I was diagnosed at a young age and went through the special education system in public schools. Family is incredibly important to me as I grew up in a large supportive family. I enjoy being outside in nature and arts and crafts.

I really don’t like uncertainty, or come to think about it, I don’t much like change. I used to ask my mom, over and over again, very similar questions, trying to get an answer about what was going on. Looking back to those days, I’m so impressed with how well my mom handled all my questions, even when she didn’t know the answer.
These days, I wish I could ask her opinion about what is going on lately. I’m pretty sure she would remind me that things often go from one extreme to another, kind of like a pendulum. I know my mom would have been disappointed with all the name-calling and negative ways people talk about other people with whom they disagree with.
There is so much happening so quickly that I find it scary. I feel overwhelmed with the sheer amount of things changing and the way people react to news reports. There is a lot going on that I disagree with, and I wish that I could change it back to the way it was before 2024.
What can I do to feel more comfortable? I can limit the amount of news I consume every day. I can get enough sleep, eat a healthy diet, and try to be kind to others. I can remember not to talk about politics, religion, or money as those are considered to be highly sensitive topics. I need to remind myself that I have friends and family who care about me and that I’m not alone. I can also remember that I have a safety net, which I’m very grateful for. I hope that my readers are taking care of themselves and have coping strategies and people that they feel valued by and safe with as well.
