Each day, I pour my heart into my work... to be a voice in our autism journey. Basically, cuz I gotta. That's special interests for ya...
But now, I’ve hit a snag.
Our car, my lifeline in this rural Owensburg, is crying for help.
We were so fortunate... family members Zach & Sky GAVE us the van. Our Odyssey's absolutely neccessary to survive. At least in the country village we chose to support my autistic sensory need.
But we're facing brakes & tires. Which ain't cheap. I’m staring down a $500 bill.
Plus Christmas is coming for the family. Kimmie has 7 extraordinary kids. And then there's the 17 grandkids showing more and more signs of extraordinary every day...
If you've found a friend in my words, consider lending a hand. It’s more than just money; it’s keeping our dream of an autistic community alive.
You guys make MY dreams come true. Every day. In my freaking 70s.
It's my raw hope, I help make one or two come true for you by sharing my lived experience.
I’m forever grateful for your past support. Together, we're more than just a community; we're a family.
With your help, we can continue this amazing journey. Thanks for being the stars in my night sky.
Big shoutout to EVERYBODY for always being there. And making AutisticAF Out Loud a reality!

The title "Autistic Galaxy" adds a layer of meaning to the image, emphasizing the rich and intricate inner universe often experienced by individuals on the autism spectrum. The cosmic scene within the silhouette suggests the depth and vastness of the autistic mind, filled with unique patterns of thought and perception. The intermingling of celestial bodies and mechanical elements could symbolize the structured yet expansive nature of autistic cognition, where logic and imagination coexist in harmony. The flow of ideas and thoughts might be represented by the comet-like streams, illustrating the dynamic and continuous movement of an autistic individual's internal universe. This image could be seen as a celebration of the diversity and complexity of the autistic experience, encapsulating the beauty of a perspective that encompasses both the analytical and the creative.

The nice thing about digital art is it never has to be finished. On this one I got too deep into the image. There's a lot going on you can't see cuz the midtones are too dark...
The non-gendered warrior SHOULD be creating themself (to coin language) out of and battling dark chaos, a bright spark headed toward a dim light... they never know if there's a goal...

To me, Theo's voice sounded computer-generated. For the most part, yours didn't; there were two or three places where the cadence and the intonation sounded off to me, but that may be a transpondian thing.
The intonation in your voice was exaggerated, as if every single statement was the most extraordinary thing anyone had ever heard. I'd tone it down -- make it less like a circus ringmaster and more like a lively but comfortable conversation between friends. And go easy on the reverb. It's like compression: when used well, it makes sound easier and smoother to listen to without ever becoming noticeable.
You did ask for honest feedback. 🙂 I hope this is useful.

The Night this Autistic Adult Broke Free: An #AutisticAF Halloween Tale 🎃
I was home. Freaks, geeks, punks & junkies. Turns out the jocks were right back in jr. high. I was weird. And these were my peeps. AND I was fucking tired of dreaming it…

"The night I stopped being a meditation teacher.
The night I made the first crack in my autistic mask.
The night… I took the first step… of a 38-year journey…
To grow up.
And become fully #autisticaf dot me..."
I believe the audio files are fixed. If you have time, my friend, I'm trying to discover if the narrator voice only with effects is a better choice for folks with or without auditory processing difficulties.
