“They” say #autism… or #ADHD… are not disabilities. It only seems like that in a world designed for “neurotypicals.”

I call that some toxic bullsh*t.

Heads up.

I'm recovering from what may be a "cold"... or... Omicron Covid.

So, I may be triple-vaxxed... But I'm unable to record this week.

I'm trying an automated reading service to keep in touch with you all.

I call this one, "Shitpost: The 'It’s-Not-a-Disability-It’s-Society' Myth… Sucks."

Let’s kick off Season 2 of #AutisticAF Out Loud podcast… by taking a risk.

There’s not much research on sexual abuse of autistic children… much less adults.

Maybe funding sources aren’t ready… yet… to stop trying to cure us. And study our lives.

So here’s my story. Someone’s gotta start talking…

I’ve gotta warn you it’s rough.

Some was too hard for me to read. So I used an assistive voice synthesizer… Weirdly enough, it’s robotic voice moves me.

If you’re autistic, love one, or especially parent one…

You need to hear this story.

But sexual assault is traumatic. If you experienced it… or love someone who has… this graphic episode could disturb you. In the US, the National Sexual Assault Telephone Hotline offers support at 1-800-656-4673. Day or night. You'll find a link in the transcript. Also further reading.

Preview the latest episode...

If *you’re* autistic… you may wince… mebbe chuckle.

If you love an autist… parent one… work with some… or can't make up your mind if you *are* one…? 

Come visit a world where Black Fridays, get-togethers, office parties? *Not* all cheery & gay.

Real talk. Some… a tad edgy.

But maybe... some things to help you understand. And share with family members who… care.

What better holiday to discuss adult autistic anxiety...

Than Colonialist Thanksgiving....?

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