Ever notice how the world loves to tell us what we can’t do? Especially when you’re an autistic teen, it feels like the moment people find out, they automatically assume you’re “incompetent” or that you’ll never achieve anything. It’s like they’ve already decided who we are before we even get the chance to prove them wrong. But here’s the truth: they’re wrong. We are not defined by their narrow expectations. We can do anything we set our minds to.

Hey lovely's let's get straight into todays blog🫶

Hey lovely’s I hope everyone had the best week and if you didn’t I hope this brings your spirits up!!! Enjoy this Fridays blog (posted a little 🤏 bit late 😭)

Hey lovely's, So I was literally about to go to sleep when it hit me—I completely forgot to write my blog. And now here I am, half-asleep, typing away while my brain throws out the most random thoughts. Like, why do I always remember important things at the worst possible time? And do penguins ever get bored of sliding on ice? Anyway, before I spiral into more late-night overthinking, let’s just get into it.

Hey lovely's! Welcome back to my little corner of the internet. If you’re new here, I’m an introverted, homeschooled teen on the autism spectrum, just trying to figure life out one awkward moment at a time. Today, I wanna talk about something that I think everyone deals with—insecurities.

So, there I was. Peacefully chilling at home, embracing the rare moment of doing absolutely nothing because, let’s be real, life has been exhausting. I’ve been so busy that I’m practically running on fumes at this point, so a afternoon of just existing? Yeah, I needed that.

Hey everyone! I wanted to dive into something that’s been on my mind lately—figuring out what I want to do when I grow up. Honestly, it feels like everyone around me has their lives completely sorted, and I'm just here, kind of lost but not really. The weird part is that people always think I’m older than I am since I'm ahead in school, which is funny because, yes, I'm still just in highschool!

Hey lovely's did you know being an introvert is something I’ve always been okay with. I don’t feel the need to be surrounded by people, and I recharge best when I’m alone. But when you’re an introvert and autistic, things can feel more complicated.

Alright, here we go. I sat down to write this, and honestly? I had zero clue what to talk about. Literally nothing came to mind. But then I figured—why not just roll with it? Sometimes life feels a bit like that, doesn’t it? A bit chaotic, a bit all over the place, but somehow, it all comes together in the end.

Alright, let’s be honest—Mondays can feel like a right pain, especially after enjoying the holidays. Those lovely days of doing what you fancy suddenly vanish when you have to deal with school, work, or even homeschooling. I totally get that it’s really overwhelming when you have to leave your cosy bubble of festive fun behind. But don’t worry, Mondays don’t have to be dreadful! I’ve got some tips that could help you breeze through them, and I hope they make life a bit easier.

Hey, everyone! Welcome back to my Gifted Girl Journey! I hope you all had an amazing Christmas filled with love, joy, and a little bit of holiday magic. The past few days were a mix of feelings, and I want to share how my holidays went as an autistic teen trying to navigate this world.

Hey guys!🤍

Hey everyone! If your new to the blog: Gifted Girl Journey I’m Summer 👋🤍 and I'm an autistic teen, looking to spread awareness. For todays blog I wanted to share.....

Hey everyone! I want to share my experience with accepting my autism because I know many of you might relate to this journey. It’s been a wild ride, and I hope it gives you a bit of hope, too!

It was an ordinary day when everything changed for me. I was just 11 years old, sitting in my room, when my parents came in to share some news that would alter the course of my life. After a lengthy and challenging process of evaluations, they told me that I was autistic. I felt a wave of disbelief wash over me. This wasn’t the news I had expected, and I didn’t really understand what it meant.

Hey, today I wanted to share what it's like to grow up without a autism diagnosis until I was 11!!

Hey everyone! As we wave goodbye to summer and gear up for another school year, I want to take a moment to share my thoughts on going back to school as an autistic teenager who is homeschooled. It can be a mixed bag of feelings, right? Some of us might be excited to see friends again or eager to dive into new subjects, while others may feel those familiar jitters creeping in. So, let’s dive into the ups and downs of returning to learning and the different paths that autistic students might take!

Hey everyone! 🌟

Here is my official first post!!! - so here's a little about me
