This time of year can be festive—or overwhelming. For neurodivergent brains, the season sometimes feels like sensory chaos wrapped in tinsel.

Pro tip: Create a “calm corner” at gatherings, bring your own comfort items, and schedule downtime like it’s sacred (because it is).

Neurodiversity isn’t “bah humbug.” It’s a reminder that joy looks different for everyone.

The holiday season comes with two things: pie and pressure 🥧
Family asking when you’re getting married? Uncle oversharing politics at dinner? Your boundaries are not up for debate.

Practice this line: “That doesn’t work for me.” Period. Boundaries protect your peace, not your reputation.

Relationships don’t fail because of “one big thing.” They crack from the tiny stuff—snappy comments, avoiding hard talks, scrolling instead of connecting.

Don’t be the Michael Myers of the friend group. If your stress levels are impacting your daily life, don’t act out like Michael did--just go to therapy!

Pro tip: Your stress is telling you something—it’s not a personality flaw, it’s a signal. Listen, then act. (Hint: “Acting” can look like therapy, boundaries, or saying no to the third committee you were “voluntold” for.)

Because silence helps no one—and support can change everything.
