Today, we’re sharing a deeply personal story from one of our own Online Network members, highlighting the intersection of breast cancer and autism, and the unique challenges and strengths that can come with that experience. Suzy was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2023, and describes the challenge of wanting connection, while also finding social interactions overwhelming - a difficult balance that many can relate to in different ways. Her story reminds us that there is no single “right” way to respond to diagnosis, only what feels right for you. 💪
