Hey there, I'm Julie.
51yo mom of 2 teens in semi-rural NC.
Grew up in South Jersey and moved to NC in 1995.
I've got 2 dingaling dogs and a Not Our Cat who has decided that he owns our property.
I'm autistic, as are our kids, and we all have ADHD.
Nonbinary. Exhausted due to chronic pain. Still find joy in things.
Also when my stomach is upset I eat hot peppers.
Nice to be here!

Welcome and thank you.
Quick bit about me.
50, widowed in NYC.
No kids, like cats but not ready to adopt as I like being out and about and knows better than trying to be responsible if I can't be there.
The professionals I have dealt with know I am on the Spectrum, likely Asperger's.
No major health issues yet, but stress does a number and the occasional anxiety attack caused by too much going on and no way to press stop and regather after a disrupted episode.
