Hey, it's #DisabilityPrideMonth, sound off friends!
I'm Myk, I've got several neurodivergent conditions and it took me almost 4 decades but I finally love who I am and am proud of myself in a way that loves my disabilities instead of overlooking them. Now I help others get here.

I do that mostly by just existing honestly online. I am open about being Autistic and having ADHD, and I talk about the benefits and the challenges without shame.
This shows other people like me -- many living in a prison of shame their whole lives -- that it's safe to come out.

To be #DisabledAndProud doesn't mean you have to find some toxic positivity that reframes your challenges as superpowers or whatever, that's not it.
Own those challenges, they're a part of you.
It's about loving yourself including your challenges, not being defined as lesser.
