Collection of poems, coding & traits of PDAer mind (Demand Avoidance/Persuasive Drive for Autonomy)

Brief:
I came to the US at 4.5 y.o & struggled through school as the only asian person K-12 in the county. ESL wasn’t a thing so I was tossed into Kindergarten as a way to learn English. I speak with no Asian accent which was my first masking-focused task out of the gates.

I get it, all childhood are socially dramatizing but as an immigrant with PDA traits present a unique journey with an a layer of trauma. This journal is a self-help documentation and for others.
