Iā€™m thinking of changing the way I make my dolls. I think Iā€™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 doesnā€™t make a difference time wise but it makes sculpting easier šŸ¤”

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 šŸ„°

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 donā€™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 stressā€¦ I need an external thing idk

I canā€™t stop thinking about the animated series on amc+ ā€œPantheon.ā€ I watched the whole thing in 2 days and I canā€™t stop thinking about it. That shit was so fucking good. Why donā€™t more people know about it?! It deserves so much more love. Itā€™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 Iā€™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. Itā€™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 wouldā€™ve been minimized by people but now Iā€™m understood šŸ’—

Iā€™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 ā€œfixā€ their kid when thereā€™s nothing to fix and donā€™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 ā€œhigh fantasy maladaptive daydreamingā€ Pinterest board filled with hot women in armor with the ā€œGender?! At the Renaissance Faireā€ section that just has butch people in corsets and breeches. Iconic of me honestly. I have some very iconic Pinterest boards

Lmao not me finding my sketchbook from when I was 8-10 years old and there just being 2 pages of boobs and hips šŸ˜‚ this was around the time my Kiera Knightley obsession started and when I was actively stealing my momā€™s Victoriaā€™s Secret magazines. And my parents were surprised Iā€™m gay

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. Iā€™m between baby blue and Robbinā€™s egg but idk! Help šŸ„ŗ

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? Iā€™m also struggling daily to get my executive functioning shit together. I feel like a hypocrite šŸ˜¬

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 šŸ˜­ but I still havenā€™t finished my current custom doll of my cat as a little human girl soā€¦ maybe once I clean my studio Iā€™ll finish and begin a Claudia one šŸ¤”

I literally slept all day yesterday from the emotional/ mental fatigue of the past week & Iā€™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
