A few thoughts, several regrets, and a sprinkle of emotional instability.

I finally published my book, Welcome to Yourself: Words for the Late-Discovered Autistic Adult. In this episode, I explain what it is, who it’s for, and why it’s not a guide, a checklist, or a personality overhaul. Just words that make things make more sense.***Email: autisticang38@gmail.comBook - Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Autistic Logic Mini Course: https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choicesAdult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticangSubstack: autisticang38.substack.comInstagram: instagram.com/autisticang38LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030aQuora: adulthoodwithachanceofautism.quora.comReddit: reddit.com/r/autisticang38Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social
Took our cat to the vet. The vet had a meltdown. I was on the receiving end. It was unexpected, I actually wasn't the one melting down for once, and I was surprisingly understanding....but still cried. A lot! (I'd rate this autistic episode an A + + +)***Email: autisticang38@gmail.comAutistic Logic Mini Course: https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choicesAdult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticangSubstack: autisticang38.substack.comInstagram: instagram.com/autisticang38LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030aQuora: adulthoodwithachanceofautism.quora.comReddit: reddit.com/r/autisticang38Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social
In this here episode I cover everything from memory tests to mystery cereal naps, explain why joking about public confusion isn’t the same as mocking dementia, and somehow end up auditioning my very questionable singing skills. It’s unfiltered, unintentionally musical, and probably proof I should never be handed a microphone unsupervised.***Email: autisticang38@gmail.comAutistic Logic Mini Course: https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choicesAdult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticangSubstack: autisticang38.substack.comInstagram: instagram.com/autisticang38LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030aQuora: adulthoodwithachanceofautism.quora.comReddit: reddit.com/r/autisticang38Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social

I binged The Beast in Me and it was good enough that I forgot I don’t even like Claire Danes. Then I remembered and kept watching anyway, which tells you the level of desperation I’ve reached. I talk about the night drive I agreed to even though my eyes have already filed a workplace grievance.Also I recap my check-in with the surgeon who evicted Sylvester, give an update on my estradiol and seasonal barf schedule, and how I'm tired of people looking at my damn cooter!***Email: autisticang38@gmail.comAutistic Logic Mini Course: https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choicesAdult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticangSubstack: autisticang38.substack.comInstagram: instagram.com/autisticang38LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030aQuora: adulthoodwithachanceofautism.quora.comReddit: reddit.com/r/autisticang38Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social
Just some things my autistic brain can’t stop wonderingabout. I’m not here to answer them, I just need to know if anyone else is asking the same stuff.

Cleared my $3K ramen tab (thanks to my wifey), celebrated 3 years of healthy poops, and got officially nicknamed “Gremlin” by my internet dad. Also: commercials are still trash, it’s cold enough for people to retreat back indoors (finally, peace), and I’m going through our stuff to donate what we’re not using.

Just a little update on the shitty coworker I mentioned a few episodes back. How wonderful validation and karma are, amirite?

In this episode I give a cats update, talk about how No Kings went, and other nonsense. I don't chat about Eeyore. Only mentioned him once, but the other episode titles I wanted to use would've been inappropriate. Nothing life-changing in here, but I always hope there's stuff you can relate to. ***Email: autisticang38@gmail.comAutistic Logic Mini Course: https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choicesAdult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticangSubstack: autisticang38.substack.comInstagram: instagram.com/autisticang38LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030aQuora: adulthoodwithachanceofautism.quora.comReddit: reddit.com/r/autisticang38Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social

My niece casually outed our marriage and can identify a cat’s gender on sight.

I chat about putting surprises in my wife's work lunch, someone singing Beyoncé and church songs at Aldi, and trying to feel normal while everything feels off. Ceasar’s back to being a regular cat, Apollo still can’t handle me going outside, and I’m leaning hard on routines to stay functional. Also: the guilt of enjoying safety and small joys while so many people aren't safe. And a quick mention of my Autism 101 course and Substack.***Email: autisticang38@gmail.comAutistic Logic Mini Course: https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choicesAdult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticangSubstack: autisticang38.substack.comInstagram: instagram.com/autisticang38LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030aQuora: adulthoodwithachanceofautism.quora.comReddit: reddit.com/r/autisticang38Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social
