Oh, yes. Yes, she did.
No point in burying the lede here. I’ve started a YouTube channel: Deviated Spectrum.
I’m autistic, I’m queer, and I’m an addict in recovery with a lively variety of mental diagnoses. Lots of spectrums there, and they tend to intersect in weird ways. Hence, Deviated Spectrum.
What’s it about? Adventures in late-diagnosis autism! Laughing at myself while I get reacquainted with my brain. Very basic adulting tutorials, hacks, and some product reviews. But I’m not limiting myself to autism. Addiction recovery and LGBTQ+ issues will definitely be in the mix.
So what on earth possessed me to start a YouTube channel at age 65? You know, other than the fact that there aren't enough old people on YouTube talking about this stuff?
Just before the pandemic hit, I had this weird urge to do photography. And make videos. And write. And act. And I missed making music. And maybe I could start a podcast. Or a YouTube channel! I wrote about it here.
It’s like my head exploded and rainbows spewed out in all directions and I wanted to chase after every single one. And that's exactly what I did. I pursued every one of them. And this particular rainbow led to Deviated Spectrum.
You can find my channel right here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8WV67qBrz90E1mqSh8Qelg.
It's my hope that you'll find my channel positive, helpful, and entertaining. Please check it out, subscribe if you'd like, and feel free to give me your comments and suggestions.
Thank you!
