The Fourth of July can be challenging for individuals with autism due to sensory sensitivities, but with preparation and accommodations, it can be a positive experience. Loud noises, bright lights, and crowds can be overwhelming, but strategies like using noise-canceling headphones, creating quiet spaces, and preparing in advance can help. My kids first time, I let them watch videos first and warned them that the fireworks will be loud; they don't like surprises. I always focused on my kids saying the colors of the fireworks to help them switch to the "logic" side of their brains, and help them focus on something they can sort of "control;" this really helped them enjoy the fireworks better. If that isn't enough, sometimes we will park far away from the fireworks so we can really only see the ones that go really high up, so that way the sound isn't as loud. Plus being away from the crowds is also helpful. Headphones and sometimes those sunglasses they give you for looking at Christmas lights or at an eclipse can be good because it makes the colors a little more muted and they felt safer with the glasses on. Also, think about going just for the first part of the show, then leaving before the finale happens-super loud, super bright, and you miss a lot of the traffic and crowds while leaving. Happy 4th! Have fun and stay safe!
*This all can also help those with PTSD*

Autism isn’t always what we think it is. My own journey for myself and both of my kids has been full of ups and downs. Let me help guide you on your own journey. Let me help support you.

Actress Chloé Hayden is best known for her role as Quinnie on the popular TV show "Heartbreak High" — one of the first-ever autistic characters to actually be played by an autistic person. Now, she's inviting us to imagine a world where seeing autistic people in any role isn't groundbreaking, it'...

Narcissists can be very tricky to be around. Let me help you understand them better so that you can make informed choices, feel more empowered, and have some support!

**Narcissists constantly lie.** They completely distort the truth to have control of any situation. They lash out at anyone who disagrees with them. Their lies and deceptions are made extremely believable so they can manipulate friends and family members. A narcissist lies so much that they truly believe their own lies!

What makes narcissistic lying so dangerous is that it’s not always obvious. These are not just small fibs or white lies — their deceptions are strategic. Lies become tools for manipulation, used to create confusion, cover up abuse, and destroy the reputations of anyone who threatens their carefully constructed facade. They will lie about you to others, and lie to you about others — all to isolate, control, and maintain dominance.

Over time, being around a narcissist who constantly lies can lead to self-doubt and emotional exhaustion. You start to question your own memory, your version of events, your feelings — all because their gaslighting has trained you to distrust yourself. This is by design. The more uncertain you are, the easier you are to control.

Their lies can be charming, too. Narcissists often appear charismatic and convincing, especially in public. They wear masks — the caring partner, the doting parent, the generous friend — and fool people into believing they are kind and good. But behind closed doors, the truth is often very different.

And yes — they lie so much that they begin to believe their own fabrications. In doing so, they avoid facing their real selves. Because truth exposes them — and that’s the one thing they fear most.

EXCITING NEWS!!!

I recently obtained my certification for being a Certified Narcissistic Abuse Healing Practitioner! If you are in a relationship with anyone who falls into that category, be it a coworker, family member, significant other, friend, etc I can help you understand the game you are in (probably without knowing it), how to figure out what is actually going on, recognize it in the moment, find ways to not take it personally, and learn to transmute the frustrations. I educate you and help support you, because narcissists have a way of making us feel like WE are the crazy ones! So if you need help with a narcissist in your life, I would love to be there to support you so you don’t feel so isolated.
