Day 2 of the Wellness Expo in Conroe 💝

03/14/2026

Today, I participated as a vendor at the Wellness Expo in Conroe. I will be here again on Sunday.

I presented a talk on resetting the nervous system and taught participants about how to do this through a gentle exercise called glimmers. We had fun!

They were all advised to go ask my husband (working our other booth for The Rock Fancier), why he eats all of my gluten free Oreos! (Lol, you had to be there. 😂)

Congratulations to Kelly, who won today’s drawing, a head massager, from my table at the Wellness Expo in Conroe!

I absolutely love Gary Gulman and this particular comedic piece of his. I love comedy in general! (Click the hyperlink below to watch his video.)

Humor is powerful in that is healing.
It makes us feel good especially when we are experiencing stress in our day-to-day lives.

Please take some time to read about the healing powers of humor and enjoy this comedy clip to not only set the tone for your day but to also enjoy a hearty laugh.

Please also try the suggestions I outlined before to help maintain the much needed humor you deserve.

Side note: I wish Last Comic Standing was still on TV.

One of our self-care activities this weekend. We have a passion for the elements and minerals of the earth that are beautifully, naturally formed! We also enjoy meeting new people who share this passion and socializing with our fellow dealers/vendors.

That said, this EXCLUDES set-up and tear down! 😂 We are in our 50’s and lugging huge specimens! What were we thinking several years ago to take one of our heaviest hobbies into a business 😂

Please take a moment to enjoy reading this piece on self-care.

I hope to see you there!

I have some female clients whose ASD was missed and they were diagnosed when they were young adults, including one of my daughters.

Her ADD was identified in high school. This was an accurate diagnosis. Not her ASD. She was misdiagnosed with something else. instead, was something else. Kevin and I didn’t know either and we felt horrible. We were not well enough adept in knowing all there was to know about ASD at the time. When she learned she had ASD, she became her best self - feeling relief and acceptance of herself. And, Kevin and I have immersed ourselves in helping those with ASD in our work.

She and my clients have all said that they were masking when they were younger as a way to appear neurotypical to others so that they would not appear different; feeing that they needed to present themselves in what they felt was the norm.

It is so important to encourage those with ASD to accept themselves for who they are and WE ARE the ones who need to make adaptations within ourselves rather than those with ASD.

Why AuDHD gets missed—especially in women.
Two reasons:
Autism and ADHD mask each other in assessment.
The impulsivity and disorganization of ADHD make the pattern-seeking and rigidity of autism less obvious. The routine-seeking of autism makes the ADHD hyperactivity look like stubbornness rather than dysregulation. Clinicians looking for one condition miss the other entirely.
The diagnostic criteria were built on boys.
Autism was studied almost entirely in boys. ADHD was studied almost entirely in boys. Girls and women with both learned early—through social observation and fear of rejection—to mask. To perform neurotypicality. To copy what socially successful peers were doing.
The masking works well enough to pass assessments. They fail life. They hit burnout in their 30s and 40s when masking becomes unsustainable. They get diagnosed with anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder. The actual cause—AuDHD—gets missed for another decade.
A BMJ study published this month found that the autism gender ratio approaches 1:1 in adulthood when properly assessed. For decades it was cited as 3-4 boys per girl. That wasn't because girls didn't have autism. Nobody was looking for it in the right way.
If you identified with last week's ADHD paralysis content but felt like something else was also happening—this week's blog might explain a lot.
40-70% of autistic people also have ADHD.
