I know the Matrix franchise is a metaphor for coming out as trans, but lately I realize that it also feels like a good metaphor for life before and after #LateDx of #Autism

…the knowing your whole life something was missing, but not knowing what, the aha moment after finally realizing

I really appreciated this blog post from Neurodivergent Rebel (Lyric Rivera) on how autistic traits can seem more pronounced post-discovery. This is something I'm grappling with as I try to figure out what I want from my life moving forward. Sharing for any others who are in the same place. #ActuallyAutistic #LateDX #LateIdentified #neurodivergent

@servelan @simid @actuallyautistic
"brain trying to process everything" serves me
when I 'read poetry' or
have enough leisure to grok 'ALL the contexts'. 《 wink 》

sometimes, though it serves me better
to pay attention just one or two contexts

when I drive my old car, it serves me better to focus on the road
even with that aspiration, I still miss many turn offs.
shucks ... but not to worry ...
getting lost can become a dandy detour
