This is streaming on Max and worth a watch if you 💙 music. The history and development of these artists and their influence on what was to come was very enlightening, and further adds to my collection of interesting factoids I might share randomly in conversations.

Finding out later in life was better for me. I know myself better now. I know my patterns.

It may feel like you got caught off guard by your late autism diagnosis... but in retrospective, it may help you to look at your diagnosis as a path to a better understanding of yourself.

I finally got the courage to start coloring this piece from Holly Nichols Modern Fashion Illustration Coloring Book. I'm still perfecting clothing textures. I used my daughter's hair color as my starting point. All done with #copics and micron pens.

We can grieve for all sorts of loss: family, friends, jobs, pets, etc. I am #chronicallyill. I grieve for what my life was and could have been. I grieve the family and friendships I lost from being home bound. Be kind to yourself & know you're doing your best, even if #RSD says otherwise.

Loss is a terrible thing. A tidal wave of grief can overwhelm without warning. It doesn't matter how much time goes by. Grief is a living, breathing thing.

Take good care this holiday season. Be kind and patient with yourself.

Coloring is a therapeutic outlet for me, especially during recovery from burnout or meltdown. I finished this one today. Details are done with micron pens and colors are done with #copic markers.
This particular book has nice heavy paper and pages are single sided.

Vaccines do not cause Autism. AUTISM affects all races, genders, and socioeconomic status. Many Individuals with autism are not monolithic. That's why it's so complicated and has taken decades to get where we are.

I had a massive panic attack this week thanks to a spoon deficit + RSD. So I'm coloring, reading, listening to music, and watching comfort shows.
What activities do you enjoy when you run out of spoons or have a meltdown, or hit burnout?

People have asked me what it's like to have Autism & ADHD. It's a bit like one half of my brain is Starfleet,well trained,calm,orderly persuing positive goals while the other half is a drunk Klingon with a bat'leth in one hand and a Molotov cocktail in the other. So that's fun. #ADHD #Austim #AuDHD

Closing out browser tabs is equivalent to cleaning up a doom pile.
188 browser tabs closed/bookmarked/filed. I still have 27. I am a hoarder of information.

AUTISM IS GENETIC
#Autism is not a death sentence. We have fought for so long to get where we are. We still don't have a complete profile or diagnostic materials for female Autistics. No one grows out of it, we just learn to mask better and suffer in the process.

I want to cry honestly. This man believes in the vaccine theory and believes that autism can be cured. It can’t be cured. You’d have to find the gene causing my KBG syndrome and find a way to make that gene normal.
I’ve spent the last decade chronicling the #Autism rights movement and #Neurodiversity as a political movement. It had slow but gradual gains. But RFK Jr.‘s nomination to HHS takes a sledgehammer to those hard-won gains.

None of this is normal. The president elect hasn't even been sworn into office and he's already ruminating a run for 2028, violating the 22nd Amendment. My heart breaks for the vulnerable communities that will be impacted by his cruelty.
STOP!

Do Not Normalize Him. Normalize this message:
Donald Trump is STILL:
❌ Lawless.
❌ A threat to democracy.
❌ A wannabe dictator.

If you believed he was a threat yesterday, believe it today. Do. Not. Normalize. Him.

If you're noise sensitive, Loops are a must have. I have had mine for 1 month. Sensory meltdowns are at 0. I can hear conversations, tv, music without noise ie lights buzzing. Mine are the Experience 2 Plus; Removable mutes take everything away.

One of fascism's main tactics is to physically and mentally exhaust you. To flood the zone with outrageous bullshit, to make you bite on a dozen pump-fakes — so that when the real shot comes, you're too worn out to react.

We need to pace ourselves. It's only been a week. Alert fatigue is dangerous
