In this conversation, I discuss the importance of authenticity during Thanksgiving and emphasize that the holiday should not be a performance to meet neurotypical expectations. Instead, it should be a time to honor your own rhythms and redefine hospitality. I want people to understand the significance of belonging to oneself rather than conforming to societal norms.
