Lauren McMenemy<p>Writing the Occult events are not just a meeting of minds and a whole bunch of inspiration; they represent community coming together to share knowledge and geek out about the weird stuff. And kicking off the geeking out at Writing the Occult: Belief will be long-time listener, first time speaker Sarah Elliot who'll be in conversation with Wole Talabi about authentic representation.

Harmony Seeker<p>This week, I have discovered something important about myself: I am AuDhd — autistic and ADHD.</p><p>A few years ago, close family suggested that I might be autistic. I started to wonder too, but life kept moving and I pushed it aside. Recently, my psychologist recommended a full assessment. I decided it was time to find out.</p><p>Now it’s confirmed. I’m officially diagnosed.</p><p>It’s life-changing.<br>It’s a revelation.<br>It explains so much about who I am and how my brain works.</p><p>I finally have answers to the questions I’ve carried for years. Why I think the way I do. Why I experience the world so intensely. Why things that seem “easy” for others cost me so much energy.</p><p>I’ve already spent time grieving the parts of my life shaped by misunderstanding — both from others and from myself. This diagnosis doesn’t change who I am. It simply gives me language for it. It makes sense of a lifetime of being “too much,” “too sensitive,” “too intense.”</p><p>I’m not broken.<br>I’m not a failed version of normal.<br>I’m neurodivergent — and there is strength in that.</p><p>I'm still learning what Unmasking for me means, but here are a few things i plan to start doing: </p><p> • Asking for clarity instead of masking confusion<br> • Setting up my life around my brain’s natural rhythms<br> • Refusing to apologise for my sensory needs<br> • Speaking plainly about how I experience the world</p><p>Getting this diagnosis is not an end. It’s a beginning.</p><p>If you’re walking this path too — late-diagnosed, learning who you really are underneath the masks — you are not alone.</p><p>We are allowed to exist as we are.</p><p>I’m AuDHD.<br>I’m proud.<br>I’m building a life that finally makes sense.</p><p><a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AuDHD</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/ADHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ADHD</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/LateDiagnosis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LateDiagnosis</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Neurodivergent</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Neurodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Neurodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Unmasking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Unmasking</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/SelfAcceptance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfAcceptance</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/DiagnosisJourney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DiagnosisJourney</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/DisabilityPride" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityPride</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Authenticity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Authenticity</span></a></p>

the roamer<p>My 12yo daughter is into the Young Sheldon series right now. Sometimes she invites me in for a shared viewing. (I treasure it while it lasts.)
