So, who am I?

Hi. I’m Marisa Gaffney. I made this site so people can get a glimpse into the world as I see it through the lense of my autism. It's a diagnosis that can show up differently in different people, yet can also present with striking similarities. No wonder it's so curious!

For me, I tend to notice details that other people might not. I like understanding how things work and figuring out routines that make life easier. I care about being organized, thoughtful, and fair. I’m always trying to balance what I expect with how things really turn out and I try to stay patient in the meantime.
