  • The Complexity of “How Are You?”

    July 1, 2022

    “How are you?” I never can tell if the asker is serious and actually wants to know, or just stating a pre-defined, shallow pleasantry. I suppose that’s a #neurodiversity problem. As a woman with a glorious and vivid case of ADHD, I’ve overshared my whole life. How SHOULD someone respond to that question in 2022?

  • My Memory List: An Exercise For Mental Health

    June 25, 2022

    March 26, 2022
