I was perusing Upwork for projects and came across a job post stating there's a medication to cure autism. It was gross. In this episode I read the job post description as well as the message I sent to that client.

I had therapy today and had two revelations that aren't really revelations, but when your brain is in burnout mode, you don't see basic things. What I learned was enlightening but a little embarrassing. *** 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://autistican...

I was supposed to have a dental cleaning. They were out of nitrous so I rescheduled. And I just realized that I’m experiencing the same level of anxiety that I have after an actual dentist appointment.

In this episode I compare Calmer and Loops in case anyone is on the fence about them.
