    348) The Vet Is a Dick & Now I’m on YouTube

    Xena’s vet appointment included a crying tech, an a*****e vet, and more reasons to wonder how much longer this clinic is gonna exist. My back pain has also reached the point where a chiropractor is about to touch me on purpose, which feels like an alarming new level of desperation. Plus, hikes, my first YouTube video, the horror of watching it back with my wife, and the surprising realization that putting my face out there doesn’t bother me nearly as much as it used to. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social (Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Laterly Instagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.com Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38 YouTube: youtube.com/@AutisticAng

    347) No AI Detectors in the Woods

    Who’s autistic this week on Big Brother, accidentally turning into a section hiker, making a first Substack video, and wondering why a robot gets to decide whether human writing is human. Plus, an important correction: When I said Melody was becoming my new favorite BB player, I meant Taylor. NOT Melody! BB fans will understand why this correction could not go unaddressed. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social (Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Laterly Instagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.com Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38

    346) Death Sucks. So Does That Aldi Bitch.

    Tommy died, which is awful. A hike brought him to mind, Alisha’s heading next door for the weekend, Big Brother contestants won’t stop f'n crying, and unfortunately that Aldi bitch is still employed. Grief, errands, TV complaints, and the universe testing its luck. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social (Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Laterly Instagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.com Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38

    345) The Disturbing Discovery That I Can Go Places

    I branched out, explored some new hiking spots, accidentally went on a three-hour hike from hell, and then—disturbingly—kept trying new trails. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social (Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Laterly Instagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.com Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38

    344) I Have Once Again Caused Feelings

    In this episode I chat about an encounter I had with another autistic human and what a nice surprise it was. Then I chat about a nasty email I got from someone who didn't like that I referred to the military as a cult and why I stand by my opinion. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social (Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Laterly Instagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.com Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38

    343) Please Keep Your Chaos Folded and in the Upright Position

    This week I'm talking about my latest autism radar suspects (including a few familiar faces), the surprisingly freeing decision to cut someone out of my life, an unexpected parking lot conversation after Xena's vet visit, meeting the youngest doctor I've ever had, and why I'm suddenly evangelical about a neck fan and a cordless vacuum. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social (Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Laterly Instagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.com Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38

    341) People Suck

    I talk about unmet expectations, poor planning, looking for validation in the wrong place, hitting an emotional breaking point, and the moment I realized I can’t keep putting myself in situations that leave me mentally exhausted. I also get into a frustrating parenting situation, why some boundaries are worth disappointing people over, and why protecting your peace sometimes means simply deciding you’re done. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Autistic Logic Mini Course: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choices⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social (Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Laterly Instagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.com Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38
