all our lonely kicks are getting harder to find

I've been meaning to get around to doing this for a long time now, so here's the first of a series of posts detailing what I've been up to for the past ... [looks through LJ and DW] over ... five ... years.

O_O;

All right, if I don't start writing these now they'll never get done, so here we go.

Previously on quadruplify:

• My workplace was putting together an employment pilot program for young adults with autism. It didn't go well.


• I was in the process of putting together an "Autism Job Club" at my workplace.


• I did a work evaluation for my state's vocational rehabilitation agency. That didn't go well, and I stopped working with them.


• I got a part-time work-at-home job and had a few other interviews, some of which were ... interesting.


• I stopped seeing therapists for the time being.


• A close friend of mine from college had been in prison.


• I got a new MacBook (which I'm still using), my cousin graduated college, and my sister graduated high school.

First off, in case you missed it, my last RL update is here in case you're curious as to how I'm doing. ^_^;

Also, one of my cousins recently opened up a jewelry shop on Etsy! I think some of you on my f-list would be interested, so if you'd like to support her (which would be awesome! :D) or just see the kind of work she's doing, feel free to check out her store. ;-)

Because I haven't done a linkdump in a while, it's another REALLY REALLY long one, so it's under a cut. Obviously I don't expect you to read all of it -- or any of it, for that matter -- but I've bolded the ones I recommend the most for your convenience. Enjoy!
