Yet some people would rather focus on assumptions than reality.
The truth is, I don't help people for validation, praise or attention. I help because I care, because I've experienced hardship myself, and because I know how much a little support can mean when you're struggling.
Being neurodivergent is a disability, and I've spent my whole life dealing with people making assumptions about me. I can't control that. What I can control is how I treat others.
Some people choose criticism. Some choose gossip. Some choose negativity.
I choose to help.
I choose to advocate.
I choose to uplift.
And I'm not stopping because a handful of people don't understand what happens behind the scenes.
If my content isn't for you, that's absolutely fine. There are plenty of posts online that aren't for me too. Scroll on, mute me, block me, leave the group if you wish.
But I won't apologise for helping people, supporting my community, or being proud of the work I do.
