Welcome to It's Like This!
Hi!
Thanks for finding my Substack.
Around here, it’s like this:
HOME PAGE
On my Home page, you can scroll down to see everything I’ve published here. You’ll also find my Recommendations to some of my favorite Substacks.
NOTES
The social media side of Substack, intended to be a community for writers and readers. I’ll post short bits here, or “restack” another writer’s great work for you to check out. On Notes, you can follow writers (whether you subscribe to their publications or not) and find some interesting discussions and other fun connections.
STAY QUIRKY, MY FRIENDS
Named in honor of my first blog, here you’ll find stories about caregiving and autism, from my son’s diagnosis at age 3 through caring for him today as a young adult. At the top of this section, I am building a pinned INDEX with links to some of the topics I tend to harp on about, like communication, social interaction, sensitivities, transition to adulthood and coping skills for caregivers.
SHORT FICTION & OTHER SILLINESS
This section is where I give myself permission to escape from my full-time caregiver/autism-mom gig. Here, I play around with micro-fiction, humor, and random stuff from writing prompts. (I created the hermit crab logo for this because she makes me smile, and because I like to write like this.)
SUPPORT
If you’re looking for ways to support us, head here (and thank you!).

Head over to my About page to read a few more things about me and what I write.
