Rachel McDoveProgress is progress, no matter the pace! Progress means different things to different people, too. For some, it means doing more, for others, doing less! Some folk measure progress by what they have learned, or gained, or by how they have grown. Progress is personal, and seeing our progress rarely benefits from the comparison game! Try to judge YOUR progress by YOUR standards, not those imposed by others. Easier said than done, I know, but it is worth trying to see things that way! <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SnailMagic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SnailMagic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NeuroqueerLife?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NeuroqueerLife</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NeuroqueeringLife?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NeuroqueeringLife</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SnailsAreNeuroqueering?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SnailsAreNeuroqueering</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Progress?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Progress</a>

Rachel McDoveMy friend saw this beauty enjoying some pizza crumbs and sent me this video. Massive glimmer!Being openly passionate about my special interests has enriched my life so much 🐌Our SpIns are often a HUGE part of our autistic wellbeing. It sucks when people dismiss them, and it's AMAZING when people celebrate them with us. I love when someone sees a snail, a badger, or something relating to a TV show I adore, and says they think of me. It's true for non autistics too, of course, but our special interests are fucking special! They hit deeper than "normal" interests.<a href="https://beige.party/tags/SpecialInterestsHeal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SpecialInterestsHeal</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AutisticWellbeing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AutisticWellbeing</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AutisticSpecialInterest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AutisticSpecialInterest</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Snails" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Snails</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SnailMagic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SnailMagic</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Glimmer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Glimmer</a>

Rachel McDoveSlowly encouraging myself to do more. Even when it's gut wrenchingly scary, like the driving.Or sharing my first finished story in a million years with folk and actually asking for feedback! 😬I'm so nervous about the feelings that might come up. But I'm tired of living in fear of my feelings!Yeah, it might be upsetting, even triggering. But I have to learn how to deal with that. Triggers are a part of life, and I can't learn to ride them out by avoiding things.So, slowly, on my own terms and at my own pace (<a href="https://beige.party/tags/SnailMagic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SnailMagic</a>), I'm going to keep trying to do the things I want to do!<a href="https://beige.party/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Writing</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/CPTSDRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CPTSDRecovery</a>

Rachel McDoveI used this shell as a stim/fidget toy on my walk today when I was feeling stressed. Then, I left it to go back to the earth with my gratitude. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AutisticWitch?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AutisticWitch</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Stimming?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Stimming</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SnailMagic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SnailMagic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/HealingThroughSpecialInterests?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HealingThroughSpecialInterests</a>
