FUNletter: Job opportunity, therapy openings, art, and more fun!

Funletter? Yes, because I'm packing this the things I find fun, and hope you will too. As an autistic, what I find fun is drastically different. AND THAT'S OK. I'm here to reclaim fun.

1. I had a GLORIOUS time at my month-long artist residency at Arteles in Finland. If you need some time away to work on your art, I highly recommend Arteles. You can all see other artist residencies here.

This is a picture from the community studio space.

2. I made a TON of art while away. You can see some of it in this video:

3. I also wrote about my art process in this essay: What do you do with your political anger and sadness?

4. If you’re looking for a meaningful way to make some extra money, Vanderbilt is looking for mentors for neurodivergent job seekers. The head researcher reached out to me directly, so I know this is a legitimate offer.

5. I was a presenter at the 2025 Neurodiverse Love Conference. You can access all 31 presenters through Neurodiverse love.

6. My friend made a beautiful oracle card deck! I got to see him work on it weekly at our local coffee shop. You can check out the deck on Etsy.

7. I’m releasing my books chapter-by-chapter each week on Medium:

• Being an Autistic Writer: The latest chapter is Inspiration to Get Your Writing Flow Back

• Therapy Private Practice: The latest chapter is What Holds Therapists Back

• What is Autism?: The latest chapter is How Autism Leads to Creativity

8. I’m seeing therapy clients again. I’m offering two options for new clients:

• 30 minute therapy consultation: If you’d like to see if I’m a good fit for you

• 90 minute therapy meeting: If you’re ready to jump in and get going!

9. I’m continuing to enjoy painting in my journal
