"Why is everything so much harder to deal with"

This is a question we hear from many masking neurodivergent adults.

Often, it's not that the neurodivergence itself has changed.

Years of masking can exhaust the body. Natural self-soothing techniques are suppressed, hypervirulence strains nervous system which can cause internal disconnect, making it much harder to identify your body’s signals of burnout until the crash.

In short, you may not be becoming ‘more neurodivergent’

But constant long-term masking is not sustainable, and neurodivergent burnout can cause chronic fatigue, loss of skills and lower tolerance to stimuli.

Accessibility is sexy ❤️‍🔥

Not because it's the "right thing to do".

But because accessibility helps EVERYONE.

Accessibility isn't only for disabled people.

When we create spaces where people feel heard, respected and included, everybody benefits.

Impulsive thoughts and intrusive thoughts are terms often used interchangeably online but they are NOT the same thing!

While intrusive thoughts can happen to anyone, if they are frequent and ‘sticky’, they may be linked to conditions such as OCD, PTSD and GAD.

Both can impact everyday life however two key differences are

🧠Intrusive thoughts are Egodystonic meaning they go entirely against your true morals and sense of self.


🧠Impulsive thoughts are Egosyntonic meaning they align with a want or desire, even if acting on it would be irresponsible

Most of us have heard of different accessibility tools. Ramps, closed captions, audio descriptions, accessible bathrooms. Even the person who is doing Auslan translation at gigs or during press conferences. These things matter.

But there's another concept that really sings to us…✨access intimacy✨

Coined by disability justice activist Mia Mingus, access intimacy describes the feeling of being deeply understood in your access needs. It's the relief of not having to constantly explain yourself, justify yourself, educate others, or advocate for basic accommodations. And it’s also the intention of the people around you, in that they are providing access because they genuinely care, rather than feel like they have to for any other reason.

At its heart, access intimacy is about feeling safe, seen, and considered. For many disabled folks, navigating a world that wasn't designed with them in mind can be endlessly exhausting. Constantly asking for access can be tiring and isolating.

Mia Mingus describes the feeling of access intimacy as “eerie comfort”. It might feel strange to be mindful of providing someone with “eerie comfort”, but in a world where disabled folks have to work that much harder, a little bit of comfort can go a long way.

💛🤍💜🖤 International Non-Binary People’s Day

Today is about recognising and celebrating non-binary people, while also acknowledging the ongoing impact of stigma, exclusion, and violence experienced by many gender diverse people.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and able to be themselves.

Inclusion starts in everyday moments listening, learning, and creating space for people to define their own identities.
