    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

    340) Aldi, AOC, & American Delusion

    The Aldi villain makes a triumphant return, Freedom 250 gets dragged, I make a presidential prediction, and yet I still find time to pack the house for Bella and plan a much-needed escape.

    339) A Brief History of Me Saying "I'm Really Excited About That"

    Warning: I use the word “excited” so often in this episode that it starts to lose all meaning. By the end, it could just be a bird call. I cover - neighbor diplomacy (including accepting a beverage to keep things normal and delivering a Costco chicken), my super reasonable theory about Evil Dick and Hitler, a mini spiral involving a car drop-off and a phone call at exactly the wrong time, a hike at Green Lakes where I actually worked with my POTS instead of against it, and all the excitement leading up to our trip to see the Dambo Trolls and spend time in Old Forge. (If you made it this far, message me the word “excited” and I’ll comp you one month of my paid Substack subscription.
