As Tru reflects on the bewildering day when Norman, the family's favorite cow, vanished without a trace, she invites you to join them in the search. The suspense builds as mysterious mooing sounds emerge from unexpected places, leading Tru's family on an enchanting quest to uncover the truth.

Join me on a personal journey as I share my story of growing up with autism and struggling with an eating disorder. In this raw and honest take, I open up about the challenges I faced, including sensory issues, social isolation, and body image struggles. But I also share how I found hope and healing through therapy, self-care, and a supportive community.

My hope is that my story will inspire others who may be going through similar struggles to know that they are not alone and that there is always hope for a brighter future.

Here are a few resources that may help you if you are struggling as well...

This story is mostly about how lonely it was, and how I felt and dealt with growing up as a kid with autism, though we didn't know what autism was at the time... This could be the story of anyone who felt different from everyone else though, and I'm sure just about everyone has had that feeling at least once.
