About this listen
As a matter of F | EP04. An Autist-Wannabe
In this episode, I delve into a deeply personal confession about my search for a label. For a long time, I suspected I might be on the autistic spectrum. I craved a diagnosis as hope, but deeper beneath that, I sought it as a 'certificate of immunity' from the world that demands arrays of normalcy in how we should perceive, feel and process.
However, when faced with the reality of a costly diagnosis test, I made a rather shameless executive decision: I spent that money (...and put even more!) on a piano instead.
My craving of the letter A for autism transforms into an epiphany that actually what I need is finding other values beginning with the same letter:
Autonomy
Authenticity
Audacity
I hope that one's melody doesn't need a medical label. It just needs a player with the audacity to strike the keys and the boldness to make the sound that they want the world to hear.
Have a nice holiday & a very Happy New Year!

Around 13:00, a correction because I said 'with'. -->
"I can say it without any problem".
