Sure, she'd felt lucky to have discovered her autism and learning disabilities relatively early-and to have started getting accommodations in junior high-given that most autistic women aren't diagnosed until adulthood, if at all. But until her second semester of university, Naomi hadn't realized how much autism impacted her life. Then, just before semester's end, COVID-19 crashed in.
