Experiment #01 - Results
We have heard from a bunch of you about how having a low key, No Expectations Day has been a central part of your neurodivergent lives. You told me that it helps you to recentre and to come back to yourself in the midst of burnout, and is a part of standard self-care to stay out of extreme burnout. Some of you are even teaching your kiddos how to have No Expectations Days for themselves. How cool is that?

Experiment #01 - No Expectations Day
Imagine a day where you have literally no expectations placed on you, by yourself or others, for the entire day, no matter what. Don’t want to cook? Cool, don’t cook, order yourself some foods. Wanna stay in bed in your jammies until 3pm. Rockin, let that moss grow you absolute treasure. Wanna play video games, or watch a million episodes of Bob’s Burgers, or sit in the bathtub until your skin prunes, or sort your fibre arts supplies into a colour spectrum? Do it. BUT, only if you aren’t expecting yourself to.
