State of Being [traumatized and neurodiverse] 

I feel simultaneously magical, embowered, and amazing and cracked, struggling, and crawling.
I feel perhaps that the truth is in both, and that these are not states that fight with each other for supremacy. In fact, there is great overlap. I am neuroatypical and have experienced great trauma, which both hinders my life in some parts and exalts others.

State of Being [traumatized and neurodiverse] 

@Oneironott imho life is inclusive, cumulative and expansive. Not exclusive and simplified.

It's never just "I had trauma A which means I will come to bad end B or glorious movie redemption C will happen." It's more like "I had trauma A which led me to trauma B, good thing C happened which led to good thing D and also E but also meant I was there when bad thing F went down."
