I think I’m also gonna redo this blue haired doll now that I found a less fragile and more diverse skin tone brand of doll clay. I rushed her for a class and she’s ROUGH. She could be wayyyy cuter. Mixing the skin tone myself was torture and took far too long that it left less time for sculpting 😢

And after I had a borderline panic attack the other day and a massive meltdown last week I felt like I needed an extra coping tool. I found my Nonna’s chaplet and felt very comforted by it, but it’s very old and fragile so I’m making my own.

They don’t need to unpack their biases/ learn from marginalized people because they’re “helping people. Its incredibly paternalistic and gross and I try so hard to constantly check myself and my biases bc I don’t wanna contribute to harm. There’s a power dynamic most ignore/ dont take seriously 2/2

As a therapist it shocked me at 1st how many of my fellow therapists were ableist but then I was like: of course they are! Its literally built into our education to perpetuate sanism, ableism, and racism. How my cohort and professors talked about ASD, ODD, BPD, schizoaffective 😡 they believe 1/2

I need someone to text me to remind me to do things. I need another body in the room to feel settled while doing tasks with a lot of cognitive processing involved. And I know a lot of this is the ADHD but so many people treat it as a personality quirk and not a disability 😡 4/4

Feed myself if I lived on my own and she worries about me and my daily self care. She has ADHD too and struggles with executive functioning but not to the extent I do. And she’s so right, her fear of me accidentally starving is so valid. I feel like I need an assistant just to get thru each day 3/4

Without being repeatedly reminded. I forget to eat, go to the bathroom, clean, pay bills, make appointments. If something has too many little steps I get so overwhelmed I tend to just give up until it balloons into something even less doable. It sucks. My mom even said she doesn’t think I’d 2/4

Resistant to learning or making changes that will help everyone is baffling. If it was my kid I would learn everything I could and make our lives as accommodating as possible. I would do whatever was recommended to help them feel safe and succeed. I don’t get it and I feel so frustrated 😩 3/3

Their biases/ ableism. I’m a neurodivergent affirming/ ND-centered therapist & will always advocate for my clients being accommodated. Why do so many families think their child is the issue when it’s the family system & them not working with the kids brain? The amount of parents who are outright 2/3

I want to be done, said I was done, but I still have so many mutuals and connections there that aren’t here or on other social media. I’ve been on there since 2009. It feels very weird to leave. I’m in limbo about it at the moment

Eyeballs for those curious. They’re not 100% the right color but they’re close!

I just bought eyes for Claudia on impulse so we’re doing it! She’ll likely be done around the New Year if my motivation remains consistent 😊
