Powerful reframing of heroism as daily persistence rather tahn grand gestures. The detail about walking close to walls after having books knocked down captures how invisible accommodations become for people navigating sensory or social challenges. I worked with neurodivergent students for a while and that "practice before performance" concept is spot-on, the number of rehearsed scenarios needed for what seems spontaneous to others is huge.

Thank you for responding. I am currently working on a book proposal that chronicles the way my son grieved the death of his father, his neurodiverse brain unable to handle the concept of death as forever.
