Like celebrate.
All of the beautiful diversity that is the autism community.
And I know it's gonna be a hard journey, and I know
that growth and learning isn't always comfortable, but it's something we're all gonna have to do together.
Um, it's really like swimming through an aquarium filled with lime jello most days.
Uh
It's c complicated and it's messy and everything feels a little bit sticky.
Um
We're definitely even though things are messy and and it's it's it's none of this is personal, unfortunately.
Um I wish it was personal because you can change people's minds when it's personal.
Um if it's a belief system, you can change things.
Um this is all economic, unfortunately.
Like with inflation and the changes in our economy, our state just our budget isn't budgeting.
And that's why there's cuts happening.
But it's been really interesting to see
the allies that have stepped up that in in the years of abundance, as we've advocated for growth and as we've advocated for system change.
when there has been money to work with.
Um, seeing those legislators that we've worked with on those things that were slow in the change process to really step up to the plate and fight for us and fight with us has been um really, really
healing in a time of a lot of hurt.
Um and it's also been really exciting that as we talk about some of these system cuts and we talk about budgeting, um there's been a lot of talk about things that would make the system easier for people with disabilities while also being cost saving.
