    When is a pet, more?

    I believe I get it, the grief is real, it feels for me as deeply as the loss of other two legged loved ones. It's the intuitive connectedness I most appreciated, those innate safe Rogerian conditions of congruence, empathy and unconditional positive regard. As an ADHD ASD late diagnosed woman...

    How Does One Process Death of a Companion?

    For some a loved creature can be a secure attachment; I'm in that group, it could be something similar for you and Luke. It's a connection beyond words or actions, a meeting of minds, of souls even. Very precious animal relationships for me always needed time for grief. I'm 7 months on from...

    Autistic Burnout--what was it like?

    Long story short My worst one felt as if something switch like in my brain was flipped. I remember the moment it happened, I was drowning in grief and loss, many loved ones, safety and security lost, for months on end, my abusive ex husband whom I was trapped with, was taking his temper out on...

    Christmas Decorating?

    As a Christmas treat my secondary school Home Economics teacher taught us how to make the no cook eggnog (she was likely a bit tipsy by the end of the day), different times! I used to make it for years afterwards, I might just dust off that recipe book and give it a go again.

    Christmas Decorating?

    Christmas pudding is a favourite of mine, with extra brandy and custard. Its very dense, like a fruit cake but with way more fruit.

    Christmas Decorating?

    I like Christmas, it brings brightness during the long and dreary winter months. The christmas tree is my yearly challenge; to do as good as or better than the year before. I get a bit obsessed about bauble placement, the continuous supply of satisfaction it brings me when its completed is...

    Nice idea :) I made some more steps towards organisation, didn’t have the headspace to do this for a while.

    Do you like being autistic?

    Generally I like who I am and being ND. I dont like how unnecessarily though life can be at times; when I don't have access to support services for the mental health challenges that result from non-inclusive experiences. That one irritates me.

    Our Haven of Hope

    I hope I can stay as present as possible over the next week, the anxiety has only eased in the last few days so it's gonna be challenging but I have the experience of facing bigger and scarier than this and I've always made it through.

    Have any of used this website for a while but made no friends here?

    It's a strange point in time, I came up through the early internet experience, where friends were an in-person thing, as were relationships. Yet I have felt a connectedness to online friends, beyond discussion and commonalities. Online, as with regular life I've only found friendship success...

    How do you relate to patterns?

    The patterns I notice are mostly social or natural. I used to think the patterns were noticable to me because of hypervigilence or strong empathy. Although there are overlaps, these didn't fully explain this experience of knowing or intuition I have about people or situations. Sometimes I'm...

    What Is Love?

    Hmm, I guess it changes depending on the recipient... I love the natural world, it inspires and creates a sense of awe in me, I'd go to great lengths to protect it, I feel like my authentic self when I'm with animals, in a forest, beside a body of water etc. I feel connected to something bigger...
