I believe every single living being has inherent worth, simply for existing and regardless of any kind of label. You are worthy and you don't need to "prove" why.
People made fun of me for being gay and having autism.
I know how it feels to be made fun of and marginalized.
I am joining the movement because I've always been called "the special child" because I'm autistic and at points in my life it's affected me in negative ways but I've had to learn to love who I am no matter labels.
Labels limit people's ability to believe they can achieve anything they hope and dream for.
I'm an essential worker in the mental health field.
