Hi! I’m Asten — writer, chaos curator, nostalgia enthusiast, and your friendly neighbourhood neurospicy adult just trying to make sense of life, love, and the weird world we live in.
Actually Asten is my little corner of the internet where I talk about being autistic, disabled, creative, and (let’s be real) delightfully unfiltered. Expect posts about stimmy songs, awkward memories, hospital flashbacks, Barbie Dreamhouse marathons, my popstar-loving book series (Amber & Jonas), and why I still lowkey miss dial-up internet.
A Bit About Me:
- 🧠 Autistic + OCD + part-time wheelchair user = a whole adventure
- 📝 Author of the Amber & Jonas series.
- 💍 Engaged to my best friend Myron — we met at Movie Camp and quote The Inbetweeners far too much
- 🧋 Founder of “Project Glow Up” (my weight loss and surgery journey)
- 🐾 Stimmy fidgeter. Tetley tea drinker. JLS stan. Bingo lover. Big fan of cheesy chips.
This blog is honest, chaotic, and sometimes messy — just like life. But it’s real. I write it for the people who were always told to stop spinning, sit still, act normal, and be quiet. Spoiler alert: I never did.
So whether you’re here for the 2000s flashbacks, the mental health talk, or just to see what on earth Daisy Carter’s going to say in her next unhinged journal entry — welcome. You belong here.
Love,
Asten 💜
(she/her, always spinning)
