Description
Shocking the world, this young Swedish girl spoke at a UN climate event stating, โYou have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty wordsโฆWe are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money, and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!โ That month millions of protesters marched in climate strikes in more than 163 countries.
So many with autism, including me, have been shamed for being forthright and honest. It's refreshing that she used her natural ability to spur nations toward responsible environmentalism.
โI have Aspergers and that means Iโm sometimes a bit different from the norm. Andโgiven the right circumstancesโbeing different is a superpower.โ --Greta Thunberg, No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference (2019)
Thank you, Greta.

You have some incredible work in your gallery, KJ. I am now following you. This one especially speaks to me. My son also has Asperger's and I continue to be in awe of all he has accomplished so far. Thank you for posting this.
