Bonus Ep 28 - Virtual Work is Hard to Find

Ep. 36 - A new co-host, blue buckets, a night society & Autistic resources

I'm baa-ack! Hopefully. Work and life have just been a thing since earlier this year and I'm learning how to juggle everything again. I do have a new co-host who is also one of my significant others @fierblade. In this episode we're just trying to get back into the swing of things but we talk about famous Autistic people, the blue jack-o-lantern buckets that are back for the spooky season, and some other Autistic non-profit communities out there! We also talk about learning to love and accept yourself for who you are as you learn who you are. Resources: GOOD AUTISTIC ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS VS.

Ep. 35 - Skimming ADHD with Em

Today Em, host of the podcast The Phoenix Cast [https://www.thepca.org/phoenix-cast] came and talked with me a bit about ADHD and how it can even relate to Autism. We had to cut this episode a bit short, but they will be back for another episode talking about their own life hacks that they use with ADHD!

Bonus Ep. 29 - Independence Day History & SILENT Fireworks (they exist!)

Well, it's that time of year again. Another year has come and gone to this particular noisy and awful month (sound-wise at least). Today I talk a bit about the history of Independence day and learned that silent fireworks actually do exist and they're just as expensive as the regular loud ones that traumatize people and animals this time of year. It was fun actually learning more about the history surrounding this day/event and maybe by next year (though I won't hold my breath) there will be more sensory-friendly fireworks popping about! Have a wonderful holiday, stay safe, have a wonderful existence & see you later!

Ep. 34 - TWS Sports Podcast Interview

Hey everyone, I learned about an amazing school just for Autism! Today I met with Adam who is a teacher at Tettenhall Wood School in the UK and we learned a bit about each other and what we do! It was amazing to have him here on the podcast (I want to say show haha) and I would love to have him back on again at some point in the future! Down below are links to the TWS Sports Podcast Instagram, their podcast page, and a link to the school that Adam works at! Have a wonderful existence, love you all!

Bonus Ep 28 - Virtual Work is Hard to Find

Hi everyone, yeah I know what I said last time, where it's easier to find virtual work... I lied haha, no I didn't lie, I was just misinformed? I didn't lie, the work is out there, but it's extremely hard to find. Today I talked about the different places and things I heard about that can help with working online and I also talked a bit about the balance testing I went through last week. I hope all of you are doing well and I love you all very much! Have a wonderful existence!
