Pretend Rock Star... Cuz it's ALL cosplay.
I have no credentials to offer. At least none that matter anymore to me.
So I offer my life.
It's all I have to give.

I’ve come to enjoy the sound of my own voice…
Understanding how & why takes me stumbling down a deep rabbit hole…
I’m overwhelmed by the USA…
Art is how I deal…
Wilted Garden Salad… About 10 minutes. Tops! Massive Nutrition! Vegan! (Or Not!)
There is no… none whatsoever… NO reason for a person performing a welfare check, or other purely social service, to be packing any form of lethal weapon.

Autism in Poetry: My Friend Billy
Friendship is complex for this autistic…
Billy & I had nothing in common. Except our hearts.
Can’t wrap my head around it. Not this moment in history… Not this moment in my life…
Not this m o m e n t
My autistic heart cannot seperate my life from our world’s fate…
And the rising tides of hate.
Hot, sweet, sour, salty…
and LOADED with probiotics…
No apology. No justification. No lecture. No discussion. No education. No enlightenment…
Here’s the experience of autistic sensory overload.
When the fog of meltdown comes on, I can’t think of what to do in that moment… to just deal….
So I made a little list…
Autistic joy is hard to explain to another person. Pretty much ANY non-autistic person.
And trying to… drags me into Deep Philosophical Waters…
“Well, we all have meltdowns, don’t we sweetie…?”
Ummmmm… Actually…?
No.
The issue isn’t age, education, or IQ… Autistics vary just like neurotypical humans…
But intensity…? We got that covered like stink on shiznit.
For some, living autistic is about the exhausting quest for…
Perfection.
What an honor! I’m interviewed on BBC’s 1800 Seconds on Autism: Meltdowns & Shutdowns
#AutismAcceptance…?
Look out. That first step’s a doozy…
A sincere question for the #ActuallyAutistic community… A lot of us could use the help…
It may sound involved. But it’s freaking easy. With a half hour notice, I can have them coming out of the oven when grandkids arrive…
For some families, autistics aren’t the children parents ordered…
Works for me.
