Que Sara Sara

When I was 5 I was at my babysitters house playing outside with the other kids. It was winter and she had a nice hill to sled on. I finally got ahold of one of the orange sleds. I was excited because they were faster. Apparently I had gotten new boots and was showing them…

So, I have all my plants on a schedule. I had bought these little chamomile and lavender seeds (and they are little) and had been misting them with water. Those are drowned now. I have a star succulent that is now over watered. I’m so upset. My dad just drowned everything with water because “they…

I’m done talking about Roe vs Wade. I’m done hearing about it. My opinion is never correct, wanted, or valid. I am no one.

My work, as a teacher’s aid, got done for the summer Jun 17th. Since then I have been on the go almost constantly with personal development classes, events, and doctor appointments. Something has been going on every single day. I’m tired. I am so tired. On top of that I am still only 4 weeks…

Medical gaslighting is something that many autistics encounter. My latest is around long covid. It started the week I went back to work after being out from covid. My resting pulse was very high for me. I usually hang around 65-72. I was at workout level (90+) for over 30 minutes, of which I was…

You ever take your meds that regulate you too early? Yeah, I did. Now here it is 7pm, 6.5 hours later, and I’m trying not to go off the deep end and hurt someone. I’m not talking. I just can’t. Not a good idea. Maybe I’ll take an anti anxiety and hope that helps. I…

Did you know that 70% of neurodivergents identify somewhere on the LGBTQ+ spectrum? I was late diagnosed as autistic. I was even later coming out of the closet. I think those two things went hand in hand. When I was a teen and in my early 20s I thought I was bi sexual. But then…

The title is from an old song. I don’t recall which one. I think Jimmy Durante sang it. Anyway, I digress… Temperature regulation is a hard one for me, and for many autistics. When you get hot you get much too hot, and same with cold. You might be temperature sensitive as well. I know…

A common comorbidity for autistics is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). There are, I believe, 13 (or 12?) types. Though I don’t fit the general criteria for getting a blood test for EDS, I am hypermobile in many of my joints, such as elbows (I can hyper-twist but not hyper-extend), fingertips and toes, hips, knees, wrists, ankles…

So, I have an art desk in my room. Great! I figured that is where I put my drawing book. I removed the piles of clothes, some left over from last fall and winter. Some current. That is the nature of ADHD: one huge doom pile. My book wasn’t there. So, I put things back.…
