Can’t hide from ignorance

GRRRR been hiding & trying to stay away from all the angst & drama of social media.   Been on facebook as my regular self but not in a lot of the discussions or debates about autism.  Been enjoying the break.  But there is really no break from advocating or from ignorance. A friend posted a […]

Life Changing

I haven’t written in a while because I have so much to say and can’t keep one thought stream going straight and focused long enough to type it out but going to try. Bullying is one of the worst things that a person can ever go through.  Those scars run very deep. Recently I have […]

Photosensitivity? sensory issues? Whatever it is, it sucks.

Grrr I hate going to the eye doctor.  I dread it.  It is painful.  As my eye doctor says it is absolute torture for me. I think the light is the worst part. Or maybe being touched around my eyes. Or maybe not being able to read after. No it is really the light.  It […]

Random events & thoughts including #Kitties

(waves) Hi here I am!! The break from social media was well needed. Every time I peeked, oh boy. I still want to share our stories and I will probably still voice my opinions, because well I am opinionated but not sure will be “getting into it” with people or such stuff. It is so […]

New Obsession- Bags or Organizing or both!

So I have been staying on the outskirts of social media lately. There was just so much negativity and fighting. Every time I peek around the corner to see if it is safe I see something that makes me run & hide again!! Deep Breaths. Going to my happy place. So I wrote recently here […]

Reset

First- trigger warning for negativity and for anyone recently in a certain facebook group.   When my son was younger he had a much harder time controlling his emotions.  He was very, very sensitive. He would act out in Math class.  No one could figure out what was wrong.  I would dig in and figure […]

Motivation

Motivation is a really difficult thing.  I am guessing it is even more difficult as an Aspie.  My son used to seem more motivated to do things but now he seems less motivated.  Is that because the world was not always kind to him?  Is it teenagitis?   I know what motivation I had as a […]

#Autism – please listen to adult autistics!

I had a few stories rattling around in my brain working on a potential blog post when I stopped in at pinterest. I love pinterest. If you haven’t checked it out yet you really should.  If you click on the P looking thing all the way up on right hand corner of blog you can […]

Accepting Self & Advocating for Self

Advocating for your own needs is so very important yet also so very hard.  I personally know I want so much to be accepted so then I sacrifice my own needs for the sake of others.  No.  Not anymore. I have even struggled with that in my own house.  My husband changed careers a few […]

Hoarding and calming

We moved in 2004? Seems so long ago when I actually think about it. There was nothing really wrong with the other house- oh wait it was old (had character but money pit) and wasn’t in the best of neighborhoods. We didn’t know how long we would stay in this house but we wanted to […]
