- Actually autistic Becca gets vulnerable and shares her first meltdown. House is getting ready to be sold, and the pack is getting ready to move permanently into the RV.
Notes from episode:
*Alexithymia is a personality trait characterized by the subclinical
inability to identify and describe emotions experienced by oneself.
*Interoception is the ability to sense the internal state of the body, for instance, to accurately identify sensations such as hunger, thirst, pain, and internal temperature.

A neurodivergent couple, 6 cats, 4 dogs, 2 snakes, and a tortoise, in an RV, on the road to leveling up and to show that autistic adults can live an authentic, thriving life.
We’ll show the whole journey from packing and selling our home, to living in the RV for a while as we move from the Colorado Rocky Mountains back East.
Meltdowns are in the forecast & so are great insights (also sights Lol).
I’m leveling up my life with my pack, and taking this magical opportunity to document the whole process right here on my channel! What I want to share with the world is that we, #ActuallyAutistic humans can do hard things. Even if it means we do it differently.

Keepin’ in real 😘 You are not alone with your adult meltdowns! I totally felt that solidarity with you.
It’s very emotional moving and Everything that comes along with it. X
Hugs ❤️
I actually liked the green bathroom. I had significant feels at the beginning and just as significant when you showed your empty office. Walter expresses it, too. Bittersweet and finding sweetness to spare, I feel lucky to tag along via your blog. Always: thanks for all you do!
Thanks for watching, Bill. As always, Walter is the best compass I've got!
We're here for you Becca! Thank you for reminding us that vulnerability is courageous.
Thanks for your support, Doug ❤️
Becca - please try to not be so hard on yourself. All those emotions at the beginning of the show are totally expected based on the pressure and upheaval you are experiencing. Don’t fight the feelings. Live them and let them go when ready. ❤
Thank you 😊
You are amazing and brave!
Thank you
Hi Becca,
I wanted to take a second to let you know how this video has helped me.
I am 53, just diagnosed autistic last year after a lifetime of confusion and a few incorrect mental health diagnoses. I want you to know how important it was to me for you to show your meltdown. For a long time, I've been having what I thought we're just crying jags, because what I saw in videos of autistic meltdowns wasn't the true state of what happened to me. Watching this video, I saw for the first time somebody else experiencing what I experience every so often, sometimes daily. It shows me that these are indeed meltdowns. All the emotions get backed up. Everything gets too much, and I end up feeling, like you said during the meltdown when you just need a hug from your mom, like a child. Every time I have these I feel like I can't cope, like there is something wrong with me because I simply can't handle...life. Although I've spent the past year reframing my life and researching absolutely everything there is to know about ASD, as that quest itself has become a SPIN for me, I feel like I'm just scratching the surface. I could never be an advocate like you are, spending so much wonderful outward energy to make us seen and known. My energy is very precious and I need a lot of downtime after an experience, as we all do. So thank you for this. If you were at all rethinking whether you should've posted it, you made the right decision, because you greatly helped me understand a huge aspect of my life.
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ Let's me know I am reaching the right peeps 😉
You are. ❤
