Hi there! Welcome to my channel! My name is Olivia and I was diagnosed with ASD in January 2020 at 24 years old. It was the best day of my life because I finally got my answer to my lifelong question of, “Why am I the way I am?”
My goal now is to help others struggling in the same way I was and bring awareness to what Autism looks like in females and adults. I upload videos about Autism, how it affects me, and my personal experiences with it. Follow along with me as I figure out how to live my best life on the Autism Spectrum!

Goodbye, my sweet boy Blu. When I got you at 8 weeks old, I prayed to God to give me 10 years with you. He gave me 14. Thank you for being my best bud since I was just 16 years old. Swim free until I see you in Heaven again one day! 🩵

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and Holiday Season! I just had to hop on here because I just finished watching Lucifer on Netflix and it left me emotionally destroyed! 😅 I started watching it a couple months ago and it quickly became a special interest. I absolutely loved it and thought it was hilarious. I just finished the series last night, and I literally cried through the last two episodes, and I NEVER cry during movies/shows. I then continued to cry for an hour afterwards, and today has been rough 🤣 Has anyone else watched this incredible show?! I need someone to talk about it with!

Hey everyone, today sucked. Worst day I’ve had in a very long time, so I can’t really complain. I had my first unhappy bride today. She hated her dress, and it was my fault. She wanted changes to the sample dress she tried on, and I overpromised her. It was on accident and shows my naivety in the business and that I’m still learning. This was a rough learning experience, and in the process, I ruined a bride’s dress. Her wedding is in only two weeks, so I basically screwed up everything for her. I feel absolutely awful. I can’t even describe. The knot that has been in my stomach for the past 24 hours has been insane. I want to curl up and sleep forever to make this pain go away. Alas, I have 8 appointments coming up this weekend starting tomorrow bright and early at 9:00am. So, I have about 12 more hours to wallow in my self pity. If you can say a prayer for the bride to be able to find a dress, I would appreciate it. Thank you 🙏🏻 Also, my sister moved out so I should have more time to film now. I think I’ll do a video about this experience and how I managed to handle it with my autism in mind. Does that interest anyone? Thanks for listening, as always. 🩵

Hey everyone, have any of you heard of the term “family scapegoat”? It was brought to my attention today by a fellow autistic friend and it was very interesting to read about. I obviously have lots more research to do, but if you don’t know what it is, it’s what it sounds like basically, you’re the scapegoat for your family’s disfunction and are unjustly blamed for everything wrong in your family. Has anyone experienced this? As the disfunction in my family grows and grows, I’m thinking of doing a video about how it could correlate to the autistic family member being the easy scapegoat because the rest of the family members don’t care to understand us as autistics, so they blame everything on our disabilities. Let me know your thoughts, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

Hey everyone, I hope you are all doing great. I have so much to catch you up on, but have been struggling to catch up on life myself. I know you are all always so patient with me and I appreciate endlessly.
I am unfortunately at my wit’s end with my family and my current living situation with them. Alex and I are going to start looking at places to move, and I would love suggestions. I have only ever lived in SoCal, but it’s obviously not affordable and we need to move elsewhere. I am not well traveled in my own country, so any suggestions of great and affordable places to live would be amazing.
Thank you all in advance! 🙏🏻🩵
