The Ozblog
Here, I write. That’s not very descriptive, but it really does encompass what I’m trying to do here. While the Ozblog may not be the most creative name, this autism blog is a place where I can dump thoughts and try to provide value to other autistic people by sharing experiences, thoughts, wins, and losses.

Then, I come back and edit on Wednesdays live on Twitch.
