Random neurodivergent expression

Boo. It’s me. πŸ‘»

My name is Cindy. I am 34 years old and neurodivergent. These blogs are just who I am and what I am feeling at the current time they are posted or random things I enjoy. Some deep, some not.

  • This weekend there were many local craft fairs and I was excited to participate in one of them for the first time. This past month I have been making a variety of things – stickers, ornaments, cards, things out of clay. I learned so much in the process! Here are a few of the things…

  • Something that I have struggled with before is giving myself grace and treating myself with the same patience and understanding I give others. I think this is partially due to other people not giving me grace over the years. Even if I gave them patience and understanding and forgave them for mistakes, I didn’t seem…

  • I have always loved Halloween. I’m the type of person to dress up for it even if I just stay home and have nowhere to go. This halloween I actually had a few places to go – a day party and a 5-6 hour live concert at night. For the day party I helped set…
