Some people are saying that Autistic people on social media are "romanticizing Autism." To these I say: I spent most of my 60 years of life wanting to be like other people. If some people now want to be like me, I'm totally fine with that.

I made another thing!
And despite the fact that I ofc know all the little imperfections, I am sooo proud of it! I spent about 35-45 hours on a new leather purse.

Materials all came from my stash except for the two metal bits to connect the strap, they were mostly inherited, gifted, thrifted. Zippers and buckle were directly recycled from old items.
All leather seams were done by hand.

@AutisticDoctorStruggles Yes! I found a drawer of meticulously arranged and labelled shells from one beach on an island in their tiny museum here in Orkney recently. It almost floored me! Lovely museums, tended by folk who really really love the things.

We went to an old belt/strap factory yesterday that's a museum now. It housed many weaving looms, twinning machines & tons of gigantic spools with yarn. In one little corner I walked into a stash that the owners had saved from an old weaving factory in the same city with tons of spools of synthetic silk in all the colors you can think. All neatly ordered by color & type. hit me so hard, I got totally teary eyed & probably would have cried, had I been alone there.

Why are we calling feudalism ?
There are no ethics in this economy and some fascist believers in whatever would like us to think otherwise. Under the disguise of crumbles' solidarity.
The best way for me to counter this is to become this other that I should be, unmasked.

Hyperfocusing on my makeup application yields significantly better results with the help of the ADHD meds.

I simultaneously feel like I've been cheated by not having access to these meds for this long, but also like I'm somehow betraying my Autistic & ADHD brain chemistry by taking them.

Such a weird experience, but there's been so much more since the formal diagnosis, both with and without medication.

Interesting! Never thought about the flip side of sensory overload is

Our wiring, which makes some stuff so painful, also sets us up to deeply appreciate more subtle experiences like

I may write a blog.

Maybe sit in the sunshine. Get that vitamin D.

My brain has gotten completely stuck on King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's "Magenta Mountain". Like many other songs before it, it's now going on an endless loop in great autistic joy fashion!

That high note in the beginning of the theme tickles my brain just right. 😌

I've had a busy week so far but I just spent another few hours on finishing mending these socks! I just love the repetitiveness but possibility to be creative as well. It was fun to try to keep the original pattern in contrasting colors!

In other news, I have finished reinforcing my thinning socks with my grandma's old mending wool. I called it "satisfyingly repetitive" when I showed my partner the results. It's been giving me some profound with added benefit of prolonging those socks's life.

My new mending project! I'm working on some worn out socks my grandma has knitted for me many years ago. I think I caught it at the right moment where the thread was thinned out but there weren't any holes ripped yet. It's very nice to simply retrace the stitched with the mending yarn! Very meditative! I picked the yarn (inherited from my other granny) slightly different from the original to be able to tell the stitches apart more easily.

Our little harps have been retuned ready for tomorrow’s co-creative session and they’re bringing me a lovely little slice of free-playing them in our camper. Living the dream! 🫧
