    You deserve to survive this. Please stay.

    And if staying out of spite helps you, it has gotten me through some tough times.

  • 126 Slow Days Make Flow Days

    126 Slow Days Make Flow Days
    Jan 3 2026

    Flow is pleasant and often productive. It may also require some guardrails to be healthy for AuDHDers, especially those of us on the very monotropic side.

    It's often easy for us to get into flow and hyperfocus, and to stay in them until they stop feeling pleasant.

    Adding in more rest and recovery, including preparatory rest as needed, can really help!

    It's also okay to avoid flow states for a period of time, as I am right now for the most part.

  • 125 Autistic Play Saves Lives with Max Alexander

    125 Autistic Play Saves Lives with Max Alexander
    Dec 27 2025

    Max Alexander is an artist and play worker who has mapped some common shapes of autistic play. He's passionate about neuro-affirming play for all ages.

    Play is both a healing tool, and can help prevent some of the effects of trauma (we touch on this lightly, a concept I learned from Linda Thai)

    One possible way to apply the play styles is noticing which ones speak to you, and which ones you're already engaging in, then leaning into those.

    The ebook is free, and it's a quick and excellent read!


    Apologies for the audio quality. Max was using a headset and didn't have an actual microphone, so I did the best I could to clean it up
