One of the most thrilling parts about cooking is the unique "secret techniques" we develop over time. You know the stuff that's never mentioned in recipes, but makes people exclaim, "Why does this taste so amazing?!" Here are a few of my secrets: I always add a pinch of espresso powder or instant coffee to my chocolate chip cookies. It doesn't make them taste like coffee, but it enhances the chocolate flavour in a remarkable, profound way. People always wonder why my cookies taste "extra chocola

I used to think a long-distance relationship might actually suit me. Typing out my thoughts gave me space to process. Scheduled calls meant I could prepare, not be caught off guard. For a while, it worked, she told me my texts felt like handwritten letters, and I felt understood in a way I rarely do face-to-face.But distance has a way of amplifying what we need most. She craved spontaneous video calls and bursts of affection. I needed time to transition, to get ready for the intensity of real-ti

For as long as I can remember, people have tried to fit me into neat little boxes labels that never quite matched how I actually felt When I was a kid, adults would say things like, “You’re just shy, you’ll grow out of it.” But what they didn’t see was how I’d lie awake at night, replaying every word I’d said, worried I’d missed some hidden rule everyone else seemed to know. As a teenager, I’d hear, “You’re so blunt it’s refreshing!” But behind the laughs, I was quietly exhausted, trying to keep

I recently watched a documentary on YouTube called 'The Life Autistic' and felt compelled to share it here. It's one of those rare pieces of media that delves into the lives of autistic individuals. Watching it, I found myself surprisingly moved. Hearing others articulate feelings and challenges that I thought were unique to me was a powerful experience. It made me feel seen and understood in a way that not much media does. If you're looking for something that respects and represents our lived e

Let's talk about something we often keep to ourselves: it's okay not to feel okay. There are days when I'm far from okay. Days when my thoughts spin in endless circles, creating a static buzz in my brain that I can't silence. Days when my body is a bundle of tension, my words stumble or disappear, and my heart feels weary. But through it all, I keep whispering to myself: "One day, I'll be okay." Not "healed."

We all understand that obtaining a diagnosis for autism or ADHD can be a long process. In some regions, families may wait for over a year. These delays can prevent children from receiving the support they need immediately. But could technology be the solution? Researchers at Indiana University have been experimenting with an artificial intelligence (AI) system that observes children's movements, specifically their hand movements during a simple touchscreen task, to identify signs of autism and A
