Hey there I’m alive..it’s been a min but here’s how my Sunday went! #diy #garagesale #garagesalefinds

Withholding love is not the same as setting boundaries. It is a form of control rooted in fear, not alignment.

My end of the year prediction 🥁 🥁
Stevie wonder comes out and says he can see…… a little bit 😂
.
He’s gonna be like “but just out of my peripheral” 🤣 🤣 🤣

When I say yes out of fear, guilt, or survival-mode people-pleasing, I’m not being kind to myself 👀 I’m betraying me to keep the peace.
.
But when my yes comes from alignment and they’re meeting me there 👏🏾👏🏾 that kindness flows both ways. That yes is a gift not a cost!
#bekind

I really don’t look like how I feel. I’m hopeful this week will be much better!!!

I’m still up and someone ask in this black #neurodivergent group I’m in:

“as someone with adhd and autism what are your thoughts during bumping bellies time?? 🤣 🤣

Whew! Feeling good!! *moan moan* I should get him a gift after this! I wonder what’s in his amazon save list. Shit!! Focus girl!

Hand over heart…
I don’t have to be “on” I just have to be me!

Hump Day #autismaffirmations

I don’t have to mask to be impactful. My truth is what makes this space safe.
.
I am clear. I am calm. I am capable. Even if I stim, even if I pause.

Wow!! Anyone relate to this? #audhd

As an autistic leader, there are moments I miss social cues. Times I get overwhelmed and shut down instead of speaking up. Times I over-explain or under-respond. I’ve learned that leadership isn’t about always getting it “right.”
It’s about repairing when I don’t.

Thanks for sharing!

5. I mask like a pro but I’m unlearning that. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to “act normal” just to fit in but now I’m learning that being fully me is the goal. And honestly I’m dope just as I am.

4. Routine is my rhythm. I thrive when things have structure. Don’t surprise me with chaos and expect me to smile. But if I have my system? I will flourishhhh!!!

3. I don’t always get small talk, but I can go deep real fast. Give me truth. Give me meaning because I am not built for surface convos but if we’re talking identity, purpose, or weird brain stuff…. Baby I’m all in.

2. My senses are like high def settings with no off switch. 🤣 I can hear a fluorescent light hum, feel the wrong sock seam, or get overwhelmed by certain textures but also? I experience beauty and vibes deeply. It’s a superpower… with side effects.💕 superpower?! I’m Batman!

1. I rewatch the same shows and movies like they owe me rent.
They’re comforting, predictable, and don’t talk back. I love what I love, and I’m loyal to the storyline even if I’ve seen it 100+ times! Aka golden girls, shrek, 300, and American Dad just to name a few. Same thing with music haha

In honor of #autismawarenessmonth here are 5 Fun Facts About Me (and My Autism) in the comments 💕😬🤗😩🤣😉😊😰🫣

Just a touch of the tism 😂

Shoutout to all my fellow #neurospicy folks out here negotiating with our own brains like a hostage situation. What’s y’all’s go-to trick for breaking the paralysis? Or do we all just suffer in solidarity?

Black History Month might end today, but being Black? That’s forever. ✊🏾 #BlackAllDayEveryday #WeBeenHere #UnapologeticallyBlack

The mind and spirit: My gratitude journal
1. Three things I am grateful for.
2. My intentions for today
3. What I am doing for myself today
4. What I am doing for others
It’s grounds me for the day and centers me during the hiccups of my day! #ase

Therapist said I’m experiencing #autisticgrief for the first time since my diagnosis. I didn’t realize I was masking before but Saturday I went nonverbal, and it shook me. She said I’m more aware of how my brain handles stress now. Instead of masking, it just shuts down. 🥺😩
RIP Kristal

I trust the universe to handle possibilities while I focus on my purpose. My past does not define my potential—only my vision does. I manifest boldly, knowing that what I strive for is within reach. #manifest #alchemist #affirm #mantra #meditate
