That and there is a certain kind of fixation on special interests that really doesn't feel representative of just calling it an "interest." Interests for autistic (or neurodivergent) people delve so much deeper than interests for neurotypical people. Calling it an "interest" doesn't do it justice.

Me too! I really like the phrase. ❤

I’m in a similar place right now. Even thinking about things that brought me joy in the past don’t seem to hold the same appeal and it’s left me feeling a little lost. It’s reassuring to know that I’m not alone.

Thank you Becca. I found your channel via your Monthly Musings newsletter, and am excited to have more ways to connect with your perspective!

We’ll put. If you know you are in a vast ocean, you know it can be beautiful, treacherous, calm, even boring at times with the endless expanse of it, but you can stock your little vessel with a good lantern, a sturdy life jacket, healthy snacks and sugary treats so it won’t be so bad. You can’t change the ocean, but you can equip yourself to handle what comes along. Stay strong! ❤

Sending you positive vibes friend❤❤❤❤

Great reminders! 😃 I hate the phrase ‘hit the ground running’ this time of year. I can’t just switch back to go go go! It’s a great reminder that is OK to go and my own pace. Got your newsletter this morning. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 x

So true!

Do you not think a lot of it to do with the peri/menopause? Love the idea of smart working instead 🎉

🎉❤ Becca!

I have also observed and pondered the access factor in eating food: I always loved eating carrot sticks, but when in burnout I was amazed to discover that the number of steps involved in turning a carrot into a stick was beyond me. The experience highlighted "simplicity of access" in foods to me and that it really does impact my diet. You've articulated the topic excellently!

Would be nice to hear the word in the same video you speak about it? I think your idea might be good for others too. But when I don't get the word - or other words you've used - then I get kind of disappointed. And stop listening. Just wanted to tell you. So you can think about sharing examples of words one can use. Maybe what you chose, and why? Thank You.

I love the F word! Fitting + good for echolalia for sure lol

This is so true and relatable

Thank you.

Oooh I am with you on that! For sure! Been thinking about that today myself, on reflection, looking at what I want. 🫶🏼

I can relate to that

Thanks Becca 😊

Resting isn't too hard for me. I actually usually enjoy it. I've needed more recently. I find dicing and seeing nature very recharging too. In the last several weeks, I've been grateful for the support of family and friends. I've been dealing with health issues. I have a much better support system than I ever thought. Thanks for sharing!

Great topic! I can totally relate.

Hi Becca! Glad to see you back on UA-cam! Like you were describing, there are many little things, or glimmers, that make me happy. I live in a suburban area, but very near rural areas. I talked a drive almost every morning. I often see dear, wild turkeys, and other birds. This morning, I spent time watching a couple of Downey Woodpeckers working on a tree. I also saw an eagle in flight. Unfortunately, I didn't get good pics. Little joys like that keep me going.

Thank you so much for this, Becca! Many things you mention serve as valuable reminders for me. Plus, a light bulb went off on the POTS/salty munchies moment. Are we from the same gene pool? Take care and say hey to Antonio! (Listened on delay due to some Sunday routines).

yes👍 I like this thought process. Miss u Becca. hope things are going good with u🤗💜

Thank you for this video Becca. Sorry, I'm late to watch as always, but this was a great short with a message i think myself and alot of people need. (People who know why u do these videos and appreciate them) Haters gonna....well, u know, say dumb stuff that lets everyone know their level of intelligence, and apparently how much THEIR life must suck. Love to you Becca, u have helped me a lot and I wish I could do the same. thank u again💙

Marie is lovely 😊- great show! ❤ 🎨 ☠️ x

Thank you so much for having me on your show!

Hey Becca, wishing you blessings, health and joy for 2023! 🎉🌈

I feel that Minecraft could sponge my life. But I get a lot of joy from watching my nephew build and that is satisfying. He is so creative What a lovely lady. She has a heart of gold 💛

Love suspense thrillers! Often work out the plot but LOVE an unexpected twist 😮

What about underemployment- that’s what I am working to change. Interviewing anxiety has kept us out of jobs in which we have earned college degrees

I almost never use my phone speakers, but when I get a phone I go out of my way to get the loudest I can for the Reason Dr. Price has.

Can you please invite me? I am a passioned writer and artist

Dani is a complete moron. He excludes autistic people who have different opinion on him and have no problem with the term "Aspie" (he sees it as something demonic). A bit of a language purist. Also, like so many lefties, he continues to whine about capitalism. He doesn't represent us autists very well.

Love these conversations with Devon. :) so appreciate his thoughts

Just found your channel, love it!

This is great, Becca.

I am excited to see where you're going. I love the new direction and you have helped me so much through this journey!

That coin spinning is driving me nuts!!!

Hi Becca, I wanted to take a second to let you know how this video has helped me. I am 53, just diagnosed autistic last year after a lifetime of confusion and a few incorrect mental health diagnoses. I want you to know how important it was to me for you to show your meltdown. For a long time, I've been having what I thought we're just crying jags, because what I saw in videos of autistic meltdowns wasn't the true state of what happened to me. Watching this video, I saw for the first time somebody else experiencing what I experience every so often, sometimes daily. It shows me that these are indeed meltdowns. All the emotions get backed up. Everything gets too much, and I end up feeling, like you said during the meltdown when you just need a hug from your mom, like a child. Every time I have these I feel like I can't cope, like there is something wrong with me because I simply can't handle...life. Although I've spent the past year reframing my life and researching absolutely everything there is to know about ASD, as that quest itself has become a SPIN for me, I feel like I'm just scratching the surface. I could never be an advocate like you are, spending so much wonderful outward energy to make us seen and known. My energy is very precious and I need a lot of downtime after an experience, as we all do. So thank you for this. If you were at all rethinking whether you should've posted it, you made the right decision, because you greatly helped me understand a huge aspect of my life.

❤️

Well, I’m so excited to see what comes next!

I love the message at the end, very motivational! Good luck in your next adventure. 😊

Wow what a beautiful looking house! 🤩🫶🏼 All that green is so gorgeous and the water area is stunning. What a pleasure to have followed you on this journey. I’m excited to see the next chapter! Next level up career vlog!? I’ve been encouraged and have designed my own colouring book for Amazon… you are so inspiring! Mwah xx 😚

I wanna start again #life

Schenectady always makes me think of Fountains of Wayne. "Someone to Love" is now on repeat in my brain. Lol. PS - Please consider doing another vlog at some point. We are now all invested! :)

I'm not often one to comment on UA-cam videos, but I have to say how much I love Antonio's Dual Spires Cinnamon Festival tee - one of the best Twin Peaks homages I've ever seen! Excellent choice, my dude. 😎👍

Loving these vlogs and updates- great idea about the windows and cats. We’ve done that with a hotel and luggage before 😜👍🏼 I can imagine it being utterly exhausting doing all the driving let alone with animals! Well done you 🫶🏼⭐️

What an epic journey! I'm so glad to know your next video will be from Maine - yay!!!

So much has happened ⭐️
