Seek First To Understand are words I first heard from Steven Covey back in the 90’s. It has always resonated with me.
We are all different and have our own unique set of gifts and obstacles to face.
However, some of us seem to either be blessed with more gifts or confronted with more obstacles.
So when Ian Hoyman expressed an interest in talking to me about his personal perspective on Autism, I considered it a privilege.
I have never had the opportunity to talk to someone who lives with Autism to learn more about what it is, ask about how they view the world and how they would like to be treated by others.
My conversation with Ian reminds us that even though we don’t all view the world from the same lens, we share many commonalities.
We all desire to be understood, valued and affirmed. Listening to other perspectives will help us be more aware and open-minded.
With Thanksgiving Day approaching, may this serve as a reminder to express kindness as well as gratitude and appreciation for all that we are given.
