There’s a lot going on in my head right now, and I’m not only struggling to make sense of it, but also to turn it into something that can be expressed in some way. I have no idea which way this post will turn. Lets find out. My background anxiety levels are through the roof, [...]
My Autism and Me is a 15 minute video from the BBC in the UK that was first broadcast last week. It is narrated by Rosie who has Asperger’s, and gives an insight into her life, and the lives of some other young people in the UK with differing degrees of autism. It was produced [...]
So here’s the deal: I find it difficult to plan and execute things. My inability to get started causes issues in all areas of my life: What shall we do at the weekend? What shall I buy my relatives for Christmas? How do I start this work task? I don’t have answers for all of [...]
Work is proving to be quite challenging at the moment. There is a new technology for the company to wrestle with, one that no-one here has had to deal with before. We all bring different skills to the table, and slowly we are working together to figure out what is needed. This is what work is all [...]
Just a quick note to acknowledge that this blog is now back online after an extended outage of around 8 months or so. Early in the year I had a problem with my hosting provider, and at the time it seemed like an easy choice just to leave the blog broken. In a typically autistic way, I [...]
Help. I’m sorry to start with such a stark word, but I truly feel like I need some help right now.

These feelings have been so repetitive through my thirty-seven [...]

It came like a bolt from the blue. It always does. My wife wanted to talk. Not a friendly talk, but one of those talks where she wants to vent her huge frustration with me. She’s very good at this, and whether she realises it or not, has a canny knack of vicious character assassination, in [...]
Note: This is one of my more unusual articles. There’s nothing bad, and no bad language either. Just, umm, oddness. I spot things. I have an unusual attention to detail that means that means I see things most people miss. Whilst this often means humdrum things like trying to decipher personalised number plates on cars, [...]
Thoughts and feelings. Self expression. It’s vital. Yet how do you express yourself when you don’t have friends? And what happens if you don’t express yourself? These thoughts have been on my mind recently, so I thought I’d write about them a little. I have considerable trouble expressing myself clearly to other people, particularly when [...]
