The Autistic Me has been silent for much of 2019 because so many things are happening (mainly good things) that I don\u2019t believe are appropriate to share until those things are finalized.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve been parents since October 2015. It became official this year, when the adoption of our daughters was finalized. There were many things that happened along this journey that don\u2019t belong in a blog or podcast without the eventual consent of our daughters. General parenting issues seem appropriate to me, but not the particulars of our experiences.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m waiting for some career news and family news to resolve. Until we know certain milestones are reached, I don\u2019t want to share what might not happen. When things are more firmly situated, I\u2019ll be sharing as appropriate.<\/p>\n
The foster-adopt process consumed so much time outside my already overloaded teaching schedule that I had to set aside my blogs and podcast for sanity. Trying to blog about \u201canything\u201d when I was preoccupied wasn\u2019t working well.<\/p>\n
My mind doesn\u2019t deal well with stress, and neither does my body. That\u2019s not autism \u2014 that\u2019s being human.<\/p>\n
I want to discuss everything that might help other people, including why I was stressed and how I am (not) dealing with stress.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s little chance I\u2019ll be able post regularly and confidently until late June or early July. Right now, I\u2019m hopeful that I can then post one great news blog entry after another. That would be a nice change.<\/p>\n
