The image you have painted in my mind of your neighbours flowers in your garden and the impact and symbolism they have has moved me to tears. How wonderful to feel so supported by these women.
I’ve done a deep dive on giftedness and 2e for the past three or four years and am now starting my third year of doctoral studies in the field. It’s definitely a landmine, as you allude to. The field started with eugenics and carries a heavy load there to this day. It was the door that led me to a broader understanding of neurodivergence though, and for that I will always be grateful.

Thanks so much for reading and taking the time to comment. They are inspirational, without knowing at all!

Stunning! - Have you read Rootbound, rewilding a life by Alice Vincent? If not you might like it.
Ooh no I haven't, thank you I'll take a look
