I am so DONE with GlitchBook. They took down ANOTHER Apraxia page of mine. Will be on BlueSky going forward

There is something magical knowing that your true friends will always be by you side ❤️ Wishing everyone a cheerful and restful holiday season

I’m feeling a tad nervous…

Yes, Santa Clause eats more than milk and cookies despite being told, “Simon won’t ever chew solid! That’s Apraxia for you.” #apraxia

“Uhhh…now its time to talk about Simon…”

She will never talk
She will never make friends
She will never work
She will never find mentors
She will never never attend college
And here I am with Ann Lambson who is starting her own design research consultancy after 25 years in museum academia

Other people: "The dog, dog,..oops!"
Me: "The dog, dog..."
Society: I am not sure what's going on with Simon! It's like she's regressing lately. Oh wait, she isn't using her brain. Her autism is getting worse and worse by the moment...

Telling an autisic person to “pull it together”:

One of my happy glimmers!!! 😍

I speak out
I’m silenced.
I speak up
I’m silenced.
I sing
I’m silenced.
I laugh
I’m silenced.
I whisper
I’m silenced.
Silence, a major theme of my life.

“Speech starts in the fingers,” and they were right!
As an Apraxic individual, I found myself doing art way before I could talk. Most days I spent my days doodling

No wonder I gravitate towards bonding during art nights, craft circles and holiday markets where my talents shine 💙 #apraxia
