Long day on the road driving through Quebec. Stopped at a travel stop in Woodstock, New Brunswick for the night.

Tomorrow is the last leg of our journey to #NovaScotia

#ActuallyAutistic observation of the day:

Interacting with NTs at work and they're asking me to review a list of "modules" we could sell, and it's just a random arbitrary list of features from our site.

And the whole time I can't stop thinking "ok but what do you even mean by module? how do you deliver said modules?"

Then when I ask, they don't know. They just made up the word because ?reasons

I can't get over how the #ActuallyAutistic community makes me feel.

I feel like I've come home to a family I never knew. A family that is way more like a family than the one I grew up with.

Thanks everyone for reaching out and responding to my barrage of self-discovery posts over the last couple of weeks. I appreciate it so much 💚🙏

Recognizing that I'm #ActuallyAutistic has totally changed the way I interpret my life and my surroundings.

We're on the road today and my wife is driving. The music is blasting, there's tons of bumps on the road, the dog keeps pushing around at my feet, my coworkers are asking me tons of questions on Slack, and my brain is just like AAAAHHHHH

Right. That's overstimulation. It's okay to feel that, and now I know how to handle it with kindness for myself.

Had a good talk with my wife this morning about being #ActuallyAutistic. She was supportive, said if I feel strongly about it and it helps me understand myself, that's great.

She didn't like the idea of me self-diagnosing ADHD and going to "some random internet site" to get an assessment (the clinic I'm going to was recommended by a doctor)

She also didn't want me getting stressed out or worried about being autistic. I told her it's the opposite: I feel relief and peace and belonging.

Stoked to be on the road again tomorrow. We've been at my in-laws cottage for over a month. It felt like coming home, but not really in a good way.

Headed out to #NovaScotia for a couple of weeks, before we come back to #Ontario to boondock in the remote north for September.

Then it's back to Vegas in October.

Apparently I've started something.

After doing the AQ test with some family members last night, my stepson's fiancee went down a rabbit hole last night and has an inkling that she might be autistic.

I'm actually not surprised at all. Once I better understood autism, I could see some traits in her
