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
