Zebra Not Horse

Hi I'm EmJ, and I am a late diagnosed autistic woman. My journey of understanding my autism has led me to create this channel. I believe that being autistic is not a limitation but a beautiful and diverse way of experiencing the world. Hope I can empower you to feel the same.

✞ I'm a Christian and my faith shapes how I understand my diagnosis.

The Zebra Analogy – 
"There is comfort in knowing that you are a normal zebra, not a strange horse. Because you can’t find a community of other zebras, can’t learn what makes a zebra thrive, what brings [you] a zebra joy, if you don’t know you are a zebra and you are learning solely from horses. It is near impossible to be happy and mentally healthy if you’re spending all your life thinking you’re a failed horse, having others tell you you're a failed horse, when all along you could be thriving and understood if everyone, including you, just knew you were a zebra."
