Cambria's Big Fat Autistic Blog

Well, color me not surprised. Considering the fact that the Health Secretary said I could never throw a baseball, or go to the bathroom unassisted, or (paraphrasing) be anything but a burden on society…. they will do anything to promote their eugenical platform. Even tell pregnant women (most of them, anyway) to stop taking Tylenol. I’m serious. The man is now blaming acetaminophen for the cause…

You are NOT going to put me on a list – voluntarily, anyway. I know how it ends – in the grave. You think I’m paranoid? That’s what most Jews thought in the 1930s and 1940s. That’s what most of the 20 million who died in the Holocaust thought. Remember “Schindler’s List?” Please, for all that is right and good, remember “Schindler’s List!” The Jews were never given the details of their…

I know it’s been a while. Years, even. But guess what? I am personally being attacked, just as much as any other autistic person. I need to make a stand. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated some outright LIES concerning autistic people. One of these lies is that autism is a “preventable disease” by some mysterious “environ-mental toxin.” (He probably still thinks it’s vaccines.) Robert F. Kennedy Jr.…

I have been having trouble getting my account back. Every time I get to the webpage, mobile page, or app, it sends me back to the old phone number that I have on file, because it’s a Two Factor setup. The trouble is, I NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO MY OLD PHONE NUMBER. I am tempted to post the old and new numbers here on the blog in order to get the attention of the guys at Meta in order to get my…

Hi, guys. I know it’s been a while. I thought I would never get back to you and my blog. That’s how powerful my grief has been. I thought it would be a lot of crying, but strangely, it’s not. I wish I would have cried for my mother more. I mean, seriously, she was my mother! But then again, I noticed a very dirty storage and laundry room in my apartment. So far, I have cleared out a mountain of…

I am sorry, guys. Since my mother passed away, I have been quite depressed. Last Sunday was the first time I put on makeup in three months. I mean, I don’t depend on makeup to look good, but it helps. Anyway, it’s time to get back into the swing of things. Who wants to do more than barely function? Not me, anyway. I’m getting back, slowly but surely. I have been doing basic survival things, like…

Just wanted to update you guys on what I have been doing. I’ve been going to church, taking care of my dog and my household, and dealing with a series of crises. It’s weird; life without my mother has been crisis after crisis. The most recent crisis has been bedbugs. We had them last summer, but somehow, they have roared back. I had to get rid of my mattress, box spring, and couch. That seemed…

Okay, maybe I’m getting a little too forward, but I’m not in a good mood. There is a new aversion I want to get rid of, but there is no way I know of. A little background: An aversion is something an autistic person cannot stand, even possibly to the point of physical rejection from the body. Here’s what’s going on: I love coffee. I would drink multiple cups of coffee for the taste. Put a…

I know it’s been a while. I’ve been taking care of a lot of business. First, the bad news. My mother has passed away. She died on a hot Sunday in June. They called me in quick, and I was able to go in and hold her hand as she passed on. Her body was so bruised, and everything was shutting down. The last time I saw her before that, she was too tired to even open her eyes. So, my siblings and I…

Well, let’s see: I am in limbo in planting my annuals here in Kentucky. Those who were born and raised here say to wait until after the Derby of Mother’s Day, so that’s one factor. Also, I am having trouble figuring out what to get my mother for Mother’s Day – if anything. The thing is, the only thing my mother wants me to get her is a trip back home to be with me. Also, there is very little she…

Yes, it’s been a while, guys. I have not been very inspired to write. I’ll tell you what I’ve been up to. I visit my mother twice a month, since I cannot afford all the Uber rides. For the distance I must go, it is literally 35-40 dollars one way. I think I have found a way around it to shave off about ten dollars each way, though. I only get to a spot just inside the city, and take the public…

It is so rare that I have something positive to report about the state of the autistic person. The Centers for Disease Control released a report that there was a rise in autism diagnoses. The new ratio is 1 autistic in 36 children. This seems to be more in line with the high rates in New Jersey that I reported on earlier in time. Here is the article:…

I have been busy transitioning from a comfortable income to a level of poverty. I went from roughly $3000 in monthly funds for two people, to $1275. I’m still recovering from the overdrafts of last month. (Do NOT deal with Rocket Money unless you can afford a hefty payment for the month.) Anyway, I’ve got some big changes to the system of the food purchases I need. Apparently, over $1200 in…

You guys are going to hate me. You know how they say in southern California that the best part of winter is watching the snow from California? Unfortunately, the script has kind of flipped. The worst part of winter this year in Kentucky, is watching the weather from hot and sunny Kentucky. Granted, the hot days are just about over for now, but I wore shorts today. Normally, that is a southern…

When the Teen Week contestants on a game show look like cutie pies, you’re old.

Here’s the thing: I was trying to save some money by consulting Rocket Money for my cable bill, and I got overdrawn 175 dollars. Here’s the story: I’m trying to set up a payment plan to take care of the savings negotiation fee (half of the profits, in case you were wondering). But the channel I went through did not even complete the financing plan. See, the program did not finish because the…

DISCLAIMER: I am not saying the gun is a god. I’m saying the gun is worshipped like a god. I only give the “God” a capital letter in the title to follow grammatical rules. I am not being silly. There is or has just been a mass shooting in El Paso at the Cielo Vista Mall. Just one building away from another mass shooting three years ago. I’m getting a terrible reality emerging from all these…
