🌿 Thank you to everyone who connects with GRANN.
Thank you for the messages, the resonance, the shared truths.

This next piece is for all of us, a reminder that community can be safe, spacious, and beautifully Autistic.

🌈 A community where needs are honoured, not judged
🌈 Where communication differences are celebrated
🌈 Where stimming, pacing, silence, and space for deep thinking are welcomed
🌈 Where culture, identity, and Neurodivergence intersect together safely
🌈 Where belonging isn’t conditional- it purely is.

Where our burnout story revealed what can happen when needs go unseen, this companion piece offers a glimpse of what becomes possible when Autistic people are met where they are at, with understanding, respect, and authenticity.

bee is the ripples and the waves.
The ignition and the flames.
The reminder that storytelling is activism, and that truth- even when messy- is a form of community care.

Thank you, bee, for trusting us with your story. Your poetry.

The Collaborators @ GRANN 🐝💛

We at GRANN are endlessly grateful for bee’s creative mind, their lived experience, and their steady, intentional leadership. They guide our organisation with care, always attuned to the small, intricate details and the bigger picture of change we are building toward.

Autistic people don’t stop being Autistic in May. Let’s keep showing up.

Practice inclusive communication, respect sensory needs, and amplify Autistic-led initiatives. Celebrate diversity in thinking, and remember, acceptance is a daily action, not a seasonal slogan.
