Remember the game telephone?

My ability to self-advocate is only ever as good as my ability to communicate.

How can I translate my self-awareness?

What are the descriptors of my experience?

How can I ensure that the message was received?

While I don't want to have to facilitate communication, I always lose if I don't.

It takes more energy and effort, but outcomes improve when I do that work.

What is the cost-benefit?

Doing the pre-work is part of this communication.
