[011] - Am I Happy? Am I Sad? Let's Talk About Alexithymia! YouTube video by TheAutisticBrood

In my #autism assessment, the psychologist asked me what made me "joyful". I stopped and thought about it, realizing in that moment that I didn't know what "joy" meant.

Let's talk a bit about #alexithymia today!

People still leave comments on my Courtney Mermaid YouTube channel and it seems like no matter how many posts I make I can't get through to the people who still want to see my content. I'm not on Courtney Mermaid anymore, I'm now here: www.youtube.com/@VancouverMe...

Us #autistic people can certainly struggle figuring out when someone is a friend or just an acquaintenance. But what happens when that uncertainty becomes an anxious search for an answer? Let's talk about #limerance today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkxp...

Sometimes sound is overstimulating. Sometimes you just need to scream dance in the car or wearing your headphones somewhere, and THIS is the song to do it to: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z1u...

I know the pain so well! Recording, editing, and storing Karate workouts is always a hassle.

To expand further on what I was saying earlier, seems to me so many get left in the dark when it comes to autism in adulthood because you're an adult.

It's absolutely ridiculous when you think about it. It's the view of you're an adult so you can do these things now yourself, without any help.

My chickie-chickies were being all screechy this morning, so I gave them a screech back and they all went quiet and stared at me.
