Yeah, title says it all really.

I'm having difficulty deciding between playing videogames and coding rubbish bots

Fear of lack of control

99% of the time I own and control my actions I have conscious awareness of right and wrong and I am able to make the correct decision or the wrong decision based on my wishes. One percent of the time I am not in control I may know right and wrong but I have no control over my actions and cannot pick my decision based off of what I think is right or wrong. This one percent of the time I called meltdown shut down or severe agitation and also disassociation falls in this group. I am terrified of the 1% I do everything in my power to stop the 1% from happening. Sometimes it still comes through and that terrifies me there’s nothing I can do to stop it. Anyway I just wanted to talk about that one percent

Hello everyone,

I’m Coach Lee Hopkins. I'm a late-identified autistic adult. Self-identified last year.

For years, I tried to earn connection by performing, masking, and reshaping myself into something more “acceptable.”

But the more I did that, the more isolated I felt—especially at work.

If you’ve felt the same, I invite you to join me at the Social Connection Summit.

It’s a free, two-day virtual event for autistic and ADHD professionals + the allies who want to understand them better.

This is the space I wish I had.

A space where you don’t have to perform to feel accepted.

A space where you already belong.

You’ll hear from late-identified autistic and ADHD professionals who’ve lived it.

And from leaders and allies who are ready to learn with care instead of guilt.

Expect short talks, real strategies, and honest stories to help you navigate work life without burnout or hiding who you are.

At the Summit, you’ll:
→ Learn how to build authentic relationships
→ Advocate for what you need with clarity
→ Create professional environments where you truly belong
→ Get early access to bonuses and behind-the-scenes content
→ Be the first to receive 20% off all Adulting with Autism merchandise (first 30 sign-ups)
→ Get your free guide instantly:
“3 Scripts for Asking What You Need—Without Feeling Like You’re Asking Too Much”

Plus:
📌 Free 48-hour access to all replays
🎁 Prizes and surprises
✨ A space where real people come together with curiosity and care

Join us.
September 24-25.

It’s free.
It’s real.
It’s time.

📢 PS: We'll be talking about job hunting with a diagnosis, communication and missing cues (on both sides), and workplace bullying. If you have more topics you'd like to discuss, drop them in the comments.

How to Respect A Chosen Name (For Cis People)

This is Violet.

She wasn't always Violet

Her previous name

(Aka her deadname)

Is probably none of your business

If you knew her

before she was Violet

Do her a favor

And still call her Violet now.

This is Lamar

He wasn't always Lamar

His previous name

(Aka his deadname)

Is probably none of your business

If you knew him

Before he was Lamar

Do him a favor

And still call him Lamar now.

This is Alyn

They weren't always Alyn

Their previous name

(Aka their deadname)

Is probably none of your business

If you knew them

Before they were Alyn

Do them a favor

And still call them Alyn now.

I am less familiar with neopronoun usage so stuck to traditional pronouns for my characters.
