Good Morning and Happy Friday, World!!! It is a yucky rainy day here in Seattle. It’s even yucky for Seattle standards. As much as I am not liking this yucky weather, I do my best to keep in mind that today’s weather has me appreciate summer weather even more than I did when I lived in California.

As far as my new job goes, I am still loving it. It’s hard to believe that I have been at my new job for almost eight months. The team I am on is absolutely amazing. I am beyond grateful to be on such a great team with awesome people. I also love the fact that I get to help people with their recovery.

Now on to next update in my life. This past summer when I was talking to with my therapist in therapy, the topic of Autism got brought up due to what a doctor told me when I was in the emergency room. My therapist agreed with doctor that there is the possibility of autism and appreciated the fact that the doctor explained to me the meds they were giving was going to be a small dose as people with autism and ADHD tend to be super sensitive to certain meds. I appreciated that. Anyway, my therapist suggested that I read the book “Unmasking Autism” by Devon Price. I bought the book when she suggested it, and I am just now starting to read it. Anyway, fast forward to this past Wednesday, I saw my therapist for therapy, and I finally asked her for the first time (months after the first conversation) if she thought I am autistic and why. She said that she does think I’m autistic for various reasons such as my communication style and other things she mentioned such as the subtle stimming I do that nobody really notices as it is “not the typical stimming.” I appreciate my therapist being honest with me and allowing me to bring it up in my own time as she doesn’t like to bring up possible autism to folks due to how most people react. I personally wish she would have just told me but I’m glad she allowed me the space to bring it up in my own time. As far as testing goes, it is still several conversations to be had if I want to get tested. My therapist is happy that bought and reading the book she suggested which is “Unmasking Autism” by Devon Price. She is encouraging me to read it slowly with intention to learn.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except to say it is now time to cuddle with my cat, Billie. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!
