New diagnosis as an adult.
My current focus is trying to find a place of solitude that is safe. I like high places, and I like to climb.
Ironically, the build has burnt me the heck out. Now I need it to recover. LoL #audhd#autistic#adhd#coping#solitude#safety

Blog post: Rachel Cohen's "A Chance Meeting: American Encounters" is a wonderful book offering vignettes of meetings between individuals who helped to shape American culture. Mark Twain and Willa Cather, William James and Gertrude Stein, and others. The conversations are interesting in themselves; they also have me thinking about how encounters with people and books have shaped the person I've become.
