I just made my first anonymous public post on, folsom.feelings and I can’t wait to tell you about it.
As a person who knows what kindness sounds like, can play kindly with others who model it, and doesn’t have a handle on how to describe it… it’s been invaluable to my experience becoming an #AutisticAdult to use a tool like folsom on this journey.
One of the most significant changes in my life this year was comprehending that how I understood my feelings was wrong. I needed to learn again how to describe my good and bad feelings and how to inform others about how they are making me feel. It is a daunting task for any developing human, arduous when your experience of the world has been learned using perception.
I don’t post all the time, and I keep many feelings to myself or a network of #confidants, but as you can imagine, having a platform that serves as a #reflection journal, supports me in #namingmyfeelings, and then generates an image of it has been not only been useful and brought delight, but truly has made it easier to find #kinship with others on their own #resiliency and #recovery journeys.
The team just provided us with the option to share publicly; I can’t quite describe how excited I am to remember how to feel #brave.
Great work, Evan Brown and Alexander Martino I can’t wait to see what you create for us next.
