I’ve been a little AWOL on this platform, and there’s a few reasons for that. First, let me share some of the good things that have happened.
First, I’ve signed on with a publicist for The Ghost and the Real Girl! He reached out to me based on a few Facebook posts I’ve made, and I’ve gotten some great publicity opportunities with him so far. I’m excited to see where this will lead!
Second, I’ve started playing this adorable game called Cozy Grove. You run around a haunted island and help out ghost bears to find their memories and be at peace. It’s got an adorable art style, and the lore slowly teases out as you play. It’s very soothing.
Now, for the bad stuff.
At the end of November, I majorly overextended myself and sent myself straight into autistic meltdown. It was a very difficult period, and I honestly don’t remember much of it. I went through my daily routine, and any difference in it led to another meltdown, since I was still fragile from the first one.
Since I had this rough start to the month, I am just now getting back to normal. Living with autism sucks. Like, pretty majorly sucks. There are some parts about it that are nice, like my hyperacusis letting me copy people and make my students go “WOW”, but for the most part? It sucks.
I’m back to my normal routine, and soon I’ll have more exciting news to share. I just wanted to give you guys an update, since I’ve been fairly radio silent lately.
Take care of yourselves, and happy holidays!
