Lyria listened intently, feeling the weight of their experiences and the urgency for change.

Determined to advocate for these dragons, Lyria began to build the Bridge of Understanding. This bridge, spanning the cavern, represented the efforts to connect neurodiverse individuals with their peers, fostering mutual respect and appreciation.


Lyria organized workshops and discussions where dragons could share their experiences and learn about the strengths that neurodiversity brought to the table. She encouraged open dialogues using liberating structures, promoting empathy and understanding.

Dragons of all neurotypes collaborated on projects, their combined strengths leading to breakthroughs and advancements that were previously unimaginable.


The garden bloomed with the fruits of their collective efforts, a celebration of diversity and inclusion.
