Divergent

   People. They are amazing creatures. Us homo sapiens, we're each unique in our own ways. Isn't that the way we really want it to be? I mean, imagine if we were all the same. How dull! 

   This piece, called, Divergent, is all about celebrating our differences. In the autism world, autistics could be considered divergent in certain ways. That is an interesting thing. Other people, autistic or not, make up the wonderful diversity and complexity of existence as human beings on our planet.

   As for me, being autistic, the kind they refer to as high functioning, am just happy to be alive. I mean that. When I awake and my feet hit the floor, I actually feel grateful to still be here. However corny that may sound to some people, it's true. I think that's a pretty healthy way to wake up. Don't you?  X
