I was supposed to be a lot of things. Currently I'm a disability advocate, and I use fiber arts and audiobooks to cope with the weight of things I can't fix.

Yeah I've stayed away too. We've known since 50 shades that lots of people love toxic relationships. Didn't read that one either but I read enough reviews to know I would not finish.

Yeah, I've mostly learned to spot the popular reads I would hate.

Yeah, I cancelled after being subscribed for several years. I am down to Libby (library) and Audible but I really wish there were more subscriptions where I can borrow multiple titles for a flat fee. I don't need to own most of what I read/listen.

Thank you, I agree with you.

There's probably a really high chance you had other adults who did play that role. If you are not able or motivated to do things for broader societal validation, bad autism therapists likely would not have changed that.

They also compromise so much to comply with rigid NT rules, and then when they struggle they are told to be more flexible. 😔

Ooh I got this one. Look at flat socks. They don't really help with warmth but they are kind of like washable insoles.

Legends and Lattes is a comfort read, The Lies of Locke Lamora is much darker but really good.

Is there hope to move this along before the end of the year?

I am a neurodivergent parent of teenagers who posts about books, fiber arts, policy advocacy (disability+) and might also post about neurodiversity affirming parenting and intersectional issues.

Usually the biggest problem is that the last stitch doesn't look like a stitch. So it ends up being an uneven edge. It helps to make something small like a washcloth so it's easy to go back. Almost certainly, it will become relaxing if you stick with it long enough. 🧶🤎

This is non fiction. One of the two co authors is autistic and many more contributors as well.

Yeah, he's not just anti vaccine, he's anti science and pro conspiracy theories. He is also against psychiatric medications in general. 🤦♀️

Update after finishing: This is a great straightforward resource on gynecology basics. It clarifies common struggles as well as gender and sex, what gender affirming care actually is, birth control and menopause.
Reproductive care access is also disability justice and racial justice.

The best thing you can do is help her find the Autistic community. It's going to depend on where in CA you are and if she is able to socialize online a bit or mostly in person. It is absolutely essential and it's tragic that it doesn't exist everywhere.

You are absolutely right to weigh state supports heavily in deciding where to live. As a part of the ND community in another state where we have good disability support, I can tell you that even in the good places, the going gets rough after high school. It is known as the cliff (of services).

I didn't remember that, but of course irl there are people who are autistic and also have a cluster B disorder.

I watched it before I understood adult presentation, or really knew much about the neurotype, but I've been wanting to rewatch. From what I remember he seems somewhat autistically coded, but writers love to make quirky characters spicy in more than one ND way but not any one consistently.

What state are you in? There will be budget issues but state standards will offer protection. If you are in a state that is doing the bare minimum that is not good news, if your state standards are higher than federal, you are in a less bad place.

It's repetitive and the yarn feels good. It's also bilateral so it works like a brain hack. You can also crochet stim toys.

Try TL yarn crafts videos. She's a very good teacher and her voice is calming.
