Lovely 💗

Hey Rachel....

I love the , kind“ bars ❤

🐕 cute

Looking so pretty! AND slays the pizza challenge!

going to a gymnastics car sounds pretty cool

So proud of you this is also a fear of mine and I know it must of been scary.

So true!

Your living the life 🤗

I'm autistic as well 🌈💖

Also try to keep your head in when you're going upside down too, try to have a spotter perhaps, you got this!

Jesus Christ is coming back sooner than you might expect, be ready and prepare to go with Him! Salvation prayer: Father I pray with my heart and believe in You Jesus Christ. I believe you died for me. I acknowledge that i'm a sinner, please forgive my sins. Wash me with Your precious blood. Come into my heart, save my soul today. Be my LORD and personal Saviour. I accept you today. In Jesus' name. Amen. Meditate on His Word (The Bible) to overcome challenges of this world until He comes! Jesus loves you! I don't know you but remember that God is with you! Romans 6:23> For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. 💕🫶🏾

The voiceover is so cute I can't ❤

Try keeping your hips and chin to the bar, i think keeping your arms bent should help with that. I love the determindation you have, keep the hype up and you'll get there :)

Aww doggy 🐕

The title is miss leading

What I do is I make a mood board with a collage of things I feel passionate about to varying degrees, even putting things I used to like but not so much anymore (because mh struggles can reduce the energy you can spend to it, but doesn’t necessarily mean you wouldn’t like it if you got back into it). And when I realised I didn’t have that much going for me in life, I decided I’d make it. Well, actually, I was struggling with change I couldn’t control and decided that I would throw in change I could control too seeing as I’d already had to rip off the band aid so to speak 😅 I put things career wise I would like to venture in, special interests, things I’m good at or would like to be better at. So maybe for you it would be gymnastics, autism and autism advocacy, whatever subjects and hobbies you’re passionate about or just like, recovery, music, being outside etc. and from there you can draw ideas from those. I also took a butt load of online quizzes to try and piece together who I was. On its own it wasn’t majorly helpful but still good to ascertain my values and morals etc ❤

keep going!! you are such a role model and you should be so proud of yourself for committing to this!! all the love, don’t let anyone shut you down ❤️

Do keep an eye out for symptoms of PMDD at certain times of the month, it can really mess with you and make you think you’re relapsing when really it’s just something that needs to be managed, it’s soooo common in AFABs with autism / neurodivergence

Proud of youuu 🥹 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Completely feel you there, Rachel. I wish so hard sometimes I could run back to the body I had when I was 13, but then I hear how ridiculous that is because I’m not 13, aside from weight, my body has developed and dozens of other ways. And little by little, I’m finding new clothes I like (not easy when you’d happily wear the shoes in your feet till they fell off 😅), and sometimes I look at myself and love my new body. I have that “I AM A WOMAAAAAAN” moment Debbie had in Shameless and I love it! You’ll get there and beyond that ❤

Love your matching crocs with your sweater! I appreciate colour coordination when I see it ❤

Your dog is so cute 🥰

That is a giant croissant Zoe is eating! 🤤 Very good 👍. But the question is what coffee shop is it that you go to with her?

As a former gymnast I would suggest trying to get your hips higher and then folding in half over the bar

Maybe if you workout abs you could get a stronger core which would help

It's good that your getting out of your comfort zone.👍

I also have autism too and sometimes I get a nonverbal shutdown and get meltdowns in school and there is times I forget to bring my sunflower landyard so teachers or students just give me a werid look while my kind twin sister helps me calm down. I also don’t like airports much because of the same things you went through but yea. ❤

Did you go on your own?

1. It's expensive 2. Marketing wouldn't work - ergo - less people buying 3. The autistic percentage of people is very small compared to the common people 4. Trying to train a person that works in retail in all of this things is expensive and time consuming

Most of these things clash with typical understanding of marketing, and the target audience probably isn't big enough to compensate for that. Because its not just nurodiverse people who would buy more but even a further subset as not all nurodiverse people want/need at least some of these changes... I'd love market research for that because I don't see how fidget toys to use in the store would be disruptive, if anything it could be a cute touch and maybe occupy kids as well

Omg wow 😍😍😍😍

Good idea 👍 ❤😊

do you drive? if you do, do you get overstimulated when driving and what do you do to unstimulated yourself?

Because Neuro divergence is a spectrum so it is nigh impossible to design every shop for everyone. I say this as a neurodivergent person myself, well, awaiting diagnosis for 3 years was meant to have an add assessment last Friday but that clashed with an essential exam so sadly more waiting. But my point is I don't have the same problems as you, so it's difficult to design a shop for both of us, let alone thousands of fellow autism spectrum people, let alone wider neurodivergence

Ugh so true

On the first Tuesday I think of every month IKEA dims their lighting and lowers music levels in recognition of neurodiversity!!

I’m so proud of you ❤

Oh girl the way I smiled throughout this video ❤

you look like you’re having fun lol <3

I’m so happy you feel good and comfortable eating, I went through an ed, this video is sweet ❤❤

Sounds amazing,

Also food is your medicine. x

Yea cause I’ll be dead

I've literally had the worst day today I feel so emotional and angry.😭

I truly feel like you read my mind ❤ that's exactly how I feel

It is but carry on with the hard work in recovery you've still got a long way to go.

Backsliding isn't anything to be ashamed of. The difference between the situation prior to getting help and the backslide after seeking it is when backsliding you see the problem from the outside and already know it's a behaviour that you can't rely on, so there is a level of self-awareness that can prevent the backslide being as severe as the original condition as long as it's not used as an excuse to give up.

So proud of you 👏
