For the caregiver crew out there... Also my aspie ... "High functioning" friends over 21 (US rules) 😉
If you drink...if not use water 💦 it's ok.

I call these my:
"I've had a long day treat's"

They have fresh cut strawberries (fruit is good right?) 😂
Strawberry jello
2 cups boiling water
2 cups of ice cold Vodka
I put the strawberries in the cups then filled 2/3 full with the jello mixture.
Chill 1 to 2 hrs... Then top with whipped cream...

I recommend sharing 😂 do ummm eat in moderation.
Eat responsibly. 😆

Or make a non alcoholic version 😉

I figured since I've made such a comeback from complete dysfunction.
That this sounded like a pretty good treat...

For my husband with ARFID I left his strawberries whole so they can easily be pulled out if he can't handle them. The rest are cut small. It's easy to adjust this treat.

Yes autistic adults drink occasionally too..
Lol 😂 🤣 😆 🤣 😆

narcissistic individuals frequently target and prey on autistic people because specific neurodivergent traits can make them more vulnerable to manipulation and abuse.....

This is why autistic people are more vulnerable...

Trust and Literal Thinking:
Autistic people often take statements at face value and struggle to detect hidden malicious motives, passive-aggression, or social subtext

Masking and People-Pleasing:
Many autistic individuals spend a lifetime "masking" their natural traits or minimizing their own needs to fit in, making them prone to tolerating mistreatment and ignoring red flags

Empathy and Seeing the Best: High empathy and a tendency to project positive intent onto others can cause autistic individuals to make excuses for a narcissist's toxic behavior.

Boundary Difficulties: Navigating complex social dynamics and setting firm relational boundaries can be exceptionally challenging, which narcissists readily exploit.

I myself have fallen victim to more than one narcissistic person in life. I can honestly say it's incredibly harder when it was someone you loved with your all. Completely devastating and heart wrenching.

The only way I managed to pull through at all was to walk away completely, no contact. Also to get therapy to learn to set proper boundaries in my own life.

Also a huge thanks to so many behind the scenes that have been cheering us on this past year.

Simple kindness and caring really goes a long way in a person's life.
Never underestimate what a few kind words can do in another person's struggle in life, to help them keep going.

And if you have a young autistic, maybe teach them exactly what a narcissist may behave like.... It could actually save a life...
They become easy to spot if you know what you are looking for.

Today I was trying to make something that my hubby would eat...
He has ARFID and eats very few things.

So I sliced up potatoes, dipped them in egg wash, then coating them. I dropped them in the deep fryer for about 4 minutes till crisp.
After dumping them onto a towel I added Nature's seasoning to them.

Bill dips them in A1 steak sauce.
He ate a few and said they were ok... Just the fact that he ate more than one is good. However I don't think it will be top of his safe food list.

Our neighbor quite enjoyed a plate of them tho and that's good.

I made myself my favorite comfort food meal today. Chicken nuggets, mashed potatoes with gravy and green beans with cheese. One plate to eat and one to be frozen for a later date.

I meal prep for days that I struggle in executive dysfunction. That helps me get through the hardest days with little effort on those days.

I must say when those potatoes came out, it made me wonder about fried green tomatoes 🤣 one of my favorite movies too.

What is your favorite comfort meal... Or your child's??

Full & happy,

I found a life hack!!!
I really need water therapy... But without my pool I've been lost.
Today I tried to think of something to keep us cooler in extreme heat. But we are not allowed pools here. So I thought and came up with an oil pan... But it wasn't the right size for feet. Back to thinking... I was a dish pan on the Walmart app... And wow!! Perfect!! Icy water on my feet on a 97°F day really feels amazing.

I splashed my hands in it first as well as poured some water over my head with a cup first.

Yes!!! 4 dollars well spent!! Ahhh

Happy,
😊Maxx💙

Today when our door bell rang, I checked to see if it was the commercial on TV that makes the same sound...

But it was actually our door bell!!
To my heartfelt surprise my friend Robyn stopped by with a birthday card and a beautiful crystal to hang in my window. It was in a cute little box, and I love boxes... Unless I'm asked to get in one 😂 just sayin as an autistic person. 😉

I truly was surprised!! It really made my morning amazing!! Thanks so much Robyn you are a lovely lady🌹

Appreciative,
🙏Maxx🙏
