Ordinary Mutants

I've said this for years...

There’s no comparison game here - whether your kids mask or not, it’s hard either way. However, for those whose kids do mask, there’s an extra piece of not being *believed* by others. And then what? After a while, you start to doubt yourself. Are you being too sensitive? Exaggerating the truth? Is this even as bad as it feels? 🚨🚨 If this ⬆️ resonates, you need to know that there’s a resource out there that you’ve never heard of - Mothers Together. It’s an *actual* community based on validation, judgment-free support, and friendship. It’s virtual and international. And it’ll change your life. **Comment “Open House” to get the link to my free, upcoming virtual event - where I’ll share my motherhood story and invite you to do the same. Plus, I’ll give you a tour of the Mothers Together community. Open House is coming up OCTOBER 22-24, so if you need support, do not wait! #momssupportingmoms #momsupportingmoms #momcommunity #momsunite #momsunited #motherhoodunplugged #momminainteasy #pda #meltdown #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #neurodiverse #2e #twiceexceptional #giftedkids #giftedness #adhdkids #adhdkid #adhdparenting #childanxiety #sensoryprocessingdisorder #sensoryoverload #highlysensitivechild #highlysensitiveperson #strongwilledchild #executivedysfunction #audhd #momtribe

Arcades and Advocacy — Ordinary Mutants Today marks a big step for Moose… Tonight Moose was supposed to go with his church youth group to a guys-only evening of Lazer Tag, Pizza, and fun. It’s been on the books for a few weeks now and I had heard grumblings of him not wanting to go, but I figured it was just that he didn’t want to l...

We missed the Seattle 22q At The Zoo meetup but enjoyed the Zoo none the less!

Happy Mothers Day — Ordinary Mutants I have a confession, today went nothing like I expected. The plan I had in my head last night was that I was going to wake up early and get the kids all picture perfect before church so we could take a picture at the Mother’s Day photo booth our church was going to have set up. I knew it was a sli

This is so relatable

Audio processing disorder is just like "you are going to be able to differentiate 27 distinct sounds happening simultaneously EXCEPT for when someone's talking to you. Good luck"

People think because my ears are so unreasonably sensitive I must also be able to
"hear" them. This is false. I can hear the clock ticking though.

One time I was watching Avatar with my friends with headphones and I heard my dad open a can downstairs.
I still can't tell what people say to me if more than one person is talking.
