  Autistic Creativity: Blooming Originality in a Neurotypical World

  Apr 2, 202616 minS0

  <p>Send us Fan Mail</p><p>Come join the conversation where we explore autistic creativity as a quiet, original form rooted in noticing patterns, deep feeling, and seeing what others miss. Let's challenge the myth that autism blocks creativity, cite research showing autistic people may produce fewer ideas on divergent-thinking tests but with greater originality, plus advantages in linguistic originality and links between emotional empathy and creative engagement. AuDHD can combine ADHD spark with autistic depth by core strengths—hyperfocus and special interests, pattern recognition, sensory processing differences, authenticity, and emotional depth.</p><p><br/></p><p>Instagram 📱: @blossom.and.t...

  Finding Joy When All Hope is Lost

  Mar 14, 202624 minS0

  <p>Send us Fan Mail</p><p>In Episode 10 of the 2026 “careless era” series, Annelise shares her personal burnout recovery and how joy can feel distant after years in survival mode, especially for high functioning autistic women. She explains how chronic masking, overload, and pressure can keep the nervous system in sympathetic urgency or dorsal shutdown, leaving little room for pleasure, desire, or curiosity, and contrasts this with ventral vagal regulation where calm, safety, and connection allow joy to emerge. She reframes joy as something that returns through small moments of safety and softness rather than as a reward for achi...

  Mar 6, 202632 minS2

  <p>Send us Fan Mail</p><p>In episode nine of the Women Who Are Autistic New Year’s 2026 “careless era” series, Annelise shares what she’s unlearning about boundaries, rumination, and the exhaustion of overexplaining as self-protection. She explains how autistic women may replay interactions and scan for threat, especially when fear of misinterpretation or rejection is heightened, and outlines how rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) can amplify perceived shifts like delayed texts into intense emotional pain. She explores why real relational safety can feel both beautiful and terrifying, and offers practical ways to calm the nervous system before seeking reassura...

  The First Glimpse: What It Feels Like to Live Differently

  Feb 27, 202613 minS0

  <p>Send us Fan Mail</p><p>n episode nine of the 2026 “careless era” series, Annelise shares a reflection (not advice) on “the first glimpse”—quiet moments when autistic women unmask in small ways, like saying no without overexplaining, adjusting sensory input without apologizing, or asking for processing time—and discover the world doesn’t end. She explains how these glimpses can initially trigger anxiety and guilt because the nervous system has learned that being seen without performance is unsafe, even though masking has carried a heavy toll of exhaustion and burnout. Through examples from women she interviewed—recognizing workplace toxicity sooner...
