Not sure where to start?

Welcome! If this is your first visit, you don't have to read everything in order. Whether you're newly diagnosed, wondering if you're autistic, supporting someone who is, or simply enjoy stories about navigating life a little differently, here are a few places to begin.

If you're new to autism...

Start with these articles that explain common autistic experiences:

• There's No Such Thing as "Mild" Autism — My Spectrum Wheel is Doing 90 in a School Zone
• Another Year, Another Diagnosis
• Autism Acceptance Month: A Guide to Saying the Wrong Thing (Featuring Me)

If you're wondering whether or not you might be autistic...

Take this completely unproven assessment:

• Are You Autistic? I Made a Completely Unscienctific Test.

If you're feeling exhausted...

If you're wondering why life feels harder than it seems to for everyone else, these might resonate:

• Solitary Confinement is not a Wellness Retreat
• The Year I Quit my Day Job and Accidentally Learned About my Nervous System (and Shame)
• Perimenopause: When Decades of Masking Stopped Working

If you came for the humour...

Sometimes the awkward parts of life are easier to understand when we can laugh at them.

• Death and Other Super Chill Stuff
• Blessed be The Buffer Buddy
• Driving:  A High-Speed Sensory Dodgeball Game

If you're interested in health...

Many autistic people experience more than just autism. These posts explore the overlap between neurodivergence, chronic illness, hormones, and everyday wellbeing.

• Another Year, Another Diagnosis
• Burnt Out, Inflamed, and Fabulous
• Autism and Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

No matter where you start, I hope you find something that makes you laugh, feel seen, or finally put words to an experience you've never been able to explain.

Thanks for being here.
