About Blahsum LLC

Welcome to Blahsum. I started this organization because I personally know the struggles associated with having a child diagnosed with Asperger's and an Anxiety disorder. My daughter Payton and I have been through countless sessions of therapy and we've had many, not so good days. As a Registered Nurse, I often felt like I've failed my child. I felt like I'm supposed to know how to fix this. However, it wasnt until I got Payton involved in social activities that I started to see a real difference. 

Soon after I started to see  the difference in Paytons behavior, she started drawing. Not drawing just anything, she draws her original characters that she has name "The Blahsums". 

This company was originally designed to sell childrens T-shirts decorated with her original characters on them. But then we thought that it would be a great idea to get more kids that were having some of the same difficulties as Payton, together. We want these teens to not only have fun, but experience the feeling of inclusion . Which is the main reason for her improvement! 

From the sale of each Blahsum character t-shirt, 100% of the earnings will be used to fund the Blahsum T.E.A. (teens experiencing anxiety) project. 

The goal of the Blahsum T.E.A. project is to achieve successful, non stressful social interactions between teens with high anxiety and their counterparts. Blahsum T.E.A. (teens experiencing anxiety), will hold monthly gatherings. At these meetings, teens will engage in a variety of socialization methods shown to improve social skills in adolescents and young adults. We will incorporate lots of game play and outings, including field trips. These activities are done in an effort to minimize the use of social media, and other forms of electronic communication. These modalities can worsen the anxiety these teens experience while attempting to communicate.
