Hi! And Welcome to my brand new page! I am leo and slowly I plan to build a safe space here for anyone who is Autistic or would like to learn about Autism. I will moderate and as long as conversations are civil they will be allowed to stay! Stay tuned more on the way! :)

"No one cares" a sentiment i see often. For example if i said i had a cure for something the sentiment would be "yeah right stop lying" if i offer help the sentiment is "stop it your not health professional" when your new its hard to break through to people. And often "no one cares" it is what it is

I write about different topics because it's a way of showing that Autistic people have different interests. Showing lived experiences. Etc.
The point of this page is to show anyone reading an example of how someone autistic functions and thinks and processes things.

#authors #editors I can see why editors charge so much for their time. Writing and editing is a big task.
Im up to 2100 words on the book im writing and realized how taking a simple idea and writing it out is actually more difficult than i thought.
You have to write everything.. lol

#musicsky learning to use the Akai music pad. Programing it with different sounds and trying to create my own music.
Production has always been a dream of mine. But its intimidating as heck. Learning how to use a DAW and instruments is a big task. Will take time. But ill get there. 👍

Someone today said to me #autism is an excuse.
I said i know a community of millions who will loudly tell you how wrong you are. Make your ears hurt at how loud they are speaking as one!
He said everyone is a little Autistic. I said keep being ignorant and offensive. Shows you know nothing! 👍

What would it take to cause #Autism to trend not just here... everywhere?
I ask because half of the worked does not care at the slightest.
And those that do not care will go out of their way to make sure you know that no matter what they'll never care about Autism.
You know someone like that?

#question
Did you know that the first version of the Pfizer vaccine (according to new research) causes Edema? And further research had shown links to this contributing to lymphedema of the legs?
This could be the reason I myself am suffering from sever lymphedema. Im investigating this.

A leader is #selfless and not selfish. Their actions are not about them or for them. They are considering actions for everyone as a group.
A leader considers compromise. And considers options they don't fully agree with but know it's the best option to benefit everyone.

A true #leader leads from behind. They sees the entire group they are in charge of and guide them. They are looking forward.
A boss is looking backwards and cracking the whip. Bossing people around and dictating what to do.
You don't want a boss. You want a true leader! 👍

#musicsky System of a down used to be an amazing heavy metal band.
Their music had an element of power and drive. The kind of music you use in gym playlists because it got your blood pumping and you feeling great.
They where part of the 90's. An era of music i miss so much.

#musicsky Anna Nalick has a chorus line that we should all remember "Just Breath"
The 90's era of music just had a completely different vibe and meaning to it!
This is why when a 90's song plays it just hits so right! Feels so good and transcends me out of this F'ed up reality we live in. 😁

#endofyear is supposed to be fun and festive. For me it's overwhelming.
When i lived in Florida closed to a pier i would escape there in new years. Just sit at the end at night looking at stars and hearing the ocean.
Ahhh, so relaxing! My happy place. I miss it.

Bluesky friends. Hope your enjoying the holidays. Im struggling..😣
But this is normal for me, end of year has too much happening and its always too overwhelming.
Part of the struggle is my #autism. And the other part is just the weight of it all.
Do you feel it too? Or am i alone on this one?

The hotter this forecast gets the deeper my sadness gets 😢.
It's related to my own #autistic traits i have. Temperature deregulation. I hate it.
And usually when the cold weather usually brings seasonal depression im reverse. Summer time brings me seasonal depression.

83 degrees forecasted for my area tomorrow. And some places to the south of me reaching as high as 90 degrees. High records being broken.
All that to say Christmas does not feel anywhere close to Christmas this year. Feels more like spring or summer in December.
