Just like the oak trees that bear acorns at different ages, we all grow, develop, and evolve in our own time. In this episode, I explore how the metaphor 'Bearing Acorns in Your Own Time', relates to autism, personal growth, and the pressure one might feel to meet societies timelines. As World Autism Awareness Day approaches (Wednesday 2nd April 2025), I take this opportunity to aim to spread awareness that true acceptance can mean recognising how everyone's journey is unique.  Growth isn't a race. The way I see it is, it's a process that unfolds naturally.
