AuDHD: What Conditions Would Allow Her to Stop Surviving So Hard?
Last week I walked into a storytelling event. Before it started, we gathered in an adjacent room where an artist had set up an exhibition. There was music, drinks, and conversation. And in the middle of it all – a life model. She was a woman. Fully undressed. Posing in a room full of people who […]
