A dispatch for anyone who was explained too narrowly

You are more than the language that helped explain you.

A diagnosis may have opened a locked room. It was never meant to become the whole house.

First principle

I am not just a diagnosis. I am much more.

A diagnosis may offer language. It does not become the border around an entire life.
