Good morning, #bluesky friends.
Today, I take another step in the self exploration process.
We continue on the road of adult autism testing.
A chance to go deeper and learn more about me, which in turn, will help me learn more about my kids.
Wish me luck. Hope you all have a great day.

Good afternoon, #neurodiversity community on #bluesky.

Take a moment now for some #selfcare.
Maybe a walk, or a book, or just sitting quietly.
I will be. And I know it will help me launch into the afternoon.
You can do it too.
