Someone recently asked me (respectfully) if I am on the autism spectrum. I’ve decided to speak to my psychiatrist about it. I know I have CPTSD and Bipolar Disorder, both of which are considered neurodivergence, but I’ve never asked her about ASD before.

but with enough care
it can grow into a

that even darkness
cannot hide it

My massage therapist and I have really bonded over the past few months. We are both neurodivergent and have both been through a lot of trauma in our lives. We have very deep conversations every time I have an appointment with her.

Aside from increasing my veg intake I have added walnuts and natural peanut butter to my diet. Now to decrease my sugar and caffeine intake. I’m also trying intermittent fasting (14:10) on most days of the week. Doing all this to feel better, not lose weight.

Finally at the point where most of my eczema flare ups heal with just plain moisturiser and no steroid cream is needed. Thank you Methotrexate!
