A crackling rosie begonia, angel wing that is very crinkly, and sort of jagged looking dark green leaves with bright pink polka dots. a small pot held in a left hand with so many leaves you can't really see the pot.

A crackling rosie begonia, angel wing that is very crinkly, and sort of jagged looking dark green leaves with bright pink polka dots. a small pot held in a left hand and it's from the back so you can see the pot and that it has a green cane stem with multiple growth points. The under the wing color is a bright red, which is backlit a bit in parts by the grow light of the cabinet.

these pictures are 10 days apart. I can see where the leaf is more green vs. more bright orange how the marbling is going to emerge. this leaf is going to be high color, I think!

if you follow the thread back you can see the more mature leaves on the same plant to see what I mean about variegation
a bright orange jagged arrowhead shaped leaf. it's sort of the shape of a butterfly but if the two wings were fused at the bottom. A left hand is pinching the leaf and pulling it taut for the camera. You can see a slightly damaged leaf of the same plant below, and a highly variegated tip of another mature leaf in the top right of the frame. You can see down the stems to the pot, which is full of tree fern and coco husk chips. Some sections of the main leaf have more of a green hue rather than being strictly bright orange.

Autism: my safe food is toast

ADHD: I require variety and novelty

A paper plate held in a left hand with four slices of white sliced bread toast, all with different spreads. At 12 o’clock we have just buttered toast. Going clockwise there is cinnamon and powdered sugar, then creamy peanut butter, then blueberry jelly.

*disassociates into leaves again* this is the same one as below and it looks so dark purple, it's almost black, but it doesn't show the same on camera
a dark red/green/purple anthurium new emergent leaf, about the size of two pieces of gum side by side, with bright red/burgandy veins. you can see the pot of dirt behind it and two green stems from the same plant. It's being pinched by the left hand of a white person and pulled taut for the camera.

just gonna disassociate into some leaves for a while #WTFucculent
a bright orange new emergent anthurium leaf being pinched at the tip and pulled taut for the camera by a left hand of a white person wearing a silver thumb ring. The leaf has a bright green sinus and deep veins already visible. You can see pots below the shot's focus and a few green leaves. a bright orange new emergent anthurium leaf being pinched at the tip and pulled taut for the camera by a left hand of a white person wearing a silver thumb ring.

before I added the cat & phone my mentee thought that the doodle man was drowning in a pool

*car salesperson voice* but if you or another adult would benefit from psychiatric medication, an evaluation for autism, or personal coaching - these are things I offer in NH, MA, CT, & NY via Telehealth!

The small box is now unpacked! No problem squeezing the babies in so far

Here’s a little guy a seller gave me as a birthday present! Isn’t he cute???
A tiny 3 leaf seedling in moss. It’s an anthurium in a plastic cup and it’s very small. The biggest leaf might be the size of a dime. Behind the cup is a tag that has a man’s cartoon anime style face on it and the label reads Barry Block NoID @JungleBarry1

I stare at leaves and take too many pictures. Especially when I gotta touch grass but it’s winter.
A bright orange new emergent anthurium leaf. It’s shaped like a ruffled arrowhead and has a long dark stem. You can see other green and leaves with yellow aurea colored marbling on the periphery.

*gasp* she's beautiful 🥹
an absolutely stunning thai con monstera leaf with a nearly half moon cream color on the left with beautiful minty striping and a brighter green with lots of cream and minty marbling on the left. It has 3 primary fenestrations on the left and one on the right. It's truly breathtaking if you're into plants as deeply as I am.

This is who I think about when I think about the version of me w/ the strength & smarts to back up whatever plans we're making

She would also have brain fog today, even at her best and we gotta be patient w/ ourselves

(still have that stethoscope but I wish I had those sunglasses)

When outside character limits, I talk a lot about how Neurospace *aspires* to be truly neuro-affirming but until my field agrees on a lot of philosophical updates, I'm left pendulating between the two models in order to help people

(I do my best!)
Neuro-Affirming Care Means: (Adapted from the work of Sonny Jane Wise, LivedExperienceEducator.com #5 - Accommodations are given whenever possible and regardless of a diagnosis. Reasonable accommodation doesn't require formal evaluation! #6 - We keep focus on the "why? of all behaviors, responses, and distress. We work together to address what is most meaningful to you. #7 - Listening to individuals from different communities and validation of lived experiences is essential to the provision of care. #8 - We do not value capitalist ideas of success & independence and reject neuronormativity. The focus is on feeling better. Logo for Neurospace: Affirming Psychiatry & Counseling with a gold seal for ANCC board certification in Psychiatric & Mental Health Nursing www.NeurospaceAPC.com

Psychiatry in the current form could never be truly neuro-affirming as the field continues to use the pathology model

The myth of psych pathology served us in the past, but no longer

It's time to bridge the massive gap between the status quo of psych & the Neurodiversity movement

(I do my best!)
Neuro-Affirming Care Means: (Adapted from the work of Sonny Jane Wise, LivedExperienceEducator.com #1 - Goals are defined by you and not by your clinician, healthcare provider, or family members. Your goals are our goals! #2 - Care is focused on reducing distress, not changing your traits or who you are. There's no such thing as normal! #3 - We prioritize connection over "compliance". We promote advocacy & autonomy. #4 - We recognize intersectionality and presume competence. You know yourself best!

This is Hannah! She has been a professional DJ for 47 years & wears black lipstick daily. She won a global dance competition as a child & is sure that everyone knows about it within 15 minutes of meeting her. Hannah is cool despite herself & will also make sure that you know that within 15 minutes.
A crackling Rosie begonia with 5-6 leaves in a glass cabinet. The leaves are very dark green and red with bright pink polka dots. They’re crinkly wrinkly edges and angel wing which makes them look sort of gothy daggery.
