Adulthood... with a chance of autism

Finally someone takes a suggestion of mine that they asked for and then tells me how much it's helped. Do people know all the hours of research that goes into an autistic person's suggestions?!? *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: https://autisticang38.subs...

In this episode I share a few things that have made me intensely happy recently and how I used to be bullied for it. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: https://autisticang38.substack.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030a/ Quora:...

It latched on to something and I can't get it out of my head. Is this a special interest? A hyperfixation? Both? All I know is I haven't felt this happy in a long time. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: https://autisticang38.substack.com LinkedIn: https:/...

I have no idea how others experience social hangovers, but I feel like I just had one. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: https://autisticang38.substack.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030a/ Quora: https://adulthoodwithachanceof...

My wife graduated from grad school today. And for once in my life, I didn’t have a meltdown and embarrass myself. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: https://autisticang38.substack.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030a/ Quora: htt...

I had a doctor app today and almost said something I probably would have regretted. For the rest of my life. Moments like that are rare for me (when I stop myself from saying the thing) and I thought I’d celebrate this small victory with an episode. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/...

Please just listen to the episode lol I honestly don’t know how to describe the topic. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: https://autisticang38.substack.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030a/ Quora: https://adulthoodwithachanceof...

In this episode I admit something super embarrassing, share my discovery of the brilliant Fern Brady, and talk about how I had no idea I am now a formal member of the LGBTQIA+ community. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: https://autisticang38.substack.com...

Had therapy today and talked about how I feel emotionally after losing Hades, my identification with POTS, and being asexual. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: https://autisticang38.substack.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030a...

Sometimes I still feel like I'm not worth whatever nice thing someone is willing to do for me. Today, it happens to be in the form of a client wanting to pay me quite a bit of money well in advance of even starting his project. He's a regular, and we have a trusting relationship, but I still spiraled at the thought that someone would trust me like that. Also, I admit that I SUCK at freelancing. It...

Just figured out I’ve got POTS and the reason why I’m so happy about this is because I FINALLY have an explanation for my weird lifelong physical issues. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: https://autisticang38.substack.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.c...

I'm super surprised that I feel at peace with Hades's death, even just a few days after it happened. What does this mean? I'm not used to feeling stable and calm and at peace after such an emotional event. So I just talk about that a bit. Also, I share something really embarrassing about my current financial situation. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teacha...

This episode is me basically bitching about the sun and nice weather. I really hate it. I feel like I have seasonal affective disorder during spring and summer rather than fall and winter like lots of other people. Can anybody relate to this, and if so, can you please email me and let me know it's not just me? *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p...

I recently discovered that I ascribe stories to animals. I do it with the mice in the attic, the birds during the eclipse today, etc. I'm not sure where this comes from, or if it's prevalent among the autistic community. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack:...

Random episode about Instagram, the show "Parenthood" and that dumb Max character, Steve Martin, and explaining my autism to my wife.

Cat update. Also I shared a secret ABOUT my wife WITH my wife, and I'm not sure if that was a good idea or not. Also, people need to stop demoing gummy bears at Trader Joes. And I also talk about what happens inside my brain when I have to stop what I'm doing and cuddle with my wife. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Jour...

Um, I started an Instagram… if you don’t want to weed through my BS you can skip to the last 5 minutes.

I’m trying something new, and it’s scary, but we need more community.

At least there was nitrous oxide. This was not a good time, but I realized most of the staff at that place are autistic.
