Jolene is missing! (Deer Park, WA)

Indoor cat must have sneaked out of the house on Tuesday (3/12/2024). She does respond to her name and is very vocal. She will not allow anyone to touch her (not even us). Please contact Dave or Lori Obbie if she is spotted in the Deer Park (WA) area.
We are devastated and want her home.

Shannon did a 20 minute presentation on Autistic Masking and the long term effects for Towson University's Project LINC ECHO this week and wanted to highlight this slide from her presentation and share the following.

"In addition to the other many long term impacts of masking, there are these horrifying statistics. We need to do better in the Mental Health community at providing Neurodiversity Affirming care to Autistic people. Everyone needs to do better to help create a world where all Autistic people are safe to unmask and be themselves."
