Anytime I am doing anything boring, such as taking a walk or doing household chores, I always have to have my favorite music in my ears. I had a job once, where I cleaned a hospital, and when it got quiet, and the visitors went home, I had music in my ears. I would be […]

Why Sports Should Be More Neurodivergent Friendly
Sports can be a challenge to anyone, especially those who are not as athletic or need assistance. When I was in school, I was always the last one picked for a team. I couldn’t focus on the game, and most of the time, I would be just playing in the grass or spinning in circles. […]
Why It Is Okay For Transgender Individuals To Use Their Transitioning Bathrooms
Transgender individuals using a bathroom of their affirmed gender has been a controversial topic for many. I mean, some people think that a transgender person is not real, and that they want attention or something else. Transphobia is a thing, and it just doesn’t make sense to me personally. I never understood being afraid of […]
Kids’ Menus are an Autistic’s Haven
My whole life, I’ve been told I’m picky, and before I learned about aversion to certain textures, I agreed. After I was diagnosed, I learned I didn’t like the texture of the food. From the slimy textures of bananas to the sponginess of cake, and my list goes on. Even as an adult, when I […]
World Autism Day
Thursday, April 2nd, 2026, is a glorious day for people with autism because there is so much representation. As autism becomes more and more well-known, it’s even more important to show awareness.

The first time I heard about designer babies was in a movie called “My sister’s Keeper.” The idea is to be able to change an unborn baby’s features, such as green eyes and red hair. They can also make the baby healthy by removing different diseases. In the movie, a mother and father had a […]

The Makeup Industry Thrives on Insecurity
Ever since I was in high school, I felt not pretty because I didn’t wear makeup, which gave me low self-esteem and confidence. I saw all these girls in my class who had makeup on and were popular. Even young girls are influenced to wear makeup because they want to be seen as pretty and […]
Why “Love on a Spectrum” is Great for Representation
Dating is hard enough, but for someone with autism, it’s a whole other thing. The show Love on a Spectrum follows several people looking for love and seeking a relationship. The reason why it’s such a good autism representation is that it doesn’t filter out the so-called “bad” parts of autism. Some shows oversell it […]
Why Escaping Into Games Isn’t Always A Bad Thing
Since I could remember, I have always had a game in my hand. I even remember a Christmas when I got a Game Boy, and slowly that started my love for it. My mom would call it a hobby, my grandma would call it an addiction, to which I’d say sarcastically, “It’s not going to […]

Why the Fifty Shades Of Grey Books Should Not Be Romanticized
When I first read Fifty Shades of Grey, I was not really into it, but I wanted to see what the hype was and sadly, I was not happy. I mean, you take a plain-looking girl and a rich guy and put them together, that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Throughout the book, […]
