Makes Me Think - Today my autism was both burden and gift. I had a meltdown with my husband and our best friend when they forgot something that is important to me. I cried alone in my garden and cursed myself for the way my mind is wired - that these things hit me so hard. I said to the flowers I was cutting, "Why can't my autism be a gift, like others say theirs is?" Just then a hummingbird flew out of the blueberry bush and hovered over the bouquet in my hand for a full minute. It calmed my mind and MMT.
