| 233) If You're Looking for a Point, This Isn't It | 05 Nov 2024 | 00:15:45 | |
Random episode. I basically just dry-heaved for five minutes (not in the episode) and then got on here to record because talking helps settle my system.

| 232) Confessions of a Sleepover Rookie | 03 Nov 2024 | 00:23:13 | |
So had my first sleepover with one of our nieces. I survived, she survived. She's an autistic kid and it's the first time I've spent this long around any child, let alone an autistic one. So that made the experience for me way better. It went better than I thought it would! *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: https://autisticang38.substack.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030a/ Quora: https://adulthoodwithachanceofautism.quora.com/ Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/autisticang38/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@autisticang Threads: https://www.threads.net/@autisticang38 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/angela-n-walker/support | |||
| 223) Cats and Chats | 06 Sep 2024 | 00:28:48 | |
In this episode I talk about a vet visit with our new baby in which I struggled socializing with fellow autistics. I'm surprised because I thought conversing with EVERY autistic person would be easy but nope. Not even with my 11-year-old niece. So that's confusing to me. Will this episode change your life? NO. Should you listen anyway? Of course. You'll feel better about yourself afterward 🤣 *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: https://autisticang38.substack.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030a/ Quora: https://adulthoodwithachanceofautism.quora.com/ Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/autisticang38/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/angela-n-walker/support | |||
| 133) My Grocery Lists are Pretty Autistic | 08 Nov 2023 | 00:24:57 | |
I realize there are many autistic people who buy real food from the grocery store and make real meals. I am not one of those autistic people. In this episode, I read from several of my Instacart grocery list, so you can see the kind of odd items I buy on a weekly basis. I felt some shame about what I eat, and how I shop until I found out that I am autistic. So if you shop like this and have felt embarrassed, you're not alone. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: https://autisticang38.substack.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030a/ Quora: https://adulthoodwithachanceofautism.quora.com/ Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/autisticang38/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/angela-n-walker/support | |||

| 130) Bad Autism Article | 23 Oct 2023 | 00:30:21 | |
I read out loud the article “Seeking the Autism Diagnosis” in the Sep/Oct 2023 issue of Psychotherapy Networker. It was written by a therapist, who isn’t even autistic herself. She gives assessments to people who think they might be autistic, but in this article, she doesn’t seem very validating, and sounds kind of ignorant. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: https://autisticang38.substack.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030a/ Quora: https://adulthoodwithachanceofautism.quora.com/ Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/autisticang38/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/angela-n-walker/support | |||

| 128) Autism and Airports | 13 Oct 2023 | 00:32:25 | |
I watched an episode of the Amazing Race last night, and the contestants were in the airport, trying to figure out what flights to take. It reminded me of all the anxiety I had when I used to travel on airplanes all the time back when I was in the military. I haven’t been on a plane since 2007, however, I still think some of this information could be relevant to those of you who travel and experience some of the difficulties that I had when I used to travel. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: https://autisticang38.substack.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030a/ Quora: https://adulthoodwithachanceofautism.quora.com/ Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/autisticang38/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/angela-n-walker/support | |||

| 118) If I Didn't Experience It Then It's Not Real | 11 Sep 2023 | 00:14:23 | |
The other day, my sugar crashed. I’ve never experienced this before and thought it wasn't a real thing, just something people say when they are really really hungry. Now I feel like an ass because of all the times I invalidated people who said they were experiencing a sugar crash. This is exactly the situation that has happened to me throughout my entire life, where people don’t believe me because they haven’t experienced something I have.

| 105) I Told the Neighbor I'm Autistic | 22 Jul 2023 | 00:11:08 | |
And it didn't go so bad. The new neighbors had a U-Haul in their driveway. I mowed the side of the house and didn't look over at them once because, you know, making eye contact would mean I'd have to stop and talk to them! So I didn't. And as a reward, one of them followed me to my house and introduced himself. Since I felt like a complete moron for not having done that first (since it's the polite thing to do), I told him I'm autistic and struggle with socializing. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: https://autisticang38.substack.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030a/ Quora: https://adulthoodwithachanceofautism.quora.com/ Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/autisticang38/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/angela-n-walker/support | |||
| 104) Sometimes I Don't Know How to Be Supportive | 19 Jul 2023 | 00:24:19 | |
My wife is trying to lose weight and get healthy. I don’t know how to be supportive of her in this area because I live a sedentary lifestyle and I have disordered eating. I was never taught how to be supportive in some areas, and this is one of them. It seems so easy but it isn't. *** Email: autisticang38@gmail.com Online Course: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Public Journal series: https://www.amazon.com/author/autisticang Substack: https://autisticang38.substack.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/autistic-ang-87494030a/ Quora: https://adulthoodwithachanceofautism.quora.com/ Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/autisticang38/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/angela-n-walker/support | |||

I learned something new about myself this week but it's too hard to put into words. I learned that even if I have the ability and means to do something, I LITERALLY can't.

Just a short little rant about gameplay so I can move on with my day. I'm so tired of watching competitive shows and there's always that person who takes all game moves personally, is willing to throw their yearslong friendship with someone away over it, etc. It's a GAME.
