Adulthood... with a chance of autism

Had some embarrassing moments in stores, which seems to be the usual these days lol. I also talk about a free mini-course I've developed about autistic intuition and trusting your gut. *** 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 L...

You know when you get a stretch of REALLY good days where you feel like everything's going great and you're motivated? I have a few of those a year. My most recent one came to an end today, and I'm surprised I'm not more bent out of shape over it. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/au...

In my book, there are more cons than pros to driving. In this episode, I share about my driving woes from my teenage years to the present. *** 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-...

It's here, finally! I've created a one-stop-shop for all things adult autism-related. This episode is me describing what this course will do for you, why I created it, etc. It's ideal for any adult who recently found out they're autistic. I've got resources, fun activities, hours of audio, cool shit to learn about, etc. By the end of it, you'll have an excellent grasp of what it means to live auth...

I don't get paid to write these descriptions, so I'll pass on doing one today (Maybe you should pass on this 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:...

My wonderful wifey got us tickets to see Alanis Morissette for my birthday. I talk about how the experience of seeing her and Joan Jett were, but most importantly, how I can finally replace that scarring childhood memory with something positive. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/auth...

I promise this isn't a political episode. I just share a few thoughts about some anxiety I'm having about where the US is and how I feel embarrassed to live here. I also talk about ethics and how I did something I don't feel very good about. Then some thoughts on The Bear. At the end, I confess that I decimated an entire spider family and feel bad about that as well. You know, normal stuff. *** Em...

This episode is about a few random things that happened this week. Most confusingly is why cars in the burbs are still being broken into? Who is still leaving stuff in their cars to steal? Why is this still a thing? Like my other episodes, this one won't be life-changing. I don't get into the mysteries of the universe or anything like that. So sorry. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Cours...

Just had therapy. I recorded this sitting in my car in the parking lot of Wegmans. It just dawned on me today, after therapy, that going mute is scary for me to experience. Like, I've always had extreme anxiety and fear around it, but never sat down and took a good look at wtf is this and wow I feel so scared when it occurs. In this episode I talk about instances when I've experienced selective/si...

That was not an egregious misspelling. I've combined the words selective and situational regarding mutism. Because "selective" sounds like we do this shit on purpose! In this episode I briefly describe my thoughts on selective mutism and also how I've been treated by others throughout my life whenever one of these SITUATIONS happens. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-...

This is a very random episode. I apologize for how all over the place it is. Maybe skip this one too? In this episode I talk about how I feel there are more autistic people in the world than not, how changing our cats' food extended their lives, a new autistic podcast I found, and that a neighbor I've been avoiding finally trapped me into having a conversation. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com O...

Very random episode but I sure feel better now that I said all that. FYI you won't get these 20-ish minutes back if you choose to listen, so you've been warned. *** 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.lin...

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:/...

My wife graduated from grad school today.

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/...

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...
