347) No AI Detectors in the Woods
Who’s autistic this week on Big Brother, accidentally turning into a section hiker, making a first Substack video, and wondering why a robot gets to decide whether human writing is human. Plus, an important correction: When I said Melody was becoming my new favorite BB player, I meant Taylor. NOT Melody! BB fans will understand why this correction could not go unaddressed.***Email: [email protected] Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101Autistic Logic Mini Course: https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choicesBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social(Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/LaterlyInstagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticangSubstack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.comThreads: threads.net/@autisticang38

346) Death Sucks. So Does That Aldi Bitch.
Tommy died, which is awful. A hike brought him to mind, Alisha’s heading next door for the weekend, Big Brother contestants won’t stop f'n crying, and unfortunately that Aldi bitch is still employed. Grief, errands, TV complaints, and the universe testing its luck.***Email: [email protected] Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101Autistic Logic Mini Course: https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choicesBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social(Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/LaterlyInstagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticangSubstack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.comThreads: threads.net/@autisticang38

344) I Have Once Again Caused Feelings
In this episode I chat about an encounter I had with another autistic human and what a nice surprise it was.

343) Please Keep Your Chaos Folded and in the Upright Position
This week I'm talking about my latest autism radar suspects (including a few familiar faces), the surprisingly freeing decision to cut someone out of my life, an unexpected parking lot conversation after Xena's vet visit, meeting the youngest doctor I've ever had, and why I'm suddenly evangelical about a neck fan and a cordless vacuum.***Email: [email protected] Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101Autistic Logic Mini Course: https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choicesBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social(Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/LaterlyInstagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticangSubstack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.comThreads: threads.net/@autisticang38

341) People Suck
I talk about unmet expectations, poor planning, looking for validation in the wrong place, hitting an emotional breaking point, and the moment I realized I can’t keep putting myself in situations that leave me mentally exhausted. I also get into a frustrating parenting situation, why some boundaries are worth disappointing people over, and why protecting your peace sometimes means simply deciding you’re done.***Email: [email protected] Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101Autistic Logic Mini Course: https://angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/why-this-feels-right-the-hidden-logic-behind-your-choicesBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social(Book) Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Etsy Shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/LaterlyInstagram: instagram.com/autisticang38 Public Journal series: amazon.com/author/autisticangSubstack: Read and subscribe for free to Adulthood... with a chance of autism at autisticang38.substack.comThreads: threads.net/@autisticang38

339) A Brief History of Me Saying "I'm Really Excited About That"
Warning: I use the word “excited” so often in this episode that it starts to lose all meaning. By the end, it could just be a bird call.I cover -neighbor diplomacy (including accepting a beverage to keep things normal and delivering a Costco chicken),my super reasonable theory about Evil Dick and Hitler,a mini spiral involving a car drop-off and a phone call at exactly the wrong time,a hike at Green Lakes where I actually worked with my POTS instead of against it,and all the excitement leading up to our trip to see the Dambo Trolls and spend time in Old Forge.(If you made it this far, message me the word “excited” and I’ll comp you one month of my paid Substack subscription. So come on over to Substack if you aren’t there already!)***Email: [email protected] - 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/autisticang38Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social

338) A Week of Unexpected Wins and Expected Disappointments
After spending Monday through Wednesday wondering if anyone owned a phone, Thursday comes bearing texts from both Janice and Nadine. Elsewhere, there are kids to visit, wins to celebrate, Pride crowds to navigate, and a long-overdue breakup with the UFC. Plus: a surprisingly high number of stories that end with something along the lines of "You know what? I'll take that as a win."***Email: [email protected] - 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/autisticang38Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social

334) No More Cooter Clown Creeps!
This week I uncover that apparently you can just rawdog a gynecologist appointment without a witness present, which would’ve been useful information BEFORE the emotional support audience got involved. Alisha continues her campaign against logic itself, Apollo plots his escape, and homemade pizza becomes linked to immediate gastrointestinal warfare because the dough was apparently still participating in society. Plus: Richard Simmons, the Survivor 50 winner, and the weekly “who’s autistic now?” segment nobody asked for but somehow keeps returning.***Email: [email protected] - 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/autisticang38Threads: threads.net/@autisticang38Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/autisticang38.bsky.social

322) Crying in the Kitchen with Bacon Grease and Big Feelings
This cringy episode has: a cashier casually recommending alcohol as a life solution, my anti-nausea pill completely betraying me, and a public brain glitch where my mouth chose the absolute worst possible word. Oh, bacon becomes the only food my body will accept, I have a kitchen cry about my chaotic brain, briefly feel like a normal human again, and then immediately slice my finger open on a Fancy Feast can lid—while surrounded by actual knives.

In this episode, you get the full internal battle: the version of me who’s done the work . . . and the version who absolutely wanted to go off.

308) This Episode Brought to You by Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch (and Autism)
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.

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.
