Walks and Social Scripts
I’m finding I’m relaxing more during these walks. Taking in the air and appreciating the quietness between the roads. It’s nice to see a few dogs too. One thing I have noticed with my mind that I am able to articulate now is a sense of social panic and continued preparation. My mind often conjures…

Walking Thoughts
Just came back from a long walk. Felt very sluggish this morning. Once again it’s the medication but not as bad as it was. Though I get a lot less agitated than I used which is nice. I feel like I could settle with a little life like this if things remain as they are.…

I have found another episode called ‘Darmok’ that strongly related to my own challenges and experiences of Autism. This is a 14-part thread and please Boost if you enjoy reading. In this episode as described on…
