Please take note of the following text: “Millie is an individual with autism who uses drugs. In a video, they shared some personal journeys, explaining why they resorted to opioids to handle overstimulation and trauma. Their personal history and neurodivergent traits uniquely qualify them for their role in reducing harm related to substance use and addiction. Millie works as a peer support worker and is able to empathize directly with those seeking services, creating a judgment-free safe space for them.”
