Pieces of me

We are all uniquely different. There has never been another human on this planet who has looked, thought, and moved the same way as I and you do. Humans are also one species, joined and connected by our genetic code, and bound together through our collective history, memories, and knowledge. The stories we live and the narratives we weave and tell, as individuals and as a society, both connect us and contribute to our infinite variation.   All of us sit somewhere within this diversity and the oneness of our species. In between these framings, our individual lives play out in countless diverse ways, each action leading us to new destinations and experiences. This constant motion and movement through time and space also brings us together. Our journeys from birth informing the views we take in and those that we hold on to.

Fuel Bubble: 2.0

 

A few months ago, I posted a blog entitled, 'My Fuel Bubble': A written explanation and exploration of an original idea that my autistic son had shared with me.

This is an attempt at a dynamic explanation in visuals and words.


MyFuel Bubble 2.0 is a short film, describing how a fuel bubble is formed and held. Fuel bubbles are personal and unique to all of us, no matter our neurotype. They give us authentic energy to be and to be well. They are also transient, dynamic and vulnerable to changes in the elements that help shape them. When sustaining a stable or controlled energy flow within the fuel bubble reaches a critical level of ‘imbalance’, it may burst and energy is rapidly lost. This might look on the outside like a 'meltdown' or a 'shutdown'. Our fuel bubbles rarely disappear completely, but after energy is lost, fuel bubbles are understandably smaller, and may take time to reform. A frequent cycle of forming-bursting-forming, or where bubbles are burst in unpredictable or intense ways, can lead to more significant effects, such as 'exhaustion' or 'burnout'.
