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.

Focus Word for 2023

On 01/04/202301/04/2023 By saxgoddess33Leave a comment

As the new year is now upon us and the days start to get noticeably longer (I walked the dogs until nearly 5pm this afternoon and twilight hung around until we arrived home), it is time to start moving around and seeing how the new year feels. Not unlike trying on a new favorite outfit, …

Damar Hamlin

On 01/03/202301/03/2023 By saxgoddess33Leave a comment

I am not a big pro football fan. And just to be clear, I mean the NFL, the National Football League, rough-and-tumble, smashmouth, American Football. There are many reasons for this, but mostly I just didn't really grow up in a huge football household and we didn't really have a "home" team living in Southern …

Resolution. And Incrementalism

On 08/21/202208/21/2022 By saxgoddess33Leave a comment

I know in my previous post, I teased a preview of this post and, well, let's just say this is not the post you've been awaiting. After a day or two, it seems cooler heads have prevailed and the conflict I referred to has been resolved to my satisfaction. Posting anything further on my part …

Dog Training

On 02/15/2022 By saxgoddess33Leave a comment

Our house has been a whirlwind of excitement for the last 10 days or so. The first weekend of the month, we adopted a second dog from an excellent shelter here in our city. Just about 3 years ago, when my then elderly baby, lab-dachshund mix finally passed away at 14yo, I lasted in a …

What January 6th Means to Me

On 01/07/202201/07/2022 By saxgoddess33Leave a comment

I took the day off yesterday. I wasn't physically ill and wasn't on vacation. I didn't have other plans. I specifically took time to reflect on the state of my country, my government and my society in light of the first anniversary of an event that I consider to be the single most vile and …

The Great Resignation

On 11/16/202111/15/2021 By saxgoddess33Leave a comment

Everyone else is writing on this topic, so why not me too? What do people want to work for? Based on our pre-Covid economic model, it would seem people worked out of necessity, for their survival, to keep a roof over their heads and food on their tables. It was barely working. Many people do …

Generosity, as a Form of Self-Care

On 08/31/202110/07/2021 By saxgoddess33Leave a comment

Over the past year, my husband and I got involved with a local organization focused on food justice in our neighborhood. The two leaders were friends who wanted to do something to make certain the local BIPOC community were set up with food to sustain themselves when the lock down was keeping some people from …

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 …

The Best Advice I Ever Heard

On 02/05/202102/05/2021 By saxgoddess33Leave a comment

There are definitely times I have struggled over the last year to keep writing. I am consistently plagued by voices in my head saying that I'm not contributing to society as I said I wanted to, or that there are so many people already writing more eloquently about autism, or simply that blogging is so …

Good Deeds, Self-Promotion and Autism

On 11/13/202011/12/2020 By saxgoddess331 Comment

I had a very specific experience the other night that I would like to share with y'all. Normally, it would not occur to me to talk about myself in this way, but I'm trying to learn and grow through this pandemic so I'm trying it out. Through this post, I would like to explain some …
