Spacing out... Zoning out... Most autists do it... to survive boring conversations, family get-togethers...

So dissociation's a good thing, Til it starts screwing with living your life. Or sense of reality.

This episode I talk aging as an Autistic Elder.

Getting finally diagnosed at 63… only to face mental decline as I hit 70…?

One Swedish study pegged autistic male lifespan at 53. So I'm living on 17 years of borrowed time, I guess… so far.

If you’re autistic, love one, work with some… or just can’t figure out if you are one…

There's gonna come a time you worry…

Real talk. About real life.

Cuz they ain't talking autism in AARP…...

Finally learning to create a place of safety, peace, and passionate work...

Did more than keep me out of psych wards.

It kept me alive. No joke.

If you’re autistic, love one, work with some… or just can’t figure out if you *are* one…

You really, *really * need to think about where you live...

What do *most* humans want from a new home?

To entertain & impress guests. For everything else... they invented tool sheds... and storage units.

Honestly...? Autistic-as-f***.me has *different* priorities.

Her eyes. So big… Then… Bigger…. Brighter… Enormous…

“They” say #autism… or #ADHD… are not disabilities. It only seems like that in a world designed for “neurotypicals.”

I call that some toxic bullsh*t.

Heads up.

I'm recovering from what may be a "cold"... or... Omicron Covid.

So, I may be triple-vaxxed... But I'm unable to record this week.

I'm trying an automated reading service to keep in touch with you all.

Let’s kick off Season 2 of #AutisticAF Out Loud podcast… by taking a risk.

There’s not much research on sexual abuse of autistic children… much less adults.

Maybe funding sources aren’t ready… yet… to stop trying to cure us. And study our lives.

So here’s my story. Someone’s gotta start talking…

I’ve gotta warn you it’s rough.

Some was too hard for me to read. So I used an assistive voice synthesizer… Weirdly enough, it’s robotic voice...

What better holiday to discuss adult autistic anxiety...

Than Colonialist Thanksgiving....?

For many, a freaking minefield of social obligation, exhausting small talk & *grinding* anxiety.
