TLDR: Quick hack is to specify urgency of the support you are requesting from a partner. A partner who may be a slower processor, or that isn't aware of the time sensitive nature of your request, is likely to miss the mark. If you've not communicated time preferences, it is important to be explicit.

This is generalised information and does not replace individualised support and therapeutic advice. Please consult with an allied health clinician, if you are requiring more support in your partnership.

My absolute favourite part of therapy is when partners are on the same page without even realising!

You would be surprised how often this can happen 💓🎉

So..what is embodiment?

Embodiment is the representation or expression of something in a tangible or visible form; it is the congruence and alignment across mind, body and self-oriented reflection and actions (Lundh & Foster, 2024). Where we see mismatched words and actions, it is a cue of incongruence or disharmony across our minds, bodies and, self-oriented actions and reflections (Legrand, 2011).

It is NOT a bad thing! This cue supports how we differentiate what resonates with us and what does not, and can guide us to what feels more aligned.

For many Autistic and ADHD individuals, we have a history of being taught to suppress, minimise and deny our experiences and truth (Hanai, et al., 2024). This can make it hard for us, particularly with the added pressure of interoception differences and alexithymia (Heaton, 2012). What this means is we may not be able to determine what “feels” right or wrong for us, or we may follow the rules that others set for us, without questioning whether or not we actually agree or resonate with it.

When we learn to understand what resonates with us, we become more connected and increase our sense of fulfilment and life satisfaction (Cooper, 2022). This is the least that we owe to ourselves as Autistic/ADHD’ers.❤️

This one might have a bit of a bitter taste in your mouth. This extension of grace is to people who have the positionality within the world right now, to make the greatest deal of impact and change. I am open to respectful debate, but will not be responding to people who are wanting to troll or argue unnecessarily. Thanks ❤️

What is the Take-care e-package? A small bundle of FREE, accessible resources from online that you can access with a desktop or phone (so long as you have internet access) to support yourself when things get rough. Use this resource for yourself when things feel tough, or even if you are feeling a little bit lost. It is not a “fix-all” but it definitely is a wonderful toolkit to have when the world is hard.

This includes links to websites and resources including: visual, auditory, tactile, meditative, mindfulness, good news in the world, animals on live streams, music playlists etc. ❤️

I made this post because I have been sitting on this resource now for several years, which I made for some friends back in the day when I had a Tumblr account. However, I have since adapted it and developed it to include more relevant and new resources too. I know it is tough out there for our community and the world, and we all deserve some care. I am hoping that this can bring some sense of ease.

If you are an allied health clinician, please do not use this item for your business. This is my IP and I am tired of my work being taken and spread to others without the financial labour considerations. Ideally, just link your clients to my resource section please. ❤️ LINK IN BIO

This poem is called "Attention is currency". Look, it's A LITTLE BIT POLITICAL BUT ITS SATIRE AND ITS EXPRESSION AND WE CANT ALL TAKE LIFE SO SERIOUSLY. But also, it's a commentary that's somewhat ironic being posted on a social platform. It's 5 mins long, so if I have your attention for the entire duration, I'll be proud.

Curious about your thoughts?

We somehow expect apologies to come naturally, and I am not sure why that is. So many of us have had to apologise for being Autistic or ADHD, and have paid the consequences for our mere existence. Add your own [intersectional complexity here], and then all of a sudden, the apology for our existence becomes even more significant.

And so we began to apologise so frequently, the art of apology has died. It is not to say that I do not believe apologies can be genuine, but that I believe after years of conditioning, our apologies are often rooted in the narrative we are taught “say sorry when you do something wrong”. There is no after thought or deeper consideration as to what was done, not because we did not mean it - but because we have been taught to always be sorry.

Love language ND credit to OG

But do you know the styles of apologies that you actually need or like or seek out with repair? I didn’t know there were apology languages until I heard of love languages including: Expressing Regret; Accepting responsibility; Making restitution; Genuinely repenting/reparations; and Requesting forgiveness. But for some reason, in my head, I don’t feel like these are fully applicable to neurodivergents. I will still argue that yes, they all matter and they all vary with how they are received.

Much like the love languages, I think some ND love needs weaving in. Some examples I have made (YES MY OWN!), so if you steal it - credit it. TA! Because this is some OG written stuff ❣️✨

1. Acknowledging impact

2. Explaining our actions

3. Collaborative action prevention

4. Reimbursement of effort

5. Reflecting an understanding of why we are upset

Since I began thinking more about apologies, I felt that the ones I came up with were far more apt. It also allowed me to be more conscious about the way I want to apologise and learn about my loved ones 💓💕🥰

Next on: Water is wet 🌊

The UK’s Cass Review contains “striking” internal contradictions, methodological problems and ethical flaws, according to a newly published academic article in The Medical Journal of Australia.

The article - authored by multiple clinicians and researchers - found that Australia’s healthcare for trans young people and those questioning their gender is recognised internationally as best practice.

The Cass Review has been criticised globally, so this new research offers a fresh perspective of how Australia’s holistic model for gender affirming care supports young people and their families to navigate their gender journey.

Self-pleasure in front of mirrors can be a really fun (but confronting) task. Have you ever given this a go? It is definitely not for the faint-hearted, but it is also definitely worth a try if you are open to it. Mirror self-pleasure (solo or partnered) uses a mirror to explore arousal, body curiosity, and connection. It also does require a level of vulnerability and meeting yourself in truth and all of the naked vulnerability that follows.
It is also a great tool for exploration for a few different areas:
Interoception & presence: noticing breath, tension, temperature, micro-pleasures.
Body neutrality: shifting from “how I look” to “what I feel.” BUT also looking at yourself by observing, not judging.
Communication: learning to read your own cues, check pacing, and notice your reactions.
Visual feedback: visual feedback can reduce ambiguity and increase predictability.And then you can start… no s*xual starts needed either honestly. Start with curiosity if s*xual pleasure feels too fast. Self-pleasure can be sensual, and does not always require you to be s*xual.

Go at the pace that feels best for you.
