Writing through silence
I’m Josey and I am autistic. I have been writing since I could remember. My mom hung on to so many little art projects and stories from when I was a child that it's hard to pinpoint exactly when I started writing stories and poems.

The Problem with Calling Something a Problem

ADHD- The Ignored Superpower
For years I have struggled with seemingly simple tasks. Be quiet? That was impossible. Clean my room…? Almost thirty four years later and we still haven't got that figured out.
