I needed to stop myself from rushing headlong into becoming something I’m not. It was time to figure out how to position myself for sales. I decided to go through Lara’s diagnosis process because, going into the business accelerator program, I needed to know exactly who I am. I needed to see my needs clearly and how I might care for them, because after years of denying so many aspects of myself, I honestly didn’t know. Put simply, I needed outside help to get to the core of my identity so I could give myself the support I’d long denied I needed. Knowing about my autism helped me find a way to voice my needs in the accelerator program. With this knowledge, I have more freedom to innovate and experiment - even to fail, if that’s what it takes to honor my needs.
