind of changed everything for us.

And we're, you know, trying to respond in the immediacy of the moment. But it's it's definitely taken some some stepping away and some reflecting to get a handle on what we need to be doing.

I write every day. I write articles and expanded writings on many topics that are relevant to the autistic and neurodivergent community, many more than we are able to actively address in real time with Fish in a Tree programming.

But as many articles as I write and as many topics that I write about, behind the scenes, I'm writing just as many grant applications to address those issues with Dishna Tree's programming. So we are attempting to address everything I can find to talk about, but it takes a lot of manpower.
