PERPETUAL
EPIPHANIES
You know that moment when the lightbulb flicks on - only to realize it’s the same bulb you replaced last month? Welcome to my revolving door of “aha!” insights.
In this corner of Autistic Elle, I unpack the déjà-vu revelations, hard-won lessons, and occasionally spectacular missteps that shape my neuroqueer life in real time. Expect candid stories, gentle face-palms, and the kind of wry wisdom that comes from circling the same truth until it finally sticks (or at least sparks joy for a minute).
Dive in for relatable reflections, practical takeaways, & a reminder that growth is less straight line, more delightful spiral. And welcome! I'm glad you're here!
GLITTER
& GRIT
Welcome to the intersection of sequins and stubbornness, where LGBTQ+ stories meet the everyday resilience of living out loud.
In this category I dig into queerness, neuroqueerness, and the culture that shapes us - think joyful pride parades, late-night identity spirals, legislative curveballs, and the quiet courage of choosing authenticity on a Tuesday morning. Expect frank reflections, research-backed context, and the occasional glitter-bomb of humor, all served with a wink and a steel spine.
Whether you’re navigating labels, pushing back against erasure, or hunting for camaraderie, these posts offer both celebration & strategy - proof that sparkle shines brightest when it’s forged in grit.
DIVERGENT
ADULTING
Adulting isn’t a one-size-fits-all skill set - especially when your brain runs on custom code. Here, we talk about the messy reality of careers, bills, relationships & sensory landmines - all while keeping burnout at bay.
Expect candid dispatches on everything from executive-function work-arounds to “why is laundry existential?” at 2 a.m. These posts celebrate resourcefulness, question rigid norms, and dish up practical strategies - served with a wink and zero shame - for building an adult life that fits your neurodivergent wiring instead of the other way around.
And please share what topics you'd like to read more about. You're why I'm here!
Linda's Story
A life shaped by movement, memory and the quiet power of words.
Linda grew up in an Air Force family, moving from place to place across the United States and Europe. Each new home gave her another horizon to study, another sky to watch.
With a first-generation American father and a mother whose roots run deep, she carries a blend of stories from many lands.
But it was her Welsh grandmother who first handed her the gift of poetry—the steady reminder that small truths can fly the farthest.
As a young girl, Linda found her way to haiku, drawn to how a few simple lines could hold the shape of a moment.
Over time, her poems grew longer, stretching like wings learning their span.
She wrote tributes to the people she loves, the places that steadied her, and the gentle lessons that arrive when we pay close attention.
Her first publication came in 2009.
After forty years in the high-tech world, working alongside her husband Bill, Linda returned to a quieter rhythm.
She now splits her time between a hobby farm along the Tuolumne River in California and a log cabin on the Grand Mesa in Colorado.
Together, she and Bill raised two daughters and adore their five grandsons, each one a reminder that helping something grow is its own kind of freedom.
