Trauma

Im not quite sure but I do know there had to be a “y” in there!

For starters reflection, accountability, flexibility, self-awareness.

It helps to understand ableism, bias and privilege too.

You can’t have non inclusive, rigid systems and then claim to be neuro-affirmative!

Late diagnosis isn’t rare. It’s just rarely talked about. It’s often seen as jumping on a bandwagon but some of us are finally getting the medical model to catch up with our lived experience.

I’ve met people diagnosed in their 50s, 60s, even 70s. A lifetime of “coping” suddenly makes sense. The unmasking, unpacking and identity journey can feel mammoth.

There’s grief, relief, rage, understanding and often a spark of finally seeing themselves clearly. The paradox!

Still one of my favourite albums!

This year, don’t just prepare for dark evenings.
Prepare for unpredictability.

Our mental health depends on more than daylight, it depends on rhythm, ritual & connection.

How will you ground yourself as the autumn rolls by with winter on the horizon?
