355) The Great Autistic Schedule Shuffle
A new special interest means making some changes to my usual routines, which is always an interesting experience when you're autistic and rather fond of how things are already arranged. This week I'm chatting about making room for the things that bring us joy, discovering an autistic musician…

354) A Meat Stick w/ Manners and Trust Issues
I'm one of the vet's favorite customers, I've developed actual human muscles, and I was NICE to the bitch at Aldi. Who the hell am I anymore? Also, the neighbors are still nosy, my chiropractor's giving me weird vibes, and I've got thoughts about Lizzie Borden. I also chat about my newest Etsy...
-
353) We’ve Known Each Other for Years. So What?
I’m at the point where I don’t want relationships that only exist because we’ve known each other for years. I talk about two people we’ve known forever who canceled on us three times in a row without even bothering with a sorry, and how that made me look at the friendship a whole lot harder....
-
352) I Accidentally Made Over 100 YouTube Videos
I forgot I had a podcast, which seems like a good place to start. I’ve been spending a ridonk amount of time on YouTube and now have over 100 videos cuz apparently once I start something, moderation leaves the building. I’ve also been walking a ton, losing weight, wearing new clothes, and putting...
-
351) POTS, Pets, & Tree Crimes
A vet visit, an unexpected border terrier sales pitch, a questionable tree-cutting plan, and some thoughts about the POTS walk videos I’ve been making for YouTube. *** Email: [email protected] Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Autistic Logic Mini…

