unveiled and Unmasked: A testimony of hidden roots, an mind, the God who saw me all along.

At seven years old, I was placed into the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. The records documented what the professionals saw - a withdrawn, shy, emotionally troubled child. What no one had the language to name was the truth: an undiagnosed neurodivergent - autistic and ADHD - child in a chronic stress response, born into unaddressed intergenerational trauma, living beneath the weight of unseen toxic stress and unrecognized spiritual blindness.For the next two decades, every system meant to help me - foster care, healthcare, education, the justice system - treated the fruit without ever addressing the roots. And I kept surviving, kept questioning, kept swimming toward something I could not yet name.This is the story of what happens when the veil finally lifts.Unveiled and Unmasked is a raw, unflinching Christian testimony told through the lenses of neurodivergence, adverse childhood experiences, and the kind of faith that only grows at rock bottom. It is a story for everyone who has ever been told something is wrong with them - and for every system that documented the symptoms while missing me entirely.The God who created me saw me the whole time. And He is not finished yet.
