I keep forgetting I have this account 😳

Who was gonna tell me that sleeping with a pregnancy pillow would actually prevent my almost nightly subluxations/ dislocations? Last night was the best sleep I’ve had in years and it’s all because I slept on a massive U-shaped pillow. Is this how people without hEDS sleep?! Wow

I’m thinking of changing the way I make my dolls. I think I’m gonna move away from full body armature and go towards a separate stuffed torso with a sculpted head and bust with ball jointed limbs. It doesn’t make a difference time wise but it makes sculpting easier 🤔

I love that when my former grad school classmates have questions about autism and resources they immediately reach out to me. It makes me feel valued and able to help more people 🥰

And I finished. I may not be Catholic anymore but damn do they go hard with aesthetics

Not me deciding to hand make a chaplet rosary because autism special interest reasons. I don’t even believe in Catholicism anymore but I love ritual and folk belief and my crystal loving ass decided I needed a sodalite rosary so I can physically ground during stress… I need an external thing idk

I can’t stop thinking about the animated series on amc+ “Pantheon.” I watched the whole thing in 2 days and I can’t stop thinking about it. That shit was so fucking good. Why don’t more people know about it?! It deserves so much more love. It’s now in my top 5 shows of all time. 10/10 must watch

As an auDHD person I actually hate how people minimize ADHD in comparison to autism. Both make my life difficult but I’ve learned how to accommodate my ASD very well. Its the combo auDHD executive functioning I find the most debilitating. Like I can not do most daily executive functioning tasks 1/4

I love that my supervisor also has ADHD. It’s so validating to hear from an established professional that she also gets extreme email anxiety and that she finds little tasks difficult vs handling clients crises. In the past this would’ve been minimized by people but now I’m understood 💗

I’m getting on here and yapping/ complaining. I love being an auDHD therapist working with auDHD kids but god working with the parents can be so fucking exhausting and frustrating. They want me to “fix” their kid when there’s nothing to fix and don’t want to do any work to accommodate or unpack 1/3

When I took trauma informed training and neurodivergence informed training , I was validated in my thoughts that some people need movement or sensory to regulate.

I completely forgot about my “high fantasy maladaptive daydreaming” Pinterest board filled with hot women in armor with the “Gender?! At the Renaissance Faire” section that just has butch people in corsets and breeches. Iconic of me honestly. I have some very iconic Pinterest boards

Okay so I bought the eyes and have acquired the correct shade of doll clay. Now my problem is the color of the dress fabric. It looks different depending on the lighting. I’m between baby blue and Robbin’s egg but idk! Help 🥺

Good thing abt being a neurodivergent therapist working with ND clients: I can use my life experience to help build systems that work with their brains & gain ND friendly coping strategies. Bad thing? I’m also struggling daily to get my executive functioning shit together. I feel like a hypocrite 😬

The urge to sculpt a Delainey baby Lulu Claudia doll is brewing within me! I can just see it now, how cute she would be 😭 but I still haven’t finished my current custom doll of my cat as a little human girl so… maybe once I clean my studio I’ll finish and begin a Claudia one 🤔

I literally slept all day yesterday from the emotional/ mental fatigue of the past week & I’m somehow still exhausted?! I seriously contemplated canceling all my sessions today but tht would be a shitty thing to do. At least I have the next 2 days off. Time to rewatch iwtv for the 10th time
