Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this with me Colleen. As a writer, the ultimate gift I can receive is a curious and supportive audience, and I'm thankful to have found that in your and so many others. As an Autistic and trans person, I have to deal with being misunderstood and villainized a lot, and many people simply are not curious or receptive to having their misconceptions challenged. It means more than I can say to hear from people who approach my work with openness and learn something new in the process. Thank you for being here, and for doing the best you can to do right by your grandson. Hearing from you is a true balm.
