It’s coming up on a year since my official autism diagnosis. I’ve been in a really reflective mood tonight. I’ve written a post about the last year in one of the autistic groups I’m in. Problem is, now my brain won’t shut up about the topic. Typically, I would have been asleep about 2 hoursContinue reading “Dear brain, please shut up now”

Everyone’s favourite friendly neighbourhood autistic community activist is back. How are you lovelies? I hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday, even if you don’t celebrate anything.

Hey lovelies, I’m back. It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? Missed everyone! Been meaning to post.

Sometimes you have to go through it to GET through it. I got through it. Went from diagnosed to fullblownContinue reading “Latenight greatful musings.”

Let’s just take a moment and talk about what a welcome change in routine it’s been, changing my morning fitness walks, to night sensory walks. My mornings are now devoted to me time, while my nights are saved for clean, crisp cool air blowing through my hair and face. Leaving me fresh smelling and new.Continue reading “Sensory night walks”

While my autism is a very deeply cherished and sacred part of my identity, to which I am truly thankful for, I could wear my autistic pride pins anywhere if it were purely about my own identity. That’s not why I specifically wear my autistic pride pins over my heart. It is because it representsContinue reading “Why I wear my autistic pride pins over my heart”
