November 5th 2024: Elections and shit
It's been a while since I've updated this website, and I don't really know why I haven't gotten around to it the past few weeks.
Election day's here, and people are voting to decide who gets to be potus. I voted a couple hours ago, but I don't really want to yap about politics. This blog is supposed to be my sanctuary from politics, and despite the fact that I've gone from right-wing to left in the past couple years, I've never really been the hardcore activist type. But regardless, no matter how the election goes, I don't wanna be sober for this shit.
Last week, my new boss told me that he thinks I'm on the spectrum. He wasn't a dick about it, but it's still weird to assume. There have been a few people over the years who thought that I was autistic, so I decided to do some reading on the autism spectrum and the symptoms on adults. Turns out that they might be onto something.
A lot of my behavior seems to align with those on the autism spectrum. That being said, I don't feel comfortable with self-diagnosing myself. I know that finding a psychiatrist who deals with autism in adults is difficult where I live, but self-diagnosing just feels wrong to me. Maybe it's just some weird stigma that I've internalized. My mom also seems to think that she's on the spectrum after researching it too. To be fair, being autistic would explain a lot about our lives.
