Miya knew that she was different from everyone else. From struggling to fit in at school to dealing with an abusive home life, Miya became convinced that she was nothing but a potato who would never belong. But as Miya began to understand her neurodivergence and the God Who had created her perfectly in His image, she soon came to realize that she was created for so much more than what she envisioned in an online world of gaming and anime.
Through the painful retelling of her own journey to faith and accepting her autism diagnosis, Miya hopes to encourage others who struggle through her own life experiences and to educate those who should come alongside them and show them Christ’s love.
Whether you are someone struggling to fit in or someone who needs to learn to be more compassionate to others, you will be blessed to find God in the midst of life’s messy circumstances and reminded to be a little bit kinder to people around you.
