For the parental first encounters when finding out the news of Beth’s disability, the neurodiversity of one’s mind, and how disability if perceived by culture. If only we could change the society views on disabilities, especially since no one really does fit in what we define as normal. Ending with a quote about what it should really be like: “Maybe we are all Beth’s, boarding other people's life journeys, or letting them hop aboard ours. For a while, we ride together. A few minutes, a few miles. Companions on the road, sharing our air and our view, our feet swaying to the same beat. Then you get off at your stop, or I get off at mine. Unless we decide to stay on longer together.”