350) I Have Transportation and Several Complaints
I got a Chevy Spark, named it Sparky because originality is alive and well, and developed several complaints about Chevrolet, chiropractors, Aldi parking lots, and my own hobbies. *** Email: [email protected] Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Autistic...
-
349) I’d Like My Car Back, Except I Wouldn’t
A warning light, an oil leak, no money to fix it, a meltdown, selling my car to Alisha’s sister, and the horrifying realization that I care deeply about who drives a car I no longer own. I also get into why sharing a car messes with my routine so badly, why disappointment turns me into an…
more -
348) The Vet Is a Dick & Now I’m on YouTube
Xena’s vet appointment included a crying tech, an asshole vet, and more reasons to wonder how much longer this clinic is gonna exist. My back pain has also reached the point where a chiropractor is about to touch me on purpose, which feels like an alarming new level of desperation. Plus, hikes…
more -
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...
-
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:...
-
345) The Disturbing Discovery That I Can Go Places
I branched out, explored some new hiking spots, accidentally went on a three-hour hike from hell, and then—disturbingly—kept trying new trails. *** Email: [email protected] Adult Autism 101: angela-walker-s-school.teachable.com/p/adultautism101 Autistic Logic Mini Course:...
-
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. Then I chat about a nasty email I got from someone who didn't like that I referred to the military as a cult and why I stand by my opinion. *** Email: [email protected] Adult Autism...
-
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...
-
342) Cats, Corpses, & Connective Tissue
Today I take attendance, shit on the media, acknowledge (totally respectfully, of course) that people keep kicking the bucket, chat about the cat café I went to, and also my prep for my upcoming new-doc appointment. *** Email: [email protected] Adult Autism 101:...
-
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...
-
340) Aldi, AOC, & American Delusion
The Aldi villain makes a triumphant return, Freedom 250 gets dragged, I make a presidential prediction, and yet I still find time to pack the house for Bella and plan a much-needed escape. Just another completely normal week. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself:...
-
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...
-
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…
more -
337) The Day the Wilderness Fought Back
In this episode: a missed appointment, a successful wife, an unsuccessful attempt to remain physically clean, and the shocking discovery that children will continue wanting to spend time with you if you're nice to them. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself:...
-
336) I Might Put Cat Food on My Face
A cat update, an unexpected shoe store experience, some thoughts on evil greedy people, and why putting cat food on my face is becoming a statistically reasonable option. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Autistic Logic Mini Course:...
-
335) The Audacity Was Locally Sourced
The audacity was fresh, local, and abundant. A spontaneous trip to see the girls, some unexpected shopping, a little road rage, dog-sitting diplomacy, and lingering questions about people who should know better. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq...
-
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...
-
333) The Auntie Industrial Complex
A week of Aldi trips, Dunkin runs, mini golf, dumpster day, homemade lasagna, family mediation, and realizing I somehow crossed the line from Fun Aunt to Trusted Adult without noticing. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Autistic Logic Mini…
more -
332) A Family Crisis, So Naturally I Made It About Me
A family emergency brings everyone together, which is beautiful. What’s less beautiful is me realizing that “helping out” now involves double the kids and half the patience. This episode: empathy vs. mild inconvenience. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself:...
-
331) What's the Point of You?
This won't be for everyone. Someone evil is getting ready to kick the bucket and I'm not sad about it. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Autistic Logic Mini Course:...
-
330) Clown Country, Bacon Body, Dumpster Soul
This week: birthday month, boundary season, and autism turned all the way up. There’s bacon, taxes, trash removal, government rage, inconsistent sleep, and the deep spiritual relief of throwing shit away. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq…
more -
329) Rug Wellbutrin & Other Home Décor Surprises
This week I discuss the dangers of rug medication, having slow thoughts, and retail spaces that feel personal. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Autistic Logic Mini Course:...
-
328) It Shouldn’t Be This Hard to Exist
Me trying to live normally in increasingly stupid conditions. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Autistic Logic Mini Course:...
-
327) No Text, No Tea
Last night’s embarrassment, this morning’s clarity, and why I’m not showing up for tea next week. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Autistic Logic Mini Course:...
-
326) Be Our Guest, Have a Flashback
This episode includes: one awkward dinner, one poorly timed emotional collapse, and a reminder that your nervous system does whatever it wants. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Autistic Logic Mini Course:...
-
325) I Don’t Like Kids, But Pack a Tiny Suitcase
A chaotic little journey through fake maternal instincts, a morally compromised return to bacon, wearing a creepy little mask in public like that was a sane decision, and barfing all the way home with zero lessons learned. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself:...
-
324) Best Feeling Ever: Plans Canceled!
Janice canceled, the cat food changed, and bacon has been removed from active duty. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Autistic Logic Mini Course:...
-
323) I Drove, I Comforted, I Aunted
A little driving, a little emotional support, a little wandering around with snacks and zero real responsibilities. Basically: I showed up, did some light caregiving, and remained committed to being the least essential adult in the room. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to...
-
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...
-
321) Got Rejected by a Dog Yesterday
In this episode, I start things off with some real questions about war and humanity—because sometimes anger turns into curiosity instead of another internet rant. Then we return to our regularly scheduled chaos: pissing out my butt, barfing, sweating like a malfunctioning faucet, discovering (way...
-
320) The Screaming Chapter
It’s month 4 of tapering off Wellbutrin and Prozac—solo, no medical supervision—and the “screaming chapter” has officially opened. Flu-y body weirdness, brutal sleep, outbursts that show up like they pay rent. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq...
-
319) If You Fear Feedback, Just Say That
Nothing dramatic happened. That’s the point. A routine blood draw turned into a social experiment when I asked to leave feedback and everyone assumed it would be negative. What does that say about us? *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Autistic...
-
318) Therapy Ruined My Villain Era
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. I talk about the moment I felt the heat rise, the old script loading, the comeback forming—and the very unglamorous decision to regulate instead. Therapy...
-
317) Government-Issued Free Time
I’m not in the military anymore, but they still managed to waste my time. I chat about the forced movie night BS, pointless PT, and how “mandatory” never really stops being a thing. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Autistic Logic Mini Course:...
-
316) Weirdos to the Front (Again)
I wish more celebrities would use their platform and speak out against the cruelty and injustice occurring in this country. I thought “airplane chicken” meant the sad stuff they serve mid-flight. It doesn’t. Public Journal 9 is finally out — featuring my flop era as a tenant. Janice’s “special”...
-
315) Wait, What Was I Saying?
Talked about Mayim Bialik (for the last time!), a dirty soul in the Beckham family, someone autistic on an episode of Queer Eye, and other stuff I already forgot. You know, another life-changing episode as usual. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself…
more -
314) Is It a Thought or a Red Flag? Let’s Find Out!
A few thoughts, several regrets, and a sprinkle of emotional instability. Let’s see what qualifies as introspection today. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Autistic Logic Mini Course:...
-
313) Public Safety Theater (Musical Number Included)
A musical number about ICE, written without approval, and including rando tangents. This episode covers performative law enforcement, suburban raids, and the soft hands of federal power. Dry mouth provided by mushrooms. Side effects include long-term recognition of bullshit. *** Email:...
-
312) Finally Regulated Enough to Judge Others
I’m back to baseline and immediately annoyed. In this episode: emotional stability, unsolicited conversations, people who listen on double speed, and other reasons I should’ve stayed dysregulated. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Autistic Logic...
-
311) Flushgate: A Psychological Thriller Starring Paper Towels, Poor Decisions, and One Flush Too Few
A psychological thriller disguised as an illusion of normalcy. Nothing is safe. Not even the snacks. *** Email: [email protected] Book - Welcome to Yourself: https://a.co/d/8UroSmq Autistic Logic Mini Course:...
-
310) I Made a Book for You
I finally published my book, Welcome to Yourself: Words for the Late-Discovered Autistic Adult. In this episode, I explain what it is, who it’s for, and why it’s not a guide, a checklist, or a personality overhaul. Just words that make things make more sense. *** Email: [email protected]…

309) The Least Neurotypical Vet Visit on Record
Took our cat to the vet. The vet had a meltdown. I was on the receiving end. It was unexpected, I actually wasn't the one melting down for once, and I was surprisingly understanding....but still cried. A lot! (I'd rate this autistic episode an A + + +) *** Email: [email protected] Autistic...
-
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. It’s unfiltered, unintentionally musical, and probably proof I should...
-
307) Snowscapades
Kind of like my storescapade episodes, but with snow. *** Email: [email protected] Autistic Logic Mini Course:...
-
306) I Landed On My Boob & Other Holiday Updates
Holiday prep gets derailed by stolen candy, geriatric cats, surprise feelings, and a very poorly timed fall. Business as usual. *** Email: [email protected] Autistic Logic Mini Course:...
