The show is a gift for my autistic kid. But I was also hit with the painful awareness that only good enough parenting can foster resilience. Kids who grew up with emotional abuse cannot even conceive of resilience. We are constantly fortifying our armor, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Honestly folks don’t willfully surrender to anxiety. That’s a tad ableist. Their Amygdala takes over their brain function.

Yes! I deal with Bollas and the transformational object and the unthought known in chapter 5 of my book.

My hEDS (and my AuDHD kid, also with hEDS) is leading me to think I’m #actuallyautistic

Yup
