Neurodiversity. ASD, ADHD, Transgender, Homosexual. All started out being treated as diseases. While some have started the transition to being an identity instead of a disease, the stench of the disease label lingers: conversion therapy, legal obstacles to transgendered life…and then there’s ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) & ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) which haven’t even made the first move in that direction.
Ruth Pan is a film maker and writer living in Austin who identifies as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and is working with her medical team to determine if she has ADHD. She lives at the intersection of this question. She also shares her coming out story. Please send her lots of love for being this open and vulnerable with us, Jusa-Nation!
DeNeece has a theory about trash pandas in Alternative Reflections. Iza returns for Ratchet Effect bemoaning the internet-driven culture we're in especially where dating is concerned.
