How to Finish

I drew this poster for Jon Acuff and his FINISH book tour. Big thanks to Jon for this collaboration, his book has some great ideas about how to complete creative and life goals.

Thinkin about how as kids parents told us to clean our rooms without having ever shown us how to themselves, taught us any organizational skills, spatial management, or any other knowledge necessary to know how to efficiently tackle a mess without getting overwhelmed and then got exasperated when we as ten year olds didn’t just……figure it out

Reblog If You're Autistic

Preferably if you post about autism, even if it's not the main focus of your blog.

I'd like to create a directory of autistic bloggers to follow.

Gentle reminder #17

Just a gentle reminder that you should use your aids (canes, wheelchairs, stimtoys, coping mechanisms, etc.) BEFORE you start to need them, to prevent you from feeling discomfort. You don’t have to “blend in” or make others comfortable, you need to take care of YOURSELF.

Dear hand embroidery enthusiasts and admirers of hand embroidery,

Please allow me to share with you my completed hand embroidered and patchwork owl wall hanging. When I first started this project, I had no idea how I was going to embroider the owl. Once the owl was completed the true confusion set it. “What was I going to do with it?” Things just fell into place. Voila! 

This blog has truly kept me inspired and my hands stitching. A big thank you to all my followers.  Sharing and keeping each other inspired is what it’s all about!

Autistic!Luna Lovegood headcanons

Creates spells to help with sensory overloads, such as charming a pair of glasses to dim bright colours that hurt her eyes and charming a pair of earmuffs and earrings so it muffles loud noises 

Creates a spell to instantly make all her clothes soft to stop them from scratching against her skin

Has trouble concentrating 

Prefers being bare foot

Wears long necklaces with beads and small charms to fidget with

Has an agreement with the kitchen House elves who make her food that isn’t as flavourful/spicy as every one elses, and also her plate has an enchantment on it so the different foods don’t touch. In exchange for this she visits the kitchens once a week and shows them all the pretty things she’s found while walking

Collects random things she finds pretty, shells, rocks, sticks, leaves, feathers etc

Finds rocking soothing

Can stare into the Ravenclaw common room fireplace for hours on end looking for shapes in the flames

Likes clothing and fabric with tassels 

Runs fingers and toes through the folds in fabric for comfort

Doesn’t like eye contact

No sense of direction and often gets lost on the Hogwarts stairwells so Ginny or other DA members accompany her from class to class so she’s not late

Stares into space and gets lost in her thoughts a lot

Special interest is magical creatures and can memorise a large number of interesting facts about them 

Paints with her fingers and likes using many layers of paint so it creates a 3D effect to her art

Places her wand behind her ear or in her hair bun because she often misplaces it 

Likes spinning and twirling as a form of stimming

Cuts the labels off all of her clothing

Writing is hard and hurts her hand when she grips the quill, so she uses an enchanted quill to take notes for her during classes, and to write her homework (this is allowed by Dumbledore to any disabled students in Hogwarts with similar issues)
