Hi, I’m Val! I’m a Tejana autista in my early 30s starting a new life overseas with my husband, corgi, and kitties. I’ve always expressed myself best through my writing, and since my late diagnosis I have come to appreciate how therapeutic and essential journaling is to my sense of self. I consider this blog an opportunity to illustrate my experience of this increasingly chaotic world through my neurodivergent and biracial lenses as I travel from place to place, culture to culture, and community to community in search of a new home with my new family. I hope my adventures provide fertile ground to sow the seeds of joy, hope, and understanding. Thanks for coming along for the ride.
