Find Your Legos | It’s Good Mornings (the sorta podcast)

[@xlerb2286]

Best wishes for finding your legos and building what you want to build with them. Don't forget to look behind the nightstand. There's always a couple hiding there.

[@RocketBabyDolls1]

The Lego explanation makes so much sense, just in a different way for me. I was also a late diagnosed neurodiverse person (mild BPD) in my case.

[@tatterpixie]

oh man, thank you so much for the Lego explanation! (late diagnosed ADHD, probably neurospicy of some other flavor) I am FINALLY FINALLY at 69 years old rebuilding my Lego tower and working to be the most authentic me I can be.

[@mooniepiereilly8923]

I *so* much relate to your journey! (It's almost like we're twins at heart, only separated by 40 years. 😘) I absolutely love your nerdy science side and your goofy side. The main takeaway from finding my Lego pieces is learning to be kind to myself when I don't measure up to some expectation, others' or mine. Always. Kindness allows the real me to surface. ❤

[@scrapshappen]

I hear you. I was lucky as an AuDHD in the 70s and 80s was a mother who let me be me. Friends and society, not so much. I am now 'feelings' from 59ish years. Hugs ... I'm so glad you (and my own child) figured it out sooner. ❤

Hype for the science excitement! Medical lab scientist here. While I learned about human blood disorders and genetics, I'm sure it's equally fascinating for cats. You go girl! Be excited about it!

[@purplepixie1974]

Love you Mary and I'm sorry for making Bethany hug you 🤣🤣🤣

[@lauralhildebrand4987]

Thank you, Mary, for being so transparent. I know it's scary. But the thing I love about you and your channel is the goofy part! And the science part is cool too. I realize that with school and the coming changes after school is done, limit what you can do. But we (your peeps) understand and will always be here for you. ❤ Can't wait for the Screamies!

[@KB-ht2lg]

You are one of my favorite ppl on the internet. Thank you for being authentically you and sharing with us. ❤

[@Fortheloveofkittenrescue]

💜 you

[@jldisme]

I love it when you are goofy during videos! One of my favorite videos is your TNR workout.

[@KE29146]

Find your Legos is so beautiful

[@lindabarnes5235]

I love and appreciate you ❤️ Today’s podcast has been so helpful.

[@Mewtho9]

Love the lego comparison! Do you have a link to the original video?

[@Fortheloveofkittenrescue]

Oh goodness. Replying to say i have seen your comment and i will go try to find it right now.

[@Fortheloveofkittenrescue]

Okay is was forever ago so i cannot find it, but it was from Sarah Schaur! She talks a lot about late diagnosed autism and i love it.

[@Mewtho9]

@@Fortheloveofkittenrescue - I appreciate you trying! The message hit for my husband who was also late diagnosed, so I just made him watch your video.

[@coyoteartist]

Ok my brain can't get passed the Lego bit, because I who was diagnosed as a child of 7, would spend hours playing with my legos alone in my room, because I understood my Legos. My Legos didn't want anything of me, except to be used and created with. Somehow I'm now feeling like I'm lucky to have had some much of my issues understood or at least known about for so long and I didn't have to take anyone else's Legos. But I also feel guilty, because I don't really understand your explanation like I want too. Can I just say my kitties give you kitty kisses and purrs and stop thinking? My head hurts.

[@Fortheloveofkittenrescue]

That’s good enough. Go get a snack and take a nap 💜

[@coyoteartist]

@@Fortheloveofkittenrescue Thank you.

[@PrismsinaKaleidoscope]

I relate to so many of the things your talking about... most specifically the self doubt around sharing (the whole tell me if its bad thing). I also need to find my legos. Thanks Mary! (air high five)

[@stels4242]

Thank you for sharing, the Lego explanation makes soo much sense for me as a fellow late-diagnosis-er omg . Adding find your legos to my own 2025 goals

[@IngasVideos]

Sending love from Rock Hill! It’s so hard to be yourself when there are so many expectations that you try to meet. Please let us (Purrfect Pair Cat Cafe) how we can support you and the Screamies!

[@RoseFire6]

I am very excited to see your Lego creations in the coming year. They are going to be excellent.

[@nibbledrake14]

I wish you all the success in this year, and in life!! I’m so excited for the Screamies ❤❤❤

[@LadyKaelyn]

Hooray for upcoming silly goose times! I have missed your silly goose times too. ❤

[@cindyrussell7017]

You are finding yourself. The shame of it is you did not have a chance to be you when you where growing as a young person because of outside sources. You are just now starting to grow into yourself, but who is guiding you thru the process. Look within only you can guide you. The outside sources are there to give you food for thought. Remember stay true to your path. Best of luck.❤

[@RythmicRaindrops]

The lego explanation makes so much sense. Thank you :)

[@JasperAkhkharu]

Silly goose Mary is the BEST.

[@subaquatic_toaster]

Mary you didn't hold my hand when you said any of this 😢

[@Fortheloveofkittenrescue]

Oh girl. I’m so sorry. My autism doesn’t like touching. I’m giving you an air hug tho?

[@subaquatic_toaster]

@Fortheloveofkittenrescue ahhh I did not know this! Yes an air hug would be adequate, a carrier pigeon would be sufficient too

[@jenpink4298]

❤❤❤

[@rebelendeavors6484]

Mary: my 2024 goal… Me: *stops crocheting* wait-I thought it was 2025? Am I losing it? *Reaches for phone to check…* Mary: oh! No, 2025! Me: oh thank the gods! I’m not losing it! Well…mostly 😅

[@not.samcooke]

brooooo thank you for bringing up patriarchy, it’s so fucking true and honestly you inspire me to be a silly goose and not give uh F ❤

[@krisniznik3953]

Whose merch is that bottle?

[@Fortheloveofkittenrescue]

A random assortment. But mostly my merch stickers!

[@krisniznik3953]

@@Fortheloveofkittenrescue Oh, the black kitty looks a lot like Alley Cat Project!I love the ear tip!

[@jennw2002]

I had a really long reply this morning, and I don’t see it ☹️

[@StayTh1rsty]

The moments of 'getting your lego tower knocked over' you describe sound very much like the traumatic moments in my life that a therapist of mine described as causing dissociation. If the trauma is sufficient, a child's development can slow or stop, resulting in the executive dysfunction I have experienced for the entire 30-plus years of my life. "Am I autistic or was I just exposed to chronic, long-term narcissistic abuse by my primary caregivers?" is a question that makes me physically exhausted at this point about my own life.

[@texasmimi5566]

When I first found your channel, you were showing TNR and going to communities and rescuing pregnant cats and saving kittens. Now, when you post, it is all about your mental health issues. Are you still doing TNR's and rescues? I come to, and donate to, your site, Miss Dixie's Kitten Rescue, but it doesn't seem like you are doing this too much lately.

[@YorikTheBlasphemous]

I've been slowly "finding my Legos" ever since I figured out I'm autistic. I'm still trying to figure out how to find a job while not burning myself out. 🫂 Thank you Mary
