Feel understood

The section on sensory overload was my favorite. Instead of the usual advice to just "avoid triggers," it gives actual, actionable steps for navigating the world as it is—whether that's at work or just trying to get through a grocery store. I really appreciated that the author acknowledges the physical and mental toll of "masking." It makes you feel like someone understands why you're so exhausted by the end of the day, and they actually give you permission (and tools) to build a life that doesn't require you to hide who you are.
