Again, sorry for the late delivery of today’s blog pot and I am sorry to again bring up something COVID related, however, I personally feel that it is important subject to bring up. As we are beginning to see a little bit of light in the tunnel of the Coronavirus Pandemic, we are just passing the tenth month of it. While I might consider a little bit of myself privileged to be able to go out, I pe...

As we come off of a national holiday, it was a somewhat different schedule for me. The day program was open on Saturday and we were open on a different schedule on Monday because of the holiday. As many know, these changes, while planned can throw someone such as myself off a bit. While I though yesterday was Friday, I am slowly realizing this morning as I am writing this that it is Tuesday. This...

This past week, I seen a post on Social Media by a fellow autism page that Sensory Overload does continue to adulthood. I am so proud that they have brought this up because I have been experiencing this quite a bit lately. I don’t know if it is the COVID or that I have been attending a lot of events lately where music is involved. Oftentimes, I feel as if this topic has to be an integral part of a...

This week has been one of those weeks. What has happened has. I personally experienced when things don’t go our way and how we as autistics have to improvise and make do with the moments and resources we have. We have to “grin and bear” with reality and face what we sometimes find as unpleasant. Especially in a time of pandemic, this can be hard on the autistic person and can pose challenges for t...

So, another week on the wellness challenge has come and gone. Yes, I have somewhat laid down on the drinks, but not at the level I liked. I was without bottled water on the weekend and didn’t get to the grocery store until Sunday, I had a grocery order today where I ordered, but got a 12-pack to get by. Yes, I could drink out of the tap, but that requires effort that might be made into an excuse o...

Yes, COVID might have uprooted our routines as an autistic community but it certainly can’t stop us from having what we need or want to do. If you asked me six months ago that I would be getting back on my feet in five, I would second-guess every thought you would give me but it happened, during COVID.

First of all, to fill the void of free time during the COVID Pandemic, I have decided to start the new year by bringing back the Wellness Wednesday series that I started and never finished earlier this year. My Weekly feature will now be released on Thursday as a result of this change. Here’s to a good new year. This episode is also available as a blog post: http://dustinsdynastyusa.com/2021/01/06...

Well, as we enter 2021, we are still fighting COVID-19. Yes, we have a vaccine but we still have a way to go until we even enter our way out of the woods. We may not be there totally yet, but some glimpse of light is working its way in to the eye of the world.  However, there is the need to know that people are hurting and at least the US Government gave it and businesses around the world a s...

Criticism, Everyone’s susceptible to it. But for the neurodivergent such as myself, it can be taken with such seriousness and heightened since that you are the worst person in the world. It may hold some merit that it was your fault and that some or all of those particular things may need to be worked on, therefore we take everything oftentimes as if things are wrong with everything in the world....
