The Hustle Culture Nearly Killed Me
I don’t remember the exact moment I stopped recognizing myself. Maybe it was the third night in a row I fell asleep in my car with my laptop still glowing on my thighs. Or maybe it was the morning I coughed up blood into a paper napkin, wiped it clean, and just… kept typing. Like a machine. Like a woman possessed.

Autism and the Caregiver Experience: Navigating Neurodiversity and Social Challenges
Introduction Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent challenges in social interaction, communication, and behavior. As the prevalence of ASD continues to rise globally, awareness of the condition has increased. However, less attention is given to the caregivers of individuals with autism—those who navigate daily responsibilities that often involve emotional, financial, and social strain. This article explores not only the neuropsychological aspects of ASD but also the social dynamics and mental health consequences experienced by caregivers. By understanding both perspectives, we aim to shed light on the full ecosystem surrounding autism.

Eating to Fill the Void: When Mental Health Feeds the Mindless Hunger
Lately, I’ve been in a dip. The kind where brushing your teeth feels like too much. The kind where everything is overstimulating and silent at the same time. The kind where your body’s still moving, but your mind is somewhere under the blankets. Still. Fading. Cold.

Why Some People Feel Everything So Deeply (And It’s Not a Flaw)
Some people walk through life and feel... everything. They cry at movie trailers. They get anxious before sending a text. They can sense when someone else is hurting — even if that person is silent. And sometimes, they wonder: “What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I just let things go like everyone else?”

Sensory Toys and Spaces
As more awareness about neurodiversity becomes available, so too does understanding and acceptance of places and things to accommodate it. As an autistic person, I have watched places grow and develop new programs and services for the neurodivergent community as I have grown up. They were rare to unheard of when I was growing up in rural California. Particularly libraries were pioneers in creating these spaces or allowing check-outs of fidget and sensory toys. But as time progresses and I'm seeing more and more acceptance, I have started to see such spaces pop up in festivals and conventions as well. There will, in these cases, usually be a quiet room filled with sensory toys and/or weighted blankets.

Targeted
We proceeded to my office for our session, and she immediately noticed the new art on my wall. Over the years, I've created numerous abstract pieces of trauma art that represent the work I do with my clients, and I like to hang them on my walls for inspiration.
