Last weekend I visited my aunt and uncle. Their 30-plus acres tucked into the foothills of Appalachia has been my place of refuge for more than 20 years.

When you know where you belong, it's easier to be yourself. As an adult with autism, Sara Lamb's search for belonging has been a long road, which is why I wanted to talk to her. Sara described herself as "quirky" and "shy." When she attended public school as a child, she felt like a "lone wolf." She said, "I just didn't have a lot of lasting friendships." Sara was homeschooled in high school and wasn't diagnosed with autism until she was 16.
