they/them
My name is Courtney and I'm a late-diagnosed Autistic adult navigating extreme burnout, unmasking, and the process of cleaning up my own midlife mess. I love dinosaurs, mermaids, making art, and playing video games! I prefer they/them pronouns.

Thank you!
I often share products and books I like using affiliate links. While purchasing through these links doesn’t cost you anything extra, I do receive a small commission, which helps me continue creating content here on YouTube.
I only share links to products I personally use and love and will always disclose affiliate links or if a product is a paid/promotional item.
Thank you!

I meant September!!! 😆🤯😅 Thanks so much friends for letting me know! Obviously I’m not ready to let go of August (even though I really am).
The stream will be here on YouTube for my channel members!

Hey friends! 💜
I've recently decided that I want to dedicate more of myself and my time to creating free autism resources and YouTube content for late-diagnosed, high-masking individuals, because so much of the support out there is expensive, inaccessible, or simply lacking.
Having a dedicated Patreon will help support me in doing that.
My Patreon supporters can expect casual personal updates, behind-the-scenes looks at resources I'm creating, additional commentary on related topics, conversations and community discussions, polls and opportunities to help shape what I create, and more as this space grows.
I don't want to lock autism resources behind a paywall. That's not what this is going to be. My resources will remain free (or available by donation) through my Ko‑fi because I believe this kind of knowledge and support should be accessible to everyone.
Supporters will also have the opportunity to chat and connect with other members, creating another little space for belonging and community which is something that a lot of us, myself included, struggle to find in our lives.
Thank you so much for being here. I'm incredibly grateful to have you along for this journey with me.

The stream will be publicly available at some point after (I am still working out the details) so if you are not a member, stay tuned!
Thank you so much for all the love and support and I look forward to catching up on Monday!

Hey my friends! I will be taking a little break until July when I will start posting regularly again on Fridays. I actually have all of July now scheduled and we are covering some BIG topics for me and I am stoked to get the conversations going!
My dog is going in for surgery next week which is why I haven't been around as much. I had to take on a bunch more orders through my shop to attempt to cover everything and I'm still really short. I'm doing my best and I know things will work out but I just wanted to make sure I let you guys know since you are all also important to me and I do want to keep the channel going.
I hope you are all doing well and if, like me, you are hanging on by a thread, I am sending you the strength to get through it.

The next design in my infinity dinosaur series is now up in my Ko-fi shop (free or by donation). All donations received through my Ko-fi right now are going directly to the cost of Gru's surgery next week. Thank you friends! 💜

New video going up on Friday! NEW TIME - 10AM PST!
This is a video is honestly just me sitting down with you and talking. About burnout. About Autism. About chronic pain, PMDD, IBS, running a business, trying to survive in a world not built for me and trying to figure out how to keep moving forward when everything feels like it's just TOO MUCH.

Hey friends! Can you guys help me understand what you are here for when it comes to my content? If you feel like more than one fits, or none of them do, can you please leave a comment to better explain?
Thank you!
