Adulthood... with a chance of autism

We’re not the outcome of exposure. We’re the outcome of watching you lie and deciding not to join in. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal ser...

This episode contains zero shame, moderate cat hair, and one fully grown adult admitting that life revolves around four-legged roommates with zero chill and excellent bone structure. I talk routines (theirs), boundaries (none), and how I wish I could be a cat for two days. If you’ve ever whispered “You’re perfect” to a creature that just coughed up something unspeakable, you might be obsessed too....

This isn't a serious episode (are any?). Just a PSA for people who think random bullshit "causes autism." I highly recommend clicking off three minutes before the episode's done. Please. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Adult Aut...

Not my typical episode… I was spiraling earlier, thinking about all the atrocities occurring in this country. About how people are suffering, families are being torn apart. About how being white doesn’t mean anything when you’re a female, when you’re a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, when you’re a veteran, when you’re autistic. We’re all susceptible. I forgot to mention that when I was talking a...

Met my first flat-earther - in the form of a child! Wtf. Also, this is an update that I still never know where to go even if I've been there a thousand times. Not just physical spaces but also workplace jargon and other bullshit. I also share some stories about getting lost when i was younger. And other non-life-changing nonsense. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠...

Chelsea Handler said "spectrum," Eve on Survivor said "has autism," a kid is coming to visit, and somehow I understood a Human Design reading.

I've been thinking about how I've been out of the traditional workforce for six years and how much I don't miss the waste-of-time meetings I was forced to partake in. I made a list of stuff I've said in meetings that got me in trouble when I was (most of the time) just stating facts. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachab...

I talk about realizing that my brain can only process short chunks of things at a time, and it can only produce short chunks of things at a time as well. I told someone this for the first time and wasn't judged. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

Being woken up by your wife to go do bullshit triggered my PDA big time. And I had a meltdown. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon...

I also chat about who's autistic this week, neuroscientists who need to know they're autistic, and feelings I've been having about the evil that's occurring on a daily basis. (If you're bored and not in recovery, you could make a drinking game out of how many times I saw the words "weird" and "obviously" in this episode 😆) *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

Contained rage is the best way I can describe how I feel after witnessing "mean girl" behavior play out right in front of me but on someone else. This episode is mostly me bitching about mean people (aka dirty souls) and how my personality has been a "problem" my entire life. But also I need to know if people feel similar (or not) to being a spectator when others are bullied. *** Email: autistican...

An update on my latest addiction, and a list of stuff I doubt I'll ever be able to stop doing. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/aut...

I never do good descriptions for episodes, and this time will be no different. Mostly about PDA/lack of sleep and my new hyperfixation. And how I feel lots of joy because I haven't hyperfixated on something in so long, and it's just one of the best feelings to experience. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-f...

I sent an embarrassing text to someone by accident. About a butt gremlin. Also told a lady at Wegmans to stop yelling at her kids and was reminded of the time I pretended to be CPS. Also, still can't kick this cookies n cream addiction. Help! *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-beh...

I have an update about my cookies and cream addiction. In case anyone thinks my math is off, I do have dyscalculia, so I blame that. Other than that, I highlight some of my favorite autistic writers/newsletters. If autism is your special interest, if you just found out you're autistic, or if you simply enjoy reading, Substack's a great place (as of the time of this recording). I also encourage any...

This episode is mostly about what I love about being autistic. For context, I've only gotten three hours of sleep. I remember saying "my brain said this or did that" numerous times. But the rest of the episode is a bit fuzzy. I also shared about my interactions with other humans today and how my social skills are oh so bad. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https:/...

I watched the Fire Aid L.A. concert special that was on last night and had the best sensory experience ever. I don't mean any disrespect in this episode because I know the concert was only put on to raise money. I just didn't realize the impact it'd have on me. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the...

I got bit by karma (in my big toe). I also recorded this on three-ish hours of sleep. I think I was pretty coherent but I'll let you decide for yourself. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠ Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101...

My wife sprained her ankle and wanted to go to the ER. I told her they weren't going to do anything for her. It was a complete waste of time. I had a mini meltdown in my head and masked like I've been doing it my whole life (cuz I have). I needed to get these thoughts and feelings out of my head and body, which is the purpose of this episode. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Autistic Logic Mini...

Just a little episode about my neurotic behavior and the new kitten we got.

We lost our third cat today 😔and two died within a year. Not a sad episode. I chat about what happened to him but also how VERY DIFFERENT pet grief is from human grief. I've lost several close people over the years. But the grief I have for a pet death far surpasses the human kind. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journ...

In this episode I chat about some nonsense first and then get into how I've been a people-pleaser for most of my life. How it's affected me, why I did it. And how it felt when I stopped. *** 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...

If you listened to the first Weird Shit episode, this is a continuation. If you haven't, just listen to this one.
