No Name
No Name The pig truck swayed in the lane in front of me, tires careening close to the gravel edge of the road and swaying back to the dotted white line. I'd already driven alongside the truck, checking for pigs. Sure enough, I'd seen the thick pink skin sticking out, cut and bleeding, as it chafed against the sharp metal air holes. All the little piggies shoved in, open wound to open wound. Their pain, their fear, roiled my stomach. Watching the wheels of the truck veer right and left didn't help. I forced my eyes away from the spinning wheels, checked in the mirror of the nondescript Ford Focus I'd pinched. The blond wig was hot and made my head itch.

But also really proud of all the brave women who are willing to share their stories and the pains they endured to comfort Crawford and let her know she wasn't alone.

Can ADHD Really Work In The Workplace?
Let’s face it, traditional societal norms can make neurodivergent people feel like total outsiders. From school, we are encouraged to fit our unique brains into standardised boxes, and this mentality has unfortunately continued into the workplace. For example, autism in the workplace has historically not been supported, meaning that autistic people have struggled to find and keep a job due to lack of understanding (National Autistic Society).
