Putting it simply, my childhood was pretty crazy, so I spend much of it reading books. Until I was 18 I read only fiction, losing myself in the stories in the books to forget about the ridiculous shit often going on in my own life. A Childhood Filled with Books My earliest memories of my Mom are of her with …
Autism like anarchy is almost a dirty word because of some of the connotations that come with it. It’s true that the societal view of “autism” does not accurately portray the reality for most autistic people. This is something I’ve become aware of sense I delved into this world.

I started my blogging career on Steemit over 3 years ago at this point. It was my way to support myself while telling my story.

As a freelancer, I work for many. Really I’m more or less at a point where I accept 90 percent of jobs I’m offered. But when I was approached by Agorist Nexus after appearing on their podcast last December to write for the blog, I was excited. I now do more things than just writing for them but I thought …

Worldwide people are flocking to their gardens for entertainment and a hedge against possible collapse of the food supply while the world is more or less shut down. If you’ve always wanted …
Last fall, Monarch Butterflies were recorded migrating south in record numbers but in reality that was just an estimate based on satellite images while they travel. The true test of whether or not the Monarchs were arriving in record numbers depends on how much end up at the resting place in the state of Michoacan, Mexico. I’ve lived in Mexico …
Highly Functional originally started as a concept that I used to use to describe myself, specifically my nature to smoke lots of cannabis and get lots of things done.
