A Lego boat project keeping me going mostly days when work flees or is impossible 4 my trauma brain.

I have picture in head of ‘what’ but have 2 physically put bricks together not ‘draw a plan’ 2 create MOC’s. Plus a few pieces are custom.

I try to never sit down with nothing to do.

#AuDHD #Lego
A Lego Viking boat, 12 rowers on board putting their oats away as it’s gently touching land. Boat and base made from pieces not a kit. The boat is resting on a 4 base plate base created to looks like sea on 3 using three different colours of blue with a fourth plate forming a beach and low cliff with 3 trees on top surrounded by ferns. There is a horse and rider on the beach along with a person with a bucket and a small dog. One person has jumped over the side and is only visible waste up. There are 6 rowers per side, one person on the tiller and 5 passengers with 1 dog and 3 cats. A raven is visible on top one of the trees.

#Biro #AuDHD #NDArtist
Sketch of a semi abstract bird drawn loosely in biro. They are sat down with banded legs stretching out in front eyes looking forward intently a tooth beak nibbling at a hair ball denting fibres everywhere. The bird has a dark tangled hairy head.

Hey jon did you panic?

During a near miss while taking off when a 747 tried to land on your 727

No

When others watching thought you were a gonner when gustnado caught you out in open

No

When you dealt with someone dying infront of you & distressed wife

No

Where are your keys?
Oh god!

#AuDHD

Our ‘pot’ grown apples & pears. Pears (2 trees & types) gave us more than 1 pear for the first time this year - Not so big apples this year, some have cosmetic damage (3 trees cooking & eating, 1 none!) but they all make wonderful Applesauce

All pesticide, coating & fertiliser free

#GrowYourOwn
A plastic bowl filled with apples mostly are green but some have a red stripey colouring too. They all look very natural, some have insect marks and cosmetic black patches where they’ve been damaged while growing all are perfectly edible A Plastic bowl with at least 25 pears, some are bigger and some small all mostly green with brown speckling

A biro drawing of a diverse set of surreal birds & creatures including spirals oysters thin birds with large eyes and big beaks with one person in the middle asking the question’ written at the top saying ‘where is meaningful support and Lego boxes of possibility’ extra text at bottom ‘the individual is at the centre’ some of the creatures are pointing to another drifting away.

Observer today
Presenting tomorrow

As older #Autistic people we need to tell our stories experiences & narratives

But all voices need to be heard

Not just raising understanding in society but support 4 nextgens to hear from #autistic people who lived in challenging times

#AECongress2025 #AuDHD
Looking at a street, grass in front and a railing. A triangular sign with 2 posters facing out say ‘14th Autism Europe international Congress - Quality of life - Research Policy and Practice’ Observer today. Speaking tomorrow on ‘Trauma, creativity & autistic narratives’. Autistic peoples story’s are so important not only to raise understanding in society but especially for AuDHD nextgens - so they don’t hurt for life like us older autistic people where our QOL was/is poor due to missunderstanding oppression and bullying at school and employment. This Has to change and There has to be more opportunities to do this.
