And that, you know, my hope is that this chapter will make people feel very seen and supported, but I could use a term that put somebody off.
And I wanted to just own that and state my intentions and ask for grace, basically, of my readers as they hopefully, you know, ask for them essentially to give me the benefit of the doubt that I'm trying here to be as inclusive and as occurrent as possible with my language, knowing that language is constantly evolving.
I wanted anybody who's been otherized around their mental health or around their neurodivergence to feel completely seen, loved, respected, validated, supported, and helped.
And I think the utter point of this is we all, many, many of us have a situation and to know ourselves fully in it
to understand what that self needs to be whole and healthy and to move forward.
That is the point of this chapter.
It's not about labeling anybody.
It's not about trying to fix somebody.
It's sort of just inviting the reader, if they're not already there, into a deeper knowing of the self so that they can love and embrace that self and head out into the world looking after that self.
And then I think implicitly, there's something about aging in here, which is, you know, your older self will want your current self to take good care of itself.
Okay, there's a lot of self in that, in what I just said.
And a key message of this book for 18 to 34 year olds is get stuff in place now, whether it's owning your own neurodivergent situation or mental health challenge or
your financial situation or what have you, right?
Get on that stuff now, both because it matters now and because your older self, your 50-year-old self, your 70-year-old self will really benefit and be grateful if you manage to kind of get a hold on things in your young adulthood.
Happily, happily.
And let me just go back to that one and two stat and say that
I hope what I said, yeah, I'm just looking back at it myself.
So I'm not saying one in two adults have a diagnosis, but one in two 18 year olds.
And I read that stat somewhere, read it in a number of places.
So certainly for those at the younger end of the readership, one in two have a diagnosis of some kind.
