The Third Glance

Welcome to The Third Glance! Thanks so much for stopping by. These are some posts that I am particularly proud of, either because they are well-written, or because they really embody my personal journey with Autism, or both. Usually it’s both. Please check out some of the posts below.

The Third Glance – This post was the first. It is an essay about invisible disability, passing, (anti)bullying and is a really great read. Please, if you’ve only got 10 minutes, this is the one to read. Because everyone deserves the third glance.
