Mysterious Prompts Makes MAGICAL Art 

Agreed!! 😁💖

Me too!

Thirded! I’d love if it was made with good paper too!

Oh definitely, I would LOVE a colouring book from Kattvalk!

Omg a coloring book full of little kitty drawings would be amazing. I would give so many monies to have that

I went to comment section with the same type of recommendation. Also to be mentioned that RAADS-R was certified officially as legit self-diagnostic test so it gives pretty accurate results. It can be not only autism but also ADHD share similar traits.

I thought the same thing! Her experiences sound alot like my autistic ones!

Same ! I posted a similar comment because I didn't see yours. As a women with ASD and ADHD I relate a lot to her testimony.

My kids are adults now, but maybe you could try creating a little art space for yourself & your kids, and you can draw together. I would set aside an afternoon every week where we would do art together. The neighbours kids would come over and we all created together. I got my art fix and the kids enjoyed colouring in my drawings. But my biggest tip is please take some ‘me’ time, it’s so important. ❤️🇦🇺

@@MissChelle Thank you very much for your tip! They are really young, 2 and 4 yo. Older daughter doesn't like drawing and creating that much, she can stay focused like 5-10 minutes. 😄 And younger son just needs to try everything and "ruins" everything. Nowadays, we spent a lot of time outside, before winter hits. I know about importance of me time, but I still strugle a lot finding it. I had some when I had one child, but with 2, it's almost impossible...

You should probably do a little bit of reading before saying things like that.

​@@Kattvalk Her comment is way too agressive but she's not wrong. I France where I live, there has been a "trend" of therapists diagnosing people with hypersensitivy or high potential, and then puting a lot of symptoms on that diagnosis. The thing is, those syndroms (like HSP) were never fully recognized scientifically, like a lot of other "personnality tests" kind of thing. And symptoms like social anxiety or sensory issues, do fall on the ASD or sometimes ADHD list of symptoms. That doesn't mean that the description of HSP isn't accurate to what women like us live ; it just means that the name of the diagnosis isn't correct. In fact, HSP isn't a real diagnosis (in France at least). But we have a lot of french therapists that invested this concept, like Jeanne Siaud-Facchin, and who made a lot of money selling expensive diagnosis and lots of books and conference, without acutally providing any of the therapies or medical help a person with these symptoms might need. It also doesn't help that our society has a very strong negative bias on autism. I was first "diagnosed" with High potential and HSP as a teen, which wasn't helpful because, what is there to do about it ? It's not an illness nor a disability. It's not actually supposed to affect your life degatively. Turns out, I have autism and ADHD, and I STRUGGLED to get a proper diagnosis. Going through school life with an invisible disability was really tough on me and I do not wish that to anybody else. Ultimately none of us know you enough to say if you have this or that, but HSP is in fact not recognized as a real thing by the authorities like the DSM 5. There are a LOT of personnality test things online that thrive of the search people like us do to understand ourselves better. So while I wish the comment from Alexa wasn't so brutal, I understand the frustration of these theories thriving, while the real informations are still hard to get. It is very likely that the description of this HSP thing might explain some of the things you went through, and at the end of the day, if you are not affected negatively in your life then there is not reason to bother more than this. Just keep in mind that while there is a lot of litterature on the whole HSP or High potential thing (both tend to be associated together), that doesn't mean that those books and studies are accepted by the general scientific and medical world. Also a lot more has been discovered about autism these last few years, that brings new answers to the problems HSP was tackling. The HSP theory was very valid at its time, but psychology and psychiatry kept evolving, and the HSP theory is now mostly outdated. But it still has a lot of "followers", including sometimes people who really don't want to be associated with a disability. And yes, including parents who will get very mad when they are told that their kid who has "high potential" is in fact autistic. Both are not mutually exclusive, but (in France at least) there are people who will never accept that them, or their kids, have a mental disability, while still being just as smart as anybody else. And I talk from personnal experience. That's why the subject is so sensitive to the autistic folk, it is strongly tied to the taboo of having a disability that is seen as shamefull. Nobody wants to be a "retard". I hope this gives you another perspective on the message Alexa wrote....
