A Spectrum of Hyperfixations

Getting back on the horse! Life happened with lots of loss in 2025, but now we're back and talking about what caught my attention when it was announced: autistic Barbie. Now, I can't seem to escape news articles popping up in my feed about her.

Either way, if a child is happy, that's what matters with Barbie. Support the showWant to stay connected?Check out my Linktree for all the socials! https://linktr.ee/riseupcoachMy website: tracihallcoaching.com
