Meeting Each other & Friendship
Meeting Each other & Friendship
Nita & I met in 2011 at an National Autistic Society Event about Autism, Diagnosis and Sensory Issues after the meeting we meetup many times. We talked "autism" many times as well as having a laugh, joking and sharing, through reflection there has been times of care, need and confusion but what I have found is that Nita is a very good friend loyal and kind she has been there more than many other people in my life and that is a rarity to be honest but I've embraced it. There have been difficulties but we have overcome them because are friendship is strong and we are aware of each other and we have embraced that maybe there is something to learn from that. I can't help feeling there is. I feel the picture above reflects are differences but also our similarities, our strengths, our difficulties and different why of being and connecting. :-)
