Masking

Today in #FunNeurodivergentThings: My grandma doesn't know I'm gay, and other tales of masking and unmasking.

Hello and Welcome to Fun Neurodivergent Things. I called my grandma yesterday. We hadn’t talked in a while and I haven’t seen her in a year. When I’m talking to my grandma, I’m not the same person I am when I’m just by myself or with close friends. Obviously. But more than that, I have to put in an effort to be the person she recognises as Fina. It took me a long time to realise that I am masking…

Introducing: Fun Neurodivergent Things

Introducing: Fun Neurodivergent Things. A not so fun post about trying to get assessed for autism and ADHD as an adult.

As some of you know, I am currently in the process of trying to get assessed for autism and ADHD. There can be a lot of overlap between the two and getting assessed for anything is proving pretty difficult. So I figured I would put some things down in writing and share them with you. Sometimes I might talk about the logistical aspects of trying to get a diagnosis, at other times I will talk…

The first in a series of episodes in which I flip through my previous notebooks, starting with the oldest. There is much to discover!

The first notebook I filled. It holds drafts for my first novel, written from when I was 12 to when I was 16.

  A map from my first novel in its earliest stages. Most of you will never read this novel, but it was very fun to write.

                My first short story, written in a little notebook I got for free somewhere. It’s a retelling of an episode of Heidi and I tried my best, okay? Unfortunately, little me did not yet date her journal entries.

To talk to me about the beauty of old notebooks, find me on Twitter @FinaStarGuard and post about the show using the hashtag #FinePoetryPod.

Easter episode! I read “Osterspaziergang” by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, both in German and in the English translation, and talk about finding peace and joy in these… ridiculous times. You can find the episode on podbean, Apple Podcasts, or your podcatcher of choice. 

Osterspaziergang

Vom Eise befreit sind Strom und Bäche durch des Frühlings holden, belebenden Blick. Im Tale grünet Hoffnungsglück.
