Ben Canham

I’m back who’s missed me? 😊

Last summer I stood before
the Martin Luther King Jr.
Memorial in Washington, DC.
Stone can’t fully hold the
weight of his courage or his
words. But standing there
reminded me that justice is
unfinished work and each
of us is responsible for
carrying it forward. The dream
still asks something of us.

I didn’t just talk about my journey with autism.
I also shared how watching Dhar Mann and
his inspiring videos helped me, and how the
cast and the stories they tell mean a lot to me.

Before Christmas, I had
the honor of being interviewed
by Jovanna Vidal, an actress
from Dhar Mann, to talk about
my journey with autism and my
story. It meant a lot to share my
experiences and be heard. 😊

It’s been ten years today
since I lost my mom to heart
failure it’s always a really hard
day for me to get through.
But I think of the good
memories we had together.
Here’s a photo of me and my
mom it’s my favourite picture.

If you’re looking for something
inspiring, I truly recommend them. ❤️

They’ve really helped
me stay positive on difficult
days and offered a much-needed
break from all the news and
noise in the world.

They’re short, feel-good
stories centered on things
like integrity, empathy,
and overcoming adversity,
usually with a meaningful
lesson at the end.

During my time away, I’ve been
trying to focus on things that feel
uplifting and grounding. I’ve been
watching a lot of Dhar Mann on
YouTube, and honestly, his videos
have been such a bright spot for
me during these hard times.

The constant negativity was starting
to take a toll, and I needed some time away to
reset and protect my peace. Grateful to those
who checked in and stuck around. ❤️

I know I’ve been pretty quiet here,
and some of you have wondered where
I went. I decided to take a step back for
a bit because all the uncertainty in the
world lately has felt really heavy.

Happy New Year everyone! 🎆

As this chapter comes to
a close, I’m filled with gratitude
and hope for what’s ahead.
Wishing you all a very Happy,
Peaceful, and beautiful 2026. ❤️

I want to thank everyone who
supported me, encouraged me,
and shared in these moments
along the way. Your kindness and
presence meant more than you
know, and you played a big part in
the happiness this year brought me.

2025 became a year of growth,
healing, and happiness. It gave
me lessons I’ll carry with me,
memories I’ll always cherish,
and moments that reminded me
how powerful it is to keep going,
even when things feel heavy at first.

There were times I didn’t know how
things would turn out. But as the year
unfolded, it slowly transformed into
something meaningful and beautiful.

2025 was not the year I expected but
it became the year I truly needed. What
started off as a difficult beginning came
with challenges, uncertainty, and moments
that tested me more than I anticipated.

Truly honored to receive an
Honorary American award as
a Christmas gift. America is a country
close to my heart, and I hope one
day I can proudly call it home.
Grateful beyond words. 🗽🇺🇸

Great to meet my friend @bencanham.bsky.social in person while he is in the states.

Merry Christmas to all of my lovely friends
thank you all for making 2025 a fantastic
year I hope you all have a lovely time! 🎅🏻🎄

Autism doesn't make me less
capable it just means I need
the world to stop assuming
everyone's brain works the same.

I'm learning to celebrate
the small victories getting
through a hard day, speaking
up when I usually stay silent,
choosing hope over fear.
Those moments matter.

Not all disabilities are visible.

I get my groceries delivered because
of my PTSD and anxiety, which can make
everyday tasks difficult for me. It’s something
that helps me manage my mental health.
I wish people wouldn’t be so judgmental
about choices that don’t affect them.

I've been doubted,
misunderstood,
and underestimated
but I'm still here, still
trying, still growing.
That's something
to be proud of. 😊

Being autistic taught me
something powerful: you don't
need to follow someone else's path
to make your life meaningful.

Autism doesn't make life simple. It makes
life intense. And in that intensity, l've learned
more about strength than I ever expected.

Sitting in my living room watching planes
glide overhead. This British Airways flight is on
its way to Los Angeles. I love days like this clear
skies, quiet moments, and feeling connected
to the journeys happening above me. 😊

If you've ever felt like you
don't fit anywhere, remember:
sometimes the right people
just haven't found you yet.

My journey isn't about trying to be
someone l'm not. It's about becoming
someone I can finally be proud of.
