Yay! Finally officially received my autism/ADHD diagnosis after a good several-year personal diagnostic journey.

💙🧡♾️🧡💙

On a personal mission of sorts to support the band Secret Frequency. Another custom product on my Amazon wish list.

Updated design for potential band shirt (since Secret Frequency doesn’t yet have a merch shop of their own). And yes, I got permission from the band to go ahead with my personal project.

A project that I’m working on. I discovered a new band, and since they don’t have a merch store yet (they’re a newly formed band), I’ve been designing a custom shirt of my own. Let me know what y’all think.

On my way home from the grocery store, after doing some light shopping. Feels good getting out and about in my wheelchair and getting some fresh air.

I miss when social media was actually a social thing. It's an extremely millennial take, but Facebook was fun when it was full of friends' pictures and life updates and real-life event invites

Lol. 😂

After three to four months, I finally received my new, first ever custom wheelchair as a POTSie. 👨🏻‍🦽

A rough afternoon as a POTSie ended in a pleasant evening. Took this selfie after taking out the trash . . . as I enjoyed, using my cane, a brief walk as I went to check the mail before heading back home.

Third night using the CPAP machine my doctor prescribed to help address my severe sleep apnea. It is definitely challenging for my autistic a** to get used to (perhaps even more so than NT folks), but fingers crossed that it eventually helps. Night, my Bluesky peeps.

Interesting fact . . . The red part of the drummer isn’t some LED effect. Rather, he actually lost his left eye . . . Yeah . . . Respect. 🫡

Y’all can probably tell by now that I’m a big fan of Smash Into Pieces . . . Lol.

Ok, to a degree. Still having episodes. Hanging in there, though.

My newly received wheelchair. This is my second one, yet a very much needed mobility aid. My doctor wants me to use a wheelchair due to safety concerns when out in public. Whether this is a temporary or permanent part of my life is not clear yet, but even if it is permanent, I’m ok with that.

Citizen Soldier in a collaboration with Thousand Foot Krutch . . . A beautiful fusion of melodies.

But, yeah, I’m doing the best I can, given my current . . . limitations.
