    Recovering and Rebuilding

    After the events in Israel of October 7th, I fell into a pretty bad spiral of fear and doom. Watching subsequent world events affected me very strongly until finally, this past weekend, I pretty much just fell apart. My blogging here during that time was emotional and I have removed some things...

    Autism Evaluation - Step 01

    I will be meeting with a health care provider for the first official step toward my evaluation for ASD. I believe that today's step is just the initial screening to see whether I get to take a full evaluation. Still, I am extremely nervous. This will be my first time speaking with an authority...

    Self-Diagnosis is Already Helping Me

    My wife shared with me today the fact that having the framework of autism as a prism through which to view my behaviors has already helped her to understand me better. We have a fantastic marriage and she is a remarkably patient and empathetic person who also happens to have an academic...

    Oh. Makes sense

    I got a text from an old co-worker of mine today. He's a really good guy whom I respect, but we only chat once or twice a year. We usually talk about politics and current events. Today I told him that I'm making peace with possibly being ASD1. His response? "Oh. Makes sense. It also explains...

    AITA?

    As I make peace with the falling away of my religious faith, I have been going to atheist YouTube channels and reading some threads which discuss religion. I have been very surprised by some aspects of the atheist channels and by some of the posts by non-religious people. The number one thing I...

    I started crying for no reason this morning

    I got up early today and have been reading a lot. And I've suddenly started crying. I started crying for no reason. For no reason other than: Reading an article on Medium entitled, “Your brain is constantly looking for rules.” — why autism is exhausting and diagnosis matters I don't know why...

    Is *x* a feature of autism? (I am asking so many questions)

    Since I am still very new to the topic of autism and to the likelihood that I am ASD1, I will be asking many questions on the Autism Forums discussion board. I am concerned that it may seem as though I am trying to ascribe every single one of my quirks to autism, but allow me to assure the...

    Later, but not Too Late

    I am over fifty years of age, and thanks to the miracle of my YouTube watched history, I think that I've been able to pinpoint August 10th, 2023 as the day that I first became aware of the possibility that I am high-functioning autistic. Since then, I have been doing my best to learn about...
