A Little Autistic
The yard was a huge piece of property with a forest out back (or at least a few dozen trees). We had a barn and a horse (really a very small pony, but I didn’t know that then) named Romeo, because he liked to roam—often ending up out of the fenced pasture and out on the street. We had chickens, as well, in a coop by the barn up at the edge of the forest. Mostly, I remember climbing the trees and hanging upside down from branches until my head hurt, then climbing higher and going upside down again. As an autist, much of life now feels like seeing the world from upside down, so I guess it was good practice.
Divergent Mind: Thriving in a World That Wasn't Designed for You
A paradigm-shifting study of neurodivergent women—those with ADHD, autism, synesthesia, high sensitivity, and sensory processing disorder—exploring why these traits are overlooked in women and how society benefits from allowing their unique strengths to flourish. As a successful Harvard and Berkeley-educated writer, entrepreneur, and devoted mother, Jenara Nerenberg was shocked to discover that her “symptoms”--only ever labeled as anxiety-- were considered autistic and ADHD. Being a journalist, she dove into the research and uncovered neurodiversity—a framework that moves away from pathologizing “abnormal” versus “normal” brains and instead recognizes the vast diversity of our mental makeups.

It's only been several months since this realization, and during that time she's been down the research rabbit hole, trying to better understand herself.

Crisis in the Comfort Zone: An Autistic Adult's Sensory Stuff
Sensory issues are common among autistics, who experience hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity to sensory input such as touch, sound, taste, smell, and visual stimuli. For example, some people may find it challenging to filter out background noises, while others may have difficulty processing social cues. Sensory issues can significantly impact a person's daily life. In her fourth public journal, Autistic Ang shares her experiences with sensory sensitivity. This journal does not impart strategies, just relatable stories so late-diagnosed autistics don't feel so alone. Meet Autistic Ang, who found out a week before her 39th birthday that she's autistic. It's only been several months since this realization, and during that time she's been down the research rabbit hole, trying to better understand herself.
