Mental Crisis a Series: Intro

I'm doing a series of the last year of going through Covid with Mental Illness . It is important to visit this topic. We need to bring awareness to both topics.

I do have trigger warning prior to reading this series. Hence, this introduction. If you are at all triggered by Covid please refrain. Covid brings strong emotions and isn't my main focus. In the same since I will be mostly focusing on suicide. This can also be a sensitive subject as well. My goal in this is to bring awareness to Mental illness not to trigger anger. This is my personal experience. Others have a different prospective.

Finally, this is a journey that we took with my daughter Leah. I have gotten permission from Leah to write this series. It will be in my own view and personal involvement. Leah wants to be understood. My goal is that we can get closer to that. If you go on this journey keep that in mind

Neurodiversity

Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits. The word neurodiversity refers to the diversity of all people, but it is often used in the context of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as other neurological or developmental conditions such as ADHD or learning disabilities. The neurodiversity movement emerged during the 1990s, aiming to increase acceptance and inclusion of all people while embracing neurological differences. Through online platforms, more and more autistic people were able to connect and form a self-advocacy movement. At the same time, Judy Singer, an Australian sociologist, coined the term neurodiversity to promote equality and inclusion of "neurological minorities." While it is primarily a social justice movement, neurodiversity research and education is increasingly important in how clinicians view and address certain disabilities and neurological conditions.
