This Happened To Me

I did my first job interview without masking – here’s how it went!

This was quite the revelation…

The reason I hid my autism…

For years, I masked so I could be someone else — now I’m wondering why…

Dealing with sensory overload and shutdown….

I unplugged myself from the Matrix today – and it was exactly what I needed.

Autism – why holding eye contact feels intimidating for me…

Making eye contact is easy for a lot of people – but for me, it feels like a form of emotional interrogation.

The purpose of my neurodivergent special interests…

This really was a revelation…

Dealing with sensory overload at the dentist…

Nobody likes the dentist at the best of times – but throw in a bad experience and sensory overwhelm at the same time?

From masking to embracing my unique weirdness…

The truth is, I’m not like anyone else – and now I love it.

Autism and the burden of overthinking…

Ever wish you could just let it go?

“I never would have thought you were autistic…”

The many reasons why autistic adults fly ‘off the radar.’

Reaching mid-life as a late diagnosed autistic adult…and why the best is yet to come.

It’s time to live in the joy of who we truly are…
