Do you hear that lightbulb buzzing? 😣

Did you know that most people don’t notice the feeling of clothing tags? I used to think that everyone felt the same itchy irritation I did, and that I was just worse at coping. But, when I started researching sensory processing to support my own child, I learned something life shattering. I wasn’t worse at…

Brain Fog ☁️

I’m entering my 7th year of parenting. How did that happen? Within a year of giving birth I started making art to process my experience. That was the beginning of This is My Brain on Motherhood. Seven years later, I think I’ve fully integrated the identity of parent.* Which means I’d like to complete this…

Meander

Over the last decade I have been neuroqueering my creative practice. Setting aside neurotypical, able bodied, and capitalist expectations for consistency, branding, and profit like the ill fitting shoes they are.* Looking back, the times in my life I was rigidly consistent I was run deeply outside my own capacity, which over time took a…

How do you illustrate neurodivergence?

I’m back this week with an update on the picture book How it Feels to Me. This is a book about neurodivergence and sensory processing I’m co-creating with illustrator Gracie Klumpp. It’s fully crowdfunded and coming out later this year! Last year we ran into some challenges due to substandard quality of our first proof.…

There’s some good in the world Mr. Frodo. ⛰️

Samwise: It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go…

Trenches, I am in them.

While the neurotypical world is chanting “new year, new you” many autistic and otherwise neurodivergent folks are just struggling to get the train back on the tracks in January. Our family finds the holiday season quite difficult. Even with our best intentions to slow down and do Christmas in our own ways the change of…

This Changed Everything

My neurodivergent experience includes time blindness, which is magnified when working on a creative project and reaching flow state. This has some benefits, but one downside is that I have no idea how much time I’m sinking into individual projects. After one of the most creative years of my life in 2023 somehow 2024 was…

Festive Recipes & Free Books ✨

One last update before I shift into holiday hibernation. Socializing and changes in routine can take a lot of energy for an autistic. So we really prioritize gentle self regulation in December. A Correction for the Boundary Zine Last month I wrote about neurodivergent boundaries and shared a printable zine. I noticed that I accidentally…

Entwined & Ember Book Launch! 🌿
