I'm baa-ack! Hopefully. Work and life have just been a thing since earlier this year and I'm learning how to juggle everything again. I do have a new co-host who is also one of my significant others @fierblade. In this episode we're just trying to get back into the swing of things but we talk about famous Autistic people, the blue jack-o-lantern buckets that are back for the spooky season, and some other Autistic non-profit communities out there! We also talk about learning to love and accept yourself for who you are as you learn who you are.

Today Em, host of the podcast The Phoenix Cast came and talked with me a bit about ADHD and how it can even relate to Autism. We had to cut this episode a bit short, but they will be back for another episode talking about their own life hacks that they use with ADHD!

Well, it's that time of year again. Another year has come and gone to this particular noisy and awful month (sound-wise at least). Today I talk a bit about the history of Independence day and learned that silent fireworks actually do exist and they're just as expensive as the regular loud ones that traumatize people and animals this time of year. It was fun actually learning more about the history surrounding this day/event and maybe by next year (though I won't hold my breath) there will be more sensory-friendly fireworks popping about!
Have a wonderful holiday, stay safe, have a wonderful existence & see you later!

Hey everyone, I learned about an amazing school just for Autism! Today I met with Adam who is a teacher at Tettenhall Wood School in the UK and we learned a bit about each other and what we do! It was amazing to have him here on the podcast (I want to say show haha) and I would love to have him back on again at some point in the future! Down below are links to the TWS Sports Podcast Instagram, their podcast page, and a link to the school that Adam works at!
Have a wonderful existence, love you all!

Hi everyone, yeah I know what I said last time, where it's easier to find virtual work... I lied haha, no I didn't lie, I was just misinformed? I didn't lie, the work is out there, but it's extremely hard to find.
Today I talked about the different places and things I heard about that can help with working online and I also talked a bit about the balance testing I went through last week. I hope all of you are doing well and I love you all very much! Have a wonderful existence!

I was a guest on the podcast Imprinted Stories earlier this week on Wednesday and I had an amazing time talking to Lisa about a whole bunch of different things while telling her about some scars I have on my arm.
If you want to check out her podcast, you can find her here: Imprinted Stories
Gabriella discusses the scars she's left on her arm; however, our conversation really delves into religion, questioning your own belief systems, and autism. To listen to Gabriella's Podcast, Actively Autistic: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/actively-autistic/id1498395366
Hi everyone! In this episode, I think the title speaks really well for itself. I talk about my family experiences and how I've learned recently that blood isn't always thicker than water. I made this episode because I wasn't sure who else needed to hear it.
Remember, you can always make your own family.
Hey everyone! In today's episode, I met someone new and exciting! Her name is Alexandra (Alex) Guillot and she is the author of her brand new book Invisible Conversations (releasing soon!). Today we talked about the struggles of having an invisible disability and tearing down these walls that have so far been holding us back, teaching us to advocate for ourselves in a personal, academic, and professional setting. I'm really glad to have met her and I can't wait to get ahold of her book! Definitely go check her out.

Hey everyone, sorry this Autism Acceptance Month hasn't been as attended to as last year. But today, I got to meet and talk with an amazing person named Paint. We talked about his past, the negligence of "specialists" and how he's been embracing being Autistic as of late and accepting who he is.
Paint has an amazing website that I highly suggest checking out (it's beautiful).
Check out the website and see the amazing art Paint creates!
Hello everyone! Long time no see, I'm happy to be back for the month of April. I'm still struggling with my concussion, but for the month of April I want to do something special.

In this episode, I talk about Autism Acceptance month and what it is. Happy Autism Acceptance Month everyone!
I love you all, have a wonderful existence

Today on my podcast, I have the amazing Carl Parker as a guest speaker. This episode is different than any other episode I've done with special guests and I feel like this was more real than anything I've done in the past.

I highly recommend his book, and I highly recommend taking a look at his paintings!
