just your gentle little permission slip: stop letting people outside of your relationship tell you how it needs to look. So long as those you are in partnership with are mutually consenting, respectful and responsible - it actually is nobody else's business.

Small pockets of time have become one of my favourite ways that I have begun to honour my needs recently. I am a fairly exhausted human, and after three and a half years came out of the heaviest bout of chronic burnout (though frequently dip in and out of acute stages still). And I promised myself I would redirect myself every time I saw an acute stages entering, by doing something for myself differently. Carving out time is hard when there's limited capacity, but this morning I gave myself 15 minutes before I started work to read my book.

Finding small windows to look after my mind and health across the day is now how I operate. Calling myself out when I'm rushing, to go slower. Pausing when I'm pouring hot water into my tea, to watch the teabag change the colouring of the water upon heat entering into the mug. Small moments, self-carved and just long enough to be both mindful, present and connected outside of technology (to some extent anyway). As time goes on, I find myself wanting to quit social media altogether. How do you pause throughout the day or honour your needs on a small daily practice basis?

The video itself was actually a little bit funny (despite content creation like this being deeply w***y in some forms). I wanted to make a deeper video, but low spoons. instead, I just put on a time lapse and let myself be uncomfortable with being perceived by the camera in such a way.

I didn't realise how much I actually talk out loud to myself while reading and how much my feet and body are constantly moving while I absorb information.

Understanding who your “people" are may be difficult for you to discern, especially when you have felt like you struggle to “fit-in” socially. There is no right or wrong way, but it is useful to gauge how you identify connection because this sometimes can differ from others.

The tricky thing about connection building is that as humans, we are wired for connection. Being Autistic and/or ADHD can come with its own set of differences and difficulties across social contexts too, which means we might feel the need to overcompensate (whether in moving towards or away from others).

A simple but helpful reminder that we can tell ourselves:

Our disabilities are variable and dynamic. This means, our capacity and ability to do things (like building and maintaining connections) will fluctuate depending upon our accessible resources and the demands that are present.

This does not make you a failure. But it also does not erase your responsibility to your loved ones either. We tend to fall into “fundamental attribution error” which is a cognitive attribution bias (bias in thought), where we (as observers/reflectors) tend to underemphasise situational and environmental factors for the behaviour of a person, while overemphasising dispositional or personality factors. A really simple and useful barometer/tool that you can implement when trying to navigate your connections when you are beginning to develop them (or if they do not appear to be working) may include some conversations that “typically” happen naturally; but may require you to be explicit: Direct, Clear and Mutually Agreed. NOTE: This might not work or be applicable for everybody! It can feel very unnatural for some. This is because it goes “against” social norms.
Capacity fluctuations will supersede your desire for connection sometimes. This does not make you a bad friend or person. You will disappoint people, and that is OK. And for those who value the connection, they will often understand with ease ❤️

Singing (and music/sound making) is one of the most ancient forms of healing and catharsis that we can rely upon during difficult times. For me, last year, I may or may not have become a teensy bit (a lotta bit) obsessed with Wicked: For Good. I deeply resonate with Elphaba as a character, but also the general underpinnings and timing of the movie itself hold so much power while the current political climate runs in parallel. Everything is political and instead of feeling entirely defeated, I'm opting for creative expression. I'm opting to sing a song that gives me hope, and that symbolises deeper threads. I'm obvi not a professional singer, but one thing the literature is really cool at showing lately is that singing helps the vagal nerve/tone calm the f**k down. So, do with that what you will.

made this post because liminal spaces are where I am operating from in my own world right now. While we see the world around us, and engage with what is happening - it is important to not lose sight or hope of what the world can offer us (even in the face of destruction and chaos). When it feels like our hand has been dealt to us, it can feel like we are without choice. But when we extend our aperture, there are always opportunities (whether it is a shift in perspective or challenging what is happening). Learned helplessness is what can cause us to feel stuck, but perhaps it is a delicious discomfort that can remind us to reflect and explore different alternatives that we would otherwise not be open to. ❤️

There are so many presentations upcoming this year, but one that I am personally and intimately connected with (due to the relationship built over several amazing years) is with the YLB Team. I am so honoured and grateful to be presenting at the 2026 Yellow Ladybugs Conference, a neuro-affirming and transformative conference running from 2-4 June 2026.
I’ll be discussing how autistic teens navigate identity, belonging and connection, and how adults can create safer spaces for this exploration. I am very excited to do this with the incredible .beyond.binaries as it is a very sensitive and special topic close to both of our hearts. It is definitely going to be one you wouldn't wanna miss ,because we will talk about all things deep, dark and real. And this is alongside an incredible lineup of autistic presenters, professionals, and lived experience advocates.
You can join online from anywhere in the world with live and OnDemand access for 90 days.
Hybrid tickets include the Day 3 in Melbourne at Hyatt Place, Essendon Fields.

I am speechless. I am grieving. The world feels so heavy right now. All I can do is sing. All I can do is fight through small moments of resistance through art. I don't have many words right now. So I hope at least through song, I can communicate what I'm feeling. This is all I've got in me right now, while I maintain the work I do.

Part of the work that I do as an Audhd clinical psychologist that works with partnerships and relational intimacy as my lil bread n butter 🧈, is helping people to understand their own coping mechanisms. Often, when people come to therapy, it is important to get an idea of our own individual coping styles FIRST before we move into coping within partnership. Relational healing requires self-knowledge about how you operate in contexts with people you are in relationship with (regardless of which form of relationship). Conflict management starts to become healthier, safer and clearer when people have an idea of their own individual needs, wants, activation points or triggers, and regulation tools.

I want to acknowledge that this post was largely made from the influence and amazing perspective of .cypher who provided valuable insights surrounding inner witnessing, self abandonment and self-trust. That video did something internally to me (and I reposted as such but happy to link if anyone wants to watch it).

In light of this, I am coming from the perspective of recognising this as a recurrent theme over the last few weeks (I actually recorded this last week and just forgot to post it) and felt called to share my own thoughts on this, with respect to Autistic ADHD individuals who more often than not, have experienced difficulties with self-trust.
What I do notice as well, is that whenever we outsource other people to confirm our beliefs (or deny them), we rupture a moment of trust within ourselves to be adequate enough to make a choice of our own volition. By proxy, we rob ourselves of the opportunity to build more moments for self trust when we erase it through needing others. There is nothing wrong with seeking validation, just as a reminder. It is just important we practice building moments and opportunities to learn about ourselves through ourselves too.

please note: this is generic advice and information, which stemmed largely from inspiration that was driven by Justin Scott, a tiktok user who engages in dialogue passionately and thoughtfully. If you require personalised support, please consult an individualised clinician.

I'm now up to my gestures and greetings module and it's fantastic! But I'm finding it to be really challenging as an Autistic person who does not often integrate my gestures and eye contact conveniently. It simultaneously slows down my thought process because often my body is not as quick as my processing speed, so it actually slows me down in a way that I believe allows me to consider what word choices I am seeking to use. I love it too, and have found it the easiest language to grasp so far (Duolingo currently has spent all it's time threatening me for not learning beyond the very basic intros for German and Italian which I dropped off last year).

Anyway, what signs do you think could be helpful to learn?
