Thank you SO MUCH for doing this!

As someone who is currently struggling to get diagnosed because "I don't look autistic", the 'both formally diagnosed & self diagnosed autistics are welcome to join' part almost made me tear up. It breaks my heart to hear people say that self-diagnosis is less valid without even being aware of just how hard it is to be officially diagnosed with certain conditions, especially if you're an adult female.

Due to both the theme of this bundle and what this game in particular means to me, I'd like to submit Hang in There, Little One. I said before I never wanted to have this game associated with any bundles, but I feel like a special bundle also deserves a special game.

Hang in There, Little One
A solo journaling TTRPG about helping your inner child heal from trauma. The cover, in purple and black tones, pictures a little girl, sitting on the floor, her face hidden as she hugs her knees.

Unfortunately, the other games I'd like to submit were never finished because, due to a deterioration of my mental health,  I had a full-blown burnout last year and, even though I currently have 15 WIP projects, I haven't had the energy to touch any of them ever since. But I'm still glad I was able to finish this one, as it's my pride and joy. It's a game about dealing with trauma, which is something very near and dear to my heart and it's also the only game that my impostor syndrome doesn't make me hate.

Since we can donate up to 3 games, I'd like to submit these ones as well:

all of these look like lovely games, but "hang in there little one" looks so incredibly meaningful and touching and i absolutely love seeing games like this in the indie space. it reminds me of what i treasure about independent creatives so much who are producing such meaningful works on things a lot of big studios would never dream of touching. it really is a game after my own heart and i thank you for adding it to the bundle 

as a formally diagnosed autistic and social worker who mainly works with autistic clients, self diagnosis is not only valid but a wonderful thing. there are so many reasons either not to get a formal diagnosis, or why it would be difficult to get one such as being low income, AFAB, or a person of color. knowledge about autism is expanding so rapidly and is frequently outpacing trained clinicians and diagnosticians. it wasn't that long ago that most therapists turned away autistic patients because they saw us as too foreign to understand. i wish you the best of luck with your journey, and remind you that you are the expert on your own experience, and that if you feel understood & thrive in the autistic community, then you were meant to be there. if there's ever anything i can do for you feel free to shoot me a message (im psychhound on tumblr). i've helped dozens of people through this process at this point & believe we all should be doing what we can to take care of each other and protect each other

hey there! could you please follow this link to approve your participation in the bundle? thanks!
