Meltdowns

Confessions of an #AdultAutistic Anxiety Junkie – Stimming, Overload & Anxiety, Pt.3

Podcast & transcript: What better holiday to discuss adult autistic anxiety…

For many, a freaking minefield of social obligation, exhausting small talk & grinding anxiety.

Dear autist, you are hard-wired for #AutisticJoy.

And in 21st Century America… I see them everywhere.

So I bought a Medical Alert Bracelet. To protect myself from “helping” First Responders…

No.

What an honor! I’m interviewed on BBC’s 1800 Seconds on Autism: Meltdowns & Shutdowns

A sincere question for the #ActuallyAutistic community… A lot of us could use the help…
