    355) The Great Autistic Schedule Shuffle

    A new special interest means making some changes to my usual routines, which is always an interesting experience when you're autistic and rather fond of how things are already arranged. This week I'm chatting about making room for the things that bring us joy, discovering an autistic musician with ADHD, spotting a snapping turtle on my hike, the ongoing weirdness of chiropractic visits, and my very important discovery about cooking tater tots in seven minutes. *** 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

    354) A Meat Stick w/ Manners and Trust Issues

    I'm one of the vet's favorite customers, I've developed actual human muscles, and I was NICE to the bitch at Aldi. Who the hell am I anymore? Also, the neighbors are still nosy, my chiropractor's giving me weird vibes, and I've got thoughts about Lizzie Borden. I also chat about my newest Etsy creation, EXIT MODE! It's for those moments when talking is completely off the table but you still need a way to tell people what's going on and help yourself out of a situation. *** 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

    353) We’ve Known Each Other for Years. So What?

    I’m at the point where I don’t want relationships that only exist because we’ve known each other for years. I talk about two people we’ve known forever who canceled on us three times in a row without even bothering with a sorry, and how that made me look at the friendship a whole lot harder. There’s no real foundation. No emotional maturity. No closeness underneath all that history. And I think part of why I’m noticing it so much now is because I’ve changed. I don’t feel avoidantly attached the way I used to. I feel secure. I want relationships with people who show up, communicate, care, and actually know how to have a real connection. I’m done keeping surface-level relationships around just because they’ve been around a long time. F that. *** 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

    352) I Accidentally Made Over 100 YouTube Videos

    I forgot I had a podcast, which seems like a good place to start. I’ve been spending a ridonk amount of time on YouTube and now have over 100 videos cuz apparently once I start something, moderation leaves the building. I’ve also been walking a ton, losing weight, wearing new clothes, and putting many, many miles on my poor little tootsies. Sparky and I have been checking out new places, which I love right up until my anxiety remembers it has a job. I’m still going to the chiropractor too. Today was appointment eight. I don’t enjoy going, but annoyingly, it helps. The cat family is doing good. Phil had his teeth cleaned Monday and is currently on antibiotics, which I’m sure is exactly how he wanted to spend his week. And most importantly: FALL IS HERE!!! So basically this is a catch-up episode about where I’ve been, what I’ve been doing, how I forget an entire podcast existed. *** 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

    349) I’d Like My Car Back, Except I Wouldn’t

    A warning light, an oil leak, no money to fix it, a meltdown, selling my car to Alisha’s sister, and the horrifying realization that I care deeply about who drives a car I no longer own. I also get into why sharing a car messes with my routine so badly, why disappointment turns me into an a*****e, and why I apparently need a private vehicle for emotional and logistical reasons. *** 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

    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
