Sarah Lento, a 25-year-old comedian who also works with people with autism, opens up about:

• Struggling between fitting in and pleasing her family, and standing out and being herself
• Anxiety and the joy of overthinking (what DO you do with your hands while walking?)
• Fighting with envy, the ugliest emotion
• Accepting that she deserves success and that there's room for her (and all of us) at the top
• Strutting her stuff, forcefully, in beauty pageants as a kid (you're listening to Miss Preteen New Haven 2004!)

Hey friend, you're okay. You got this.
