Late Diagnosed Film Club
Films that resonate specifically because of my experience as a late-diagnosed autistic.

I've started a @letterboxd.social list of films that resonated with me as a late-diagnosed #autistic. None of them are about autism, but some aspects speak eloquently about the autistic experience. I hope to write about these in more detail if the autistic energy gods permit it.

I visited Minneapolis for the first time this year. Watched my daughter in a band competition and absolutely fell in love with the city. Chicago remains my first love, but Minneapolis felt like a place I could live. My heart is with the city today.
Fuck ICE.

As I try to unpack my place in social spaces as an autistic person, my current math says if you did not consider that something you planned would make me uncomfortable, I get to regulate myself by roasting you and your plans mercilessly with no expiration date.
