  For some reason I’m not getting email notifications when people reply to my posts.

  I plan on starting a blog series on ABA & plan on having my first post up today: (should’ve been the day before yester’) ABA is pretty bad.

    You mention time constraints, not meeting your own expectations, feeling rushed or under pressure often.

    Yeah, I guess I have issues with time keeping and the like, or maybe it’s just ongoing guilt over wasting so much of my teenage and adult life in the past. Either way, I have indeed finished my draft, I’ll be proof-reading and uploading it later this afternoon.

  I’ll be starting a Rosary Novena for the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary; in which, I’ll pray for Autistic intentions like Autism Awareness.

  This weekend turned out to be quite rough, next week is going to be very busy too but hopefully it’ll at the very least, be more rewarding.

  I’m starting to realize how frustrating it is to promote Autism Awareness, I had no idea how much people don’t even seem to notice you.

    Sounds cool
    As for promoting autistic people--I dn't know; haven't thought it through. But we need to be seen as more than helpless, that's for sure. Lots f people don't even want to remember we exist, seems like. I get "but you don't look autistic" a lot--It's like in the public mind, we have Schroedinger's Autistic. Blends in but looks distinctive, is helpless with the burden of genius, etc.

    I see, I actually plan on commissioning two comics after my first Autistic Girl Autumn Commision; from the same artist. That might help in getting the message across.

  I just came across an NT who posted his ignorance for Autism & had to reply; it looks like my Autism Advocacy Campaign is starting early.

    Oh wow, I'd like to see the whole argument, mainly for research purposes.
    
    This may not be a NT person, necessarily. Someone who is autisitc & convinced of his neurotypciality will force the whole world into the boxes of his disorder. How do I know? That was me once.

    "....Autism was either the result of our parents no hugging us enough as kids, or a giant medical scam." Oh I see. Ignorant/uninformed.

    Sounds like Bruno Bettelheim and his "refrigerator mother" nonsense that was popular in the 70s. Bettelheim seemed to be extremely Freudian in his approach, believing that parental behavior caused mental issues in offspring.

  Things seem to going forward now, the artist accepted my commission and says he’ll have the sketches ready by next week.

  Hoping to get my first Autistic meme up today; as well as commission an artist for a more high-quality meme for Autistic Girl Autumn.

  Apparently making YouTube videos is a bit more tricky than I thought. Hopefully I’ll finally have my first YouTube video up by Monday.

    No good this time, an old employee came back and filled-in the position. They did take my resumé though, so you never know…

  My projects for Autism Acceptance are off to slow start, I guess part of it is nerves, I’ve got to overcome the anxiety of speaking out.
