Adulthood... with a chance of autism

Ever find a brand you become obsessed with but all of a sudden it's hard to find? This episode is literally about my quest to find a particular flavored water brand. I share just how far I'm willing to go to get my hands on a product. And why I feel my thoughts and behaviors regarding this issue are to do with me being autistic. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-sch...

Obviously, I have been autistic for my entire life but in this episode, I share about what it has felt like to know I’m autistic and what this first year of awareness has been like. *** 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 Link...

My marriage is in shambles and this situation is so bizarre. Just needed to process out loud. Maybe skip this episode unless you've experienced a shaky marriage. *** 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.li...

I talk about my crumbling marriage and also how I finally feel like I deserve more from a spouse than what I've been getting, which is a constant feeling of being invisible. *** 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: ht...

Don't worry, it's not THAT kind of butt stuff, but there is some stuff about butts. Wish I could have seen the look on your face when this episode title popped up on your phone. Anyway I had a doctor appointment today with a rare treat: a male doctor! That appointment was half as long as they are with female doctors. This makes my autism happy, so I chat about it. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.co...

I've removed my autism mask, for the most part, but now I'm officially removing my COVID mask when I'm out and about. This is NOT a political episode. I just needed to process my feelings about this out loud. Mostly because I don't understand how I am super decisive about something one second, but five minutes later can't make a decision about something else. Especially when there is So. Much. Inf...

Is it just me or does it seem there are more of us autistics in the world than what people think? *** 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://adulthoodwi...

I finally understand why I've had auditory processing issues my whole life. I just didn't know that's what it is. I share what some of those issues are. *** 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.co...

I was such a bitch in past relationships, which I regret now. I broke up with guys left and right, but married the first woman I got with lol. I talk about regrets I have regarding the ways I chose to break up with people. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack...

I think it is important to talk about autistic awe and how much joy nearly anything can bring us - more so than many ordinary people from what I’ve been learning. This episode is just me sharing some of the things that I am in awe of. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autistic...

Unfortunately I had my very first "sit-down" tax appointment. It was an hour I will never get back. The tax preparer was slow AF and died multiple times in my mind. *** 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...

I'm dealing with a client who doesn't seem to know what they're doing. And they think it's ME who doesn't know. I wish people could communicate clearly when it comes to work. This is a venty episode. *** 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...

I catch feelings all the time - other people's feelings. This is described as a feature of empaths, highly sensitive people, and autistics. They all seem to be the same to me. This has been an issue for me recently, so I wanted to process through it. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com...

This is for all the so-called weirdos who think what we do is pretty normal, just not to ordinary people. Although in all fairness there are a couple things I do that even fellow autistics would scratch their heads about. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack:...

For anyone who actually reads these descriptions, my autistic brain trailed off when I started talking about the conversation between my therapist and me regarding scripts. She suggested I save a file on my computer with scripts so that when someone asks me something specific, I'll have the answer I need already saved and can just pull it up. So I saved what I wrote to that lady to use for future...

I told on myself and informed my friend I lied to her a couple weeks ago. It felt great. That's not sarcasm, it really felt good to explain an aspect of my autism and not be judged 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.c...

I want to know if there is such a thing as autistic paranoia, or is it just me who is paranoid? I go to great lengths to avoid doing anything embarrassing in public but I always feel like people are watching and judging me anyway. Can anyone relate to this?  *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.am...

While I was waiting for my car inspection, I was annoyed by someone's complete lack of awareness. Ranty episode. *** 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: http...

I lied to a friend recently about why I couldn't hang out with them but now I'm noticing that I feel guilty for doing things like that. I've done this so many times throughout my life because I never know how I'm going to feel on the day I'm supposed to hang out with someone. I realize that I can't do that anymore and need to just be honest about my autism and accept that I can't control how other...

I ramble about crying when someone shared their autism diagnosis, realizing I can't do normal grocery shopping, and that I have a crack in my windshield. *** 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...

Ham and Potato soup led to me finally applying some rational thinking to a shutdown I experienced recently. Autism for the win!  *** 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-874940...

I half-ass doing things just as much as I don't. What sense does that make? I feel like because I'm autistic I'd rather put energy toward things that I'll struggle with rather than on things that don't matter too much. Is this autism or am I just a lazy bitch?
