"The people who are trying to be on our side have reduced us to a mere calculation"

-Sarah Kurchak, I Overcame My Autism and All I Got Was This Lousy Anxiety Disorder: A Memoir

"I am still, ten years later, very much a work in progress. But at least I know what I am working on now."

-Sarah Kurchak, I Overcame My Autism and All I Got Was This Lousy Anxiety Disorder: A Memoir

"It's not like, as the term "masking" seems to evoke, there's a superficial layer of actions and appearances that I can remove and instantly improve my life. I don't have a mask I can remove; I have a multiheaded, deeply embedded parasite. It's probably killing me, but it's also kept me alive, and I don't know how much I can remove and still survive. I'm not completely sure where it ends and I begin at this point."
