We had quite and engaging NSA Zoom meet-up last night with 5 of us joining in: Andrew, Andy, Maise, Natalie and I .  Topics ranged from the problems with "phones and blocks" for a stutterer and we even found out that one of us is pursuing a discrimination lawsuit because of a "hang-up". We all agreed that no matter the outcome, the victory has already been won by virtue of standing up for yourself! This led to topics related to our PWS qualities of "resilience and courage" something we all agreed that we develop by virtue of just hanging in there, of slogging through all those times of embarrassment and fear, of picking ourselves up/brushing it off and of going forward to that next encounter! When we retrospectively analyze those times, we can often say, "Hmm, the sky didn't fall in and I DID get the job done" or "I guess I'm pretty tough". Natalie and Marybeth are looking forward to attending the March 9 NSA Day sponsored by the Boston Chapters! Who else is going?
