This came about after my nephew, at 17, was finally diagnosed as Autistic after years and years of his Mom going to various government therapists and agencies to try and find out why her son had obvious difficulties in various aspects of life. Now, almost legally an adult, they get a diagnosis and ha e to start a long process of learning about his Autism and work with him so he can have a better life experience and recognize his difficulties and strengths and work to give him the best life possible.

Yesterday, it seemed like no matter what I did, I was the bad guy. I was assaulted by people I considered friends for a post on Facebook about adopting pets rather than buying them. I suspected tat they were into the whole puppy mill thing, but didn't really want to know for the sake of our friendship, but they decided that my post was aimed at them or offensive to them somehow and decided to not only attack me, but to sarcasticaly joke about the fact that they were into the breeding of dogs for profit. My wife said I was over reacting and wouldn't listen to what I had to say and then my day was just downhill. I had to record this to try and get it out of my system, but I ended up recording a meltdown. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peelingbackthemask/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peelingbackthemask/support

In this episode I talk about how my life was, how I felt, what I thought when I was younger and growing up and how my diagnosis changed my life, my self-esteem, confidence and how it changed my understanding not only of my past, but my outlook on life and how I tackle issues now. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peelingbackthemask/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peelingbackthemask/support

In this episode I talk about the hypocrisy surrounding what is happening in the Ukraine right now and the history behind the conflict that the main stream media won't report, hasn't reported and doesn't want you to know. The information is easily found online for those who wish to inform themselves instead of listening to the media source that we all know manipulate the information we receive in order to fit the narrative they choose to follow. I also talk about coddling ourselves after being diagnosed and the need to create a balance between having a productive and active life and maintaining the necessary self care to keep us mentally and emotionally healthy. And lastly, I talk about something that can be far more dangerous for us than the strong and obvious issues we face, and those are the subtle ones that come and go quickly, leaving us somewhat confused and irritated and not knowing why.

It's been quite a while since I uploaded an episode and in this one, I explain why. It's been a tough few months and at one point I was starting to doubt my sanity and thoughts of suicide started creeping in. I talk about why and touch on a few things that I think many people, Autistic and Non-Autistic can relate to. Thank you for your patience and for listening!

I have had a little more time on my hands since my wife has been working double shifts and my daughter is at daycare, so, my mind has been churning away. On this episode, I talk about critical thinking and how it seems that we have just given up on it, for the most part, and some of the reasons for it.  **I do express a few opinions that may not be popular, but, whether you agree or not, take a minute to think about it. Trying to see things from another point of view, can help to solidify you own view based on information from both sides, or, maybe, change your view.** For the younger audience, I recommend you watch George Carlin comedy. Even though he passed away in 2008, everything he talks about (apart from being hilarious) is still true today. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peelingbackthemask/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peelingbackthemask/support
