I think,
Going through this, I really had to evaluate why am I publishing this book?
I have a background in marketing and the why, you just have to keep digging into that why.
And I think what I came to is that the power of storytelling and learning each other's stories before making any judgments or assumptions is really going to be the way that we can
make changes in the world.
Um, it's such a tough place to be for kids, especially, but I, I just learned that the tens of thousands that we've spent, you know, especially parents get that on therapy.
If we would have just done this and just sat down and listened to him share what it's like to be him.
I mean, this was more effective than anything we've ever done that we've spent money on.
So having this book out in the world and just encouraging people to do the same for each other outside of special needs, just as human beings, just sharing our stories and listening to our stories and trying to understand why we respond the way we do and why we process the way we do is going to be what it's going to take, you know, that big picture change.
big picture level thinking of just really caring enough to walk in each other's shoes.
I don't know how much effect we're going to have on the world if we're not willing to do that.
So that would be my overarching hope for this book is that we just take time to give each other space to talk about what it's like to be us.
Rylan, would you like to sing for her your Pokemon song?
Rylan is head on the table right now.
He's pretty mentally
This is our first podcast interview, so I'm taking lots of notes on if we do another one, maybe having a Lego set or something here for him to work on so that he doesn't have to think so hard and get so
And I do want to give props on here to Chris with special books by special kids because him coming to...
to do what we were just talking about, he just shares stories.
And he has shared so many amazing stories that never would have otherwise have been shared.
