You know what? I'm going to take this post to self-congratulate myself. Brag a bit. Because, I am so goddamn proud of myself. Right now, I am burnt out as fuck.

Let’s Get Physical!
I've talked a little bit about the emotional side of burnout, but there is a physical side as well that I wanted to touch on. Burnout shuts down my entire body. I can't move or speak.

Different, Not Disabled
I have decided to change my way of thinking and my vocabulary. I am officially taking the word “disability” out of my life. Being autistic doesn’t mean I’m disabled. Instead, I propose a theory that the world and our society have been set up in a way that disables me. Here’s an example. Let’s say… Continue reading Different, Not Disabled
