Being audhd means living in this world isn't going to be simple much of the time, but there are ways to make it easier.
How hard does it have to be before you're willing to ask for help? Do you feel like it's this hard for everyone?

Some of what we do in Arcane Energy System ™️:
-Track how much we're actually doing each day, not just in the way you might think.

Arcane Energy System ™️ is like when you mash Spoon Theory, DnD and autistic/adhd grounding strategies into a delicious sandwich of setting boundaries with yourself and your environment

I go thrift shopping sometjmes for something small but useful to make my space more adorable and beautiful. It can be a sugar bowl that cost a dollar because the china set wasn't complete. It will make me smile every time I use it.
What are the ways you cultivate glimmers in your life?

If you are self-diagnosed, you're still valid. Non-autistic people don't go around wondering if they're autistic for years
This is why SELF-DIAGNOSIS IS VALID and ALSO A SAFETY MEASURE. I don’t want to hear ANYONE touting the stigma around that again. Please share this with anyone considering getting a formal diagnosis. For many, there isn’t even any support pass the “check mark” on your medical records.

At times, we think we want to know *why* something is happening , when what we actually need to know is how to accept and move forwardWe think we want to know why because then it will give us something to fight against. 1 /4

Can Marvel a Harley Quinn Animated Series-esqe series where it's just Matt Murdock and She-Hulk defending various Marvel superheroes and antiheroes and villains and several R-rated highjinks ensue? I feel like this would have the potential to be very funny.

I think the reason so many autistic, adhd, and lots of other neurotypes end up in addiction of some kind or another is that we are simply trying to numb the pain of existence when the world is overwhelming and we have no ability to say no entirely to the sensory hell that is outside our doors.

How can you be in your body today?

The reason alcoholism and addiction are so prevalent in neurodivergent people/families is because the only way we were accepted was by masking so hard it broke us and the only way we kept going is by using

I'm running another Beta of The Arcane Energy System (my personal take on Spoon Theory, DnD and Energy work). 6 weeks of support, looking for 4-6 participants to understand your personal energetic capacity. You'll walk away understanding where to prioritize your energy each day to feel better⬇️

On the most recent episode of The Neurodivergent Parenting Podcast, I got to talk to Nicola Grewatsch Torres about her own experiences parenting neurodivergent kids who are now teens.

When you think back on all of the things you could do before burnout, make sure you have the right perspective. You may ask yourself "I should be able to do x because I always did before". Babe, the only reason you did it before is by ignoring all your needs and running on empty 24/7

By gob, I can't stand Morissey(obviously, who can?) but Please Please Please Let Me may be one of the most heartrending songs I'll never let go of

If you want to show up and be part of the solution, you have to be in touch with your own capacity in order to pour from an overflowing cup

If you are a writer, you may be familiar with the term "pantsing". Are you pantsing at life? Or do you want to do things and feel aimless and powerless? Let's figure that out
