Welcome, my friends and fellow Space Canaries, to my little corner of the interweb. I’m so glad you’re here. The Space Canary Chronicle is, at it’s core, simply a place for myself to be seen and heard. But it is also the foundation of my need for community and comradery.

I have spent most of life as a fringe-dweller. Feeling on the outside, looking in.

I was “late diagnosed” with a myriad of both physical and mental conditions, mostly genetic, that meant I was never going to have the life I kept trying for. Trying, and crashing. And trying, and crashing. And trying again.

Through it all, I have wanted nothing more than I’ve wanted to be understood. To be seen. Heard. Felt. Acknowledge. Validated. Supported. Accepted. And not just in parts, but in my entirety. I want nothing more than to be able to show the spectacular shine on each and every facet that I’m made of. To not be too much, or not enough. To not be type-cast, stereotyped, assumed, placated, or forcibly held in place.

From this has a grown a deep desire to find, connect, and maybe even help others out there that I know are feeling the same thing, many of them from lots the same reasons. Maybe not the same experiences, but the same feelings.

I can only share truly and accurately, things that I’ve experienced myself, but it is so important to me to be able to share the soap-box with anyone and everyone who needs it. The only way we will be heard is to use or voices together. To make space for one another and show not only that it can be done, but how.

The Space Canary Chronicle will catalogue my journey and thoughts.

The Adjusting the Frame Pod Cast will focus on adjusting how we view different topics and why our perspectives need to evolve.

The Spectrum Threads Facebook group is for us to share, communicate, work, and be together.

This page will also include Lists & Tools, Resources, and Articles for/about AuDHD and invisible illness.

I don’t know how quickly it will all come together. I don’t have release dates or major resources. Just myself, my devices, and the community that has carried me this far.

You can call me an idealist, or crazy, or just wrong.

You can tell me this is just how life is.

You can tell me to get over it.

I’ve heard it all before. But life has brought me to a place where I no longer have the luxury to pretend I don’t have to think about these things. We need to learn to talk about the hard stuff. To ask questions. To not hold back.

Communication and Education are our answers, and we need to take them back. One act of self love and community action at a time.
