Suspicion Is the Default Setting for ND Families

Ableism isn’t always loud.


Sometimes it sounds like:
“Are you sure?”
“It’s not that bad.”
“You’re overreacting.”

ND families live under a microscope while everyone else gets the benefit of the doubt.

Somatic Reflection:


What part of your body tightens when you’re doubted? (jaw, throat, stomach?)


Your experience doesn’t need permission to be real.
