Adulthood... with a chance of autism

I think autistic people are very efficient and out-of-the-box thinkers, and we can be damn good at problem-solving. However, I’ve come across so many people who think my way is wrong, when, in fact, it’s the better way for ME. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Subs...

I talk about unrelated things in this episode.

Do you find that when you're talking to someone, you descibed something that happened but some of what you were thinking, you didn't say out loud? I just realized I do that, which means I leave out important info, and in doing so, portrayed what I said much differently than I intended. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Jo...

This is embarrassing but my last episode got cut off at the end and since I don’t know how to edit, this is the rest of that episode. I think and do things that I know are autistic and I really hope you email me even if you just do one of the ones I mention. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.am...

This episode is me describing what I’ve done with my new room in terms of decorating. I am having a hard time accepting the fact that my room doesn’t look like an adult hangs out here. After listening to this episode, if you do the same with your space, please tell me so I can feel better about this lol *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adulta...

I realize there are many autistic people who buy real food from the grocery store and make real meals. I am not one of those autistic people. In this episode, I read from several of my Instacart grocery list, so you can see the kind of odd items I buy on a weekly basis. I felt some shame about what I eat, and how I shop until I found out that I am autistic. So if you shop like this and have felt e...

I read out loud the article “Seeking the Autism Diagnosis” in the Sep/Oct 2023 issue of Psychotherapy Networker. It was written by a therapist, who isn’t even autistic herself. She gives assessments to people who think they might be autistic, but in this article, she doesn’t seem very validating, and sounds kind of ignorant. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school....

I watched an episode of the Amazing Race last night, and the contestants were in the airport, trying to figure out what flights to take. It reminded me of all the anxiety I had when I used to travel on airplanes all the time back when I was in the military. I haven’t been on a plane since 2007, however, I still think some of this information could be relevant to those of you who travel and experie...

I go into depth about my routines in the hopes that somebody will listen to this episode and share with me as many details as possible about their own routines.

I feel everything and nothing all at once. Is this alexithymia? I found an article about it and I share some of the information, but this isn't something I've specifically researched yet.

I just dropped my wife off at a ketamine therapy session, where a therapist is observing her while under the influence of ketamine. How does being watched for two hours not give her anxiety? It reminds me of all of the situations where I was being watched and how much that bothers me. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Jou...

The other day, my sugar crashed. I’ve never experienced this before and thought it wasn't a real thing, just something people say when they are really really hungry. Now I feel like an ass because of all the times I invalidated people who said they were experiencing a sugar crash. This is exactly the situation that has happened to me throughout my entire life, where people don’t believe me because...
