Emma’s story

We all live with limitations — some are visible and others hidden. For some, they are emotional; for others, physical. For Emma, they are neurological. Even as a young child, Emma knew she was different. Diagnosed with autism — and later also ADHD, it was during her teen years that the social implications hit home. Who am I? Why do I sometimes struggle to connect with people? Am I worthy of love? While always loved and accepted at home, she still needed to learn to accept herself.
