While caffeinating this morning I came across the latest from #Creative_Mornings (the world’s largest creative community; hosting local chapter events in cities around the world). They have themes each month and this months is کورسو — the Farsi word Koor·Soo, meaning “a faint glimmer of hope.”

Autism Society of Minnesota (AuSM) is kicking off 2026 with a wonderful new workshop: Growing Up Confident: Shame-Free, Affirming Strategies for Raising Neurodivergent Kids January 15th, 2026, 9-12am CST Presented by Amber Johnson, MA and Sara Pahl, MS, LPCC, BCBA, NCC

In 2026 one small way I hope to build stronger community, support others, and champion people fighting for #Disability Rights is to share #resources. One of my favorite's is #Autism Society of Minnesota ausm.org, founded in 1971 and supporting all of #MN, the whole lifespan, and the whole spectrum.

When you're recovering from ADHD/AuDHD/Autistic burnout, your brain needs rest. That means keeping things very simple—like eating the same meals every day, buying frozen or pre-cut veggies, or saying no to plans for a bit. The idea is to cut down on decisions & mental effort.

14 rapid-fire misconceptions about autism that just won't go away... even though they're wrong, harmful, or have been debunked a thousand times. A thread.

Check your expectations at the door. Unrealistic expectations don’t raise better kids. They raise anxious ones who think love is earned through perfection.

Disturbed by how many people are simply accepting the new HHS Secretary's stigmatizing/eugenicist framings of autism

Is it single minded, or laser focused? Is it obsessive or goal oriented? Is it stubborn or persistent? Is it self-obsorbed or ambitious? And why is it that when autistic people do it, it's always the former and never the latter? 🤔

I would potentially have a lot more time for headlines like this if there was any other way for many people to recognise that they are neurodivergent and start taking steps to actually improve their lives. As there aren't, as there is little support even when diagnosed, I have zero time for them.

Well fellow ADHDers, I've done it. It took all day, but I managed to open the mail. I may even muster the ability to do it again in around six months.

Eventually, everyone deals with disability. Society may push you aside or pretend disability doesn't exist, but we all must deal with it eventually. While the law often goes unenforced, Section 504 requires inclusion and accommodations. 17 states are trying to end that. dredf.org/protect-504/
