Author of I Overcame My Autism And All I Got Was This Lousy Anxiety Disorder and Work It Out: A Mood-Boosting Exercise Guide For People Who Just Want To Lie Down. Wrestling and film nerd. Lapsed music fan finding her way back.

Completely random and irrelevant question, but does anyone else remember an interview with the mom of the singer from Serial Joe where she talked about writing their songs? I want to say in was in the Toronto Star. Or did I dream it as a teenager and believe it for decades?

Went through my Facebook and Instagram memories just now. Eleven years ago, I was posting about Man From UNCLE. Nine years ago, it was Miami Vice. Four years ago, I was going on about Niagara Falls daredevils. At least I’m consistent?

Here's a weird issue I'm running into: I've posted comments on a few of these now, along the lines of "when did everyone decide that ugly kids got diagnosed earlier?" and they insist that I'm reading too much into it and that's not what they're saying at all.

The hot new trend in neurodivergent instagram is to post some text over your hot face that says "Turns out that if you do well in school and are at least moderately attractive, they just let you raw dog ADHD and autism until your thirties, forties, or even beyond."

To be true to my inner 90s teenager, who was a touch snobby and a bit of a contrarian at times, I would like to say that the real challenge would be for me to name a perfect album by Nirvana, Pearl Jam, or Alice in Chains.

Sometimes I get press releases/pitches from people who must think that I'm a benevolent abled person who covers disability for a steady income. You do not need to quote autistic employment rates to me. I am one of the painfully underemployed! I can't even find an outlet to let me cover your thing
