There are a lot of celebrity death hoaxes out there. I really wish this was one of them.

Your existence is valid, whatever that existence may look like.
You are valid as the person–as the adult–you are, no matter what skills you do or don’t have and how self-sufficient you are or aren’t.

Meet PecanlyDesigns. The designs in my shop… Continue reading PecanlyDesigns ; A New Venture In Idea-sharing
[CW: Ableism, filicide (murder of children), abuse, death]We must make it known that we will not tolerate or accept this.
May there be fewer lives lost to disabled filicide this year, and next year, and every year after that.

It’s the ability that allows you to dine out with your friends and family in a crowded, noisy restaurant and make… Continue reading “Actually, I Didn’t Hear You”: Auditory Processing Difficulties
