I’ve been struggling with some self-doubt.
It’s an autism thang.
I’ve come to enjoy the sound of my own voice…
Understanding how & why takes me stumbling down a deep rabbit hole…
No apology. No justification. No lecture. No discussion. No education. No enlightenment…

Living Autistic… Out Loud.
Thoughts. Memories. Challenges. Survival Strategies. Successes. Special Interests… Music. Poetry. Cooking. Gardening. Politics. Agnosticism. Spirituality…
A real 3D life.
When I experience a meltdown, whether it manifests as panic attack, “autistic rage,” or shutting down…
For a while, the “me” I’m accustomed to being… disappears.
“Are you okay? Are you okay? ARE YOU OKAY?”
Like they’re talking to a Japanese tourist, and if they just shout loud enough… he’ll understand English…
Just remember, everything I’m about to tell you is a CRIME.…
Every therapy, every diagnosis, every medication– burnout, meltdowns, marriages, careers, shutdowns, and then there was clarity with a late diagnosis of autism.
