Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare- Audre Lorde

At Nothing About Us Without Us Creative Arts Therapies, Autistic and LGBTQ individuals are at the heart of what we do. Our founder and director, MarySebastian SummerStroh (AKA Bast), was diagnosed Autistic at 29, after having spent years wondering "what's wrong with me". Getting a diagnosis was a huge releif, and is part of why they now specialize in working with the Autistic and Neurodivergent communities.
At 13, Bast came out to their parents as bisexual to a mixed reception. They now identify as non-binary and pansexual, and are happily married to their trans femme wife. As a neuroqueer individual, Bast feels that uplifting the communites that they are a part of is the most important aspect of what they do as a therapist and social worker.
If Self care is political warefare, lets multiply that by a thousand and see what we can do when we band together as a community!
