I do think things are improving. I do think things are generally getting better. But I genuinely think there is still some reluctance and I was certainly reluctant to disclose when I was first diagnosed. But things are changing. I think the level of discourse and the quality of the conversation generally in the sort of media landscape or just generally between groups of people is improving all the time. And obviously, you know, having platforms like this to come on and talk about my own experience will, I hope, add some much-needed sort of nuance into the conversation. You know, visibility really matters, and seeing and hearing other neurodivergent people speak about their own lived experiences, you know, is key.
