Isolation isn't imaginary, it's engineered.

If you've ever felt invisible, excluded, or like you didn't belong you're not alone.

You're not "too much." You are navigating systems that gave you too little.

Read this if:

You feel disconnected, invisible, or chronically misunderstood.

If youโ€™re longing for something different.

Longing to exhale in relief and finally say: โ€œI belong here.โ€

Forced isolation wasn't an accident. It was policy.
For disabled and neurodivergent people, being cut off from community has never been just a personal misfortune. It's been systemic, deliberate, and deeply rooted in historical practices of segregation, institutionalization, and erasure.
Neurodivergent people today still face the consequences of systems built to isolate and those systems didn't disappear. They evolved.

Isolation isnโ€™t just a personal problem. Itโ€™s a systemic one.

Institutionalized. Ignored by doctors. Pressured to mask.
This isnโ€™t a coincidence, itโ€™s a pattern. And it takes a toll on mental and physical health.

Youโ€™re not โ€œtoo much.โ€ You are navigating systems that gave you too little.
