Autisticoronapoliticalifragilisticexpialidocious

Just the thoughts and musings of a middle-aged, aspiring Buddhist, late-diagnosed autistic female genius. You will probably not agree with me, but at least I will make you THINK. The only comments I take are high praise or gently constructive criticism. All others will be duly ignored.

Urban vs Rural, or Proof That We Live Too Fast

On 05/25/202105/24/2021 By saxgoddess332 Comments

Since autism and neurodiversity have become such "hot topics" in the culture lately, some very interesting wisdom has come to me. One thing is that ever since I moved to the city, when I graduated college essentially, I have spent inordinate amounts of time and energy just trying to exist, transport myself to work and …

On Being an Irritant

On 05/21/202105/25/2021 By saxgoddess334 Comments

Playing "Devil's advocate" is a skill that not everyone appreciates. It is definitely a skill that, when employed, makes some people uncomfortable. If you are someone who tends to challenge others, buck the status quo, question everything or constantly looks for opportunities for improvement, you are an irritant. A fly in the ointment. Assuming your …

Superpowers

On 05/18/202105/17/2021 By saxgoddess33Leave a comment

One of my favorite things about being autistic is that I actually love and respect what my brain has the capacity to do, when I am operating at my best. I am able to consume audio spoken word at 1.7x speed, at a minimum. I can actively listen to, and participate in, two conversations at …

Becoming Unstuck

On 05/14/202105/14/2021 By saxgoddess33Leave a comment

I don't think its a huge secret that I have felt pretty stuck for a long time, like years. There is not a really clear reason why this is. Part of it is overwhelm, laziness, inertia, but a good part of it is external as well. When the pandemic happened, I was relatively emotionally prepared …

The REAL Return of Spring

On 05/11/2021 By saxgoddess33Leave a comment

Here in the Pacific Northwest (USA), we have had one heckuva winter and spring. In a normal year, we would be starting to see daffodils pop up out of the ground right around my birthday in mid-February, a fact that always boggled the minds of my grandparents in Chicago when they were alive. 2021, however, …

More Freeing Advice

On 05/07/202105/06/2021 By saxgoddess33Leave a comment

I mentioned in a post quite a while ago about how I gleaned some amazing advice from a male journalist/podcaster in the past. Specifically, it was about the beginning of his career in blogging, and realizing that 90% of what he wrote in the beginning was complete garbage. And he published those pieces anyway. This …

How Much Does a Bath Cost?

On 05/04/202105/03/2021 By saxgoddess33Leave a comment

As previously mentioned, I am on vacation this week. So far, activities have included sleeping in, getting a sunburn on the deck while having morning coffee, playing multiple games of cribbage and Rummikub with dear husband, paddling in the kayaks for a short time and MAYBE seeing a pinniped of some sort in the water, …
