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
309) The Least Neurotypical Vet Visit on Record (00:26:29)
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!

308) This Episode Brought to You by Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch (and Autism) (00:28:27)
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

305) I'm Tired of People Looking at My Cooter (00:23:02)
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
304) My Autistic Brain Has Follow-Up Questions (00:18:47)
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.

303) Ramen Debt Cleared, Bowels Too (00:23:05)
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.

301) Connection Hits Different When You Don’t See It Coming (00:26:08)
Had my first Zoom group thing today. I've never done something like it before so I share how it went in case others can relate. But before that, some stuff on nostalgia and an unexpected phone call.***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
300) You Can’t Outrun the Karma Bus (00:14:39)
Just a little update on the shitty coworker I mentioned a few episodes back. How wonderful validation and karma are, amirite? And a couple other things, one of which I'm REALLY hoping someone 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
299) Inflatable Eeyore Has Had Enough (00:21:15)
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
298) The Dirty Soul Accountability Program (00:21:44)
A few updates, a little chaos, and one story that proves the universe keeps receipts. Remember that coworker who made everything harder than it had to be? She finally enrolled herself in The Dirty Soul Accountability Program—no application required.***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
297) My Niece Clocked Our Marriage and the Cat’s Balls (00:22:40)
My niece casually outed our marriage and can identify a cat’s gender on sight. I chat about that, a chaotic trip to No Kings, why John Candy was obviously autistic, and ghosting my therapist like it’s self-care.***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
296) America: The Trauma Is Free, But the Therapy’s Extra (00:23:12)
Supreme Court rulings by mood swing. Congress still on vacation. Placenta wellness trends. Autistic Spice Girls. Evil Dick. Sticky rice.

295) Routines, Ruminations, and Random Beyoncé Moments (00:19:03)
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
294) I Drank from a Hose and Now I Can See the Future (00:20:50)
In this episode I recount how I survived hose water, asbestos, and lead paint - only to be taken down by an air conditioner and a swarm of carpenter bees. Also: the regime thinks LEGOs cause emotional damage, Wi-Fi might make your kid a communist, and grocery prices are now a jump scare. ***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
293) This Whole System Smells Like Ass (00:29:33)
I think it's weird that we have royalty in this world, one person representing an entire country, award shows where everyone plays dress-up, the insane amount of projection happening in the U.S., why dirty souls get elevated to top positions, and how people on shows like AGT are acting like nothing's going on right outside their building.

292) Honk Honk, Beep Beep — Democracy’s Six Feet Deep (00:27:09)
America’s not run by leaders — it’s run by clowns who couldn’t organize a lunch order if you spotted them the fries. They honk, they beep, they trip over facts, and somehow they still get reelected. Welcome to the only circus where the tickets are mandatory and the exit is padlocked.I also chat about cats, rollercoaster emotions, and other stuff I forgot.***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
291) Velcro Kitties, Speed Walking, and 28 Million Dollar Bullshit (00:26:17)
In this episode I chat about how I found out we have two cat breeds, driving another child around, and a pair of stupid shoes. There's more, but that's what comes to mind.

290) My Brain Go Bye-Bye (00:31:43)
Evil Dick and his poison-butt minions, Fox News aliens in disguise, Jen Psaki slander, Amanda Knox, mowing fails courtesy of POTS, VA rage-quitting, Caesar’s med math, and a dash of independent media recs. As always, nothing here is life-changing, And I have extra potty mouth.

288) This Episode Is Brought to You by Poor Decisions (00:28:50)

287) Mashed Perderders and Bunny Limbs (00:26:16)
The perderders and bunny limbs aren't mentioned until the end of the episode but this was the title that came to mind, so I'm going with it. In this episode I provide life updates that nobody asked for. A new autistic song I found, Devon Price's newest book, how I don't like people borrowing my stuff . . . and then the perderders and torn-apart bunny. Don't worry it's not as sad as it sounds.
