I am a LGBTQIA+, Chronically-ill, Autistic teacher
And I struggle. I am a human being. Sure, I have good days and not-so-good days, where my pain flares up and I feel dysphoric and the sound of students makes me want to scream due to overstimulation. Sure I cry a lot in my free time, and sleep as soon as I get home, I forget to eat and drink. S

GETTING REAL & PERSONAL | autism as an adult
Let’s get real close and personal for a second. I’m an adult who has high functioning autism (commonly known as ASD). Many people tend to look at me and disregard the idea simply because of how I’ve chosen to present myself or mask. Which is a widely different conversation in itself. As a ch

Foods that save my diet as an autistic adult
Safe foods are vital for many autistic adults and children alike. Because so many of us struggle with sensory struggles around food (uh, I’m looking at you, mushy bananas), it’s critical we have foods we can rely on whenever we are struggling. My safe foods change all the time, and I have relati

A neurodivergent content creator with split-dyed hair wears a black hoodie with rainbow text 'I can't even think straight,' introducing 'Things I Wish People Understood' from an autistic perspective.
The creator, with blonde and reddish-brown hair, shares her experience: 'I am so much different online than I am in person, or in real time. I struggle to get my thoughts out in person.'
The creator wears gold under-eye masks and a patterned jacket, holding packets. She expresses, 'I have awful imposter syndrome, and often wonder if I am doing this right,' reflecting her vulnerability.
My struggles as an autistic & ADHD content creator
As my social media accounts continue to grow, I am becoming acutely aware of just how hard it is to be perceived and judged by the general public. The more mean comments I get, the more I start to question my value and worth as a creator. At the core of my being, I know why I do this: For visibi

A hand holds the cover of "THE AUTISTIC BURNOUT WORKBOOK," which offers guidance on sensory self-care, masking, spoon theory, and nervous system regulation. Overlay text reads "BOOKS That shaped me" with star ratings.
An open page of the workbook displays "CHAPTER 1 What Is Autistic Burnout?" in large blue text. The page number 11 is visible at the bottom.
A page from the workbook details "The Impact of Autistic Burnout on Your Life," covering effects on physical health, relationships, mental health, quality of life, daily living, and work/academics.
Workbook Review: Autistic Burnout 🥵
This workbook has truly been such a validating read for me. It breaks down masking, spoon theory, sensory overwhelm, and nervous system regulation that makes everything feel “human” instead of clinically overwhelming. What I appreciate most is how deeply relatable it is. There were so many mome
