[Editor’s Note: This is part of Cardinal & Pine’s ongoing “Neurodiversity in Nature” series, centering on a North Carolina mom and her neurodivergent family’s explorations in nature. For more of these videos, go here.]
Let’s hike to Devil’s Courthouse off the Blue Ridge Parkway and talk about the harm being caused by the Trump administration to the autistic community.
Please consider that autistic people need us to focus on ways to help them navigate more easily through the world and build community.
The Blue Ridge Parkway finally reopened from Asheville to Cherokee a few weeks ago! Let’s drive along the parkway and stop by Devil’s Courthouse. A short but steep trail gives way to incredible views. Be sure to stay on the trail because this area is home to high-altitude plants that have been there since the last ice age!
