When I was growing up, my relationships with women were unusual. This article covers a time line that stretches from my early teenage school days, right through to my mid twenties, and as such, covers situations that happened at school, university and in my early work life. This article is deeply personal, and contains mild [...]
This, in a sense, is a follow up to the article I wrote earlier about my experience with dipping into autism advocacy. If you haven’t already done so, it would make sense for you to read that article first. – Imagine if you will, a hypothetical mother. She has an autistic son. She believes that [...]
I got a shock last week, and it has made me realise that I have been subconsciously keeping quite a tight control over what I read and how I publicise my blog. In a blog article I wrote a week or so ago, I lamented about how few hits the blog was getting. I felt [...]
I’m glad I live in the UK. Here in the UK, autism isn’t well understood outside of families that have been touched by it. I believe it’s still very much seen as a condition in kids that causes them not to interact with others, and to rock backwards and forwards. Many people in the UK [...]

I could write a [...]
Yesterday morning, I emailed the information email address of a private counselling clinic in Sheffield, near to where I live. The clinic offer a Developmental Disorder Assessment for those who suspect they have an Autism Spectrum Disorder. The man behind both the clinic and assessment is a very well respected psychotherapist and professor, which ultimately [...]
It’s often said – indeed I’m sure even I’ve said it more than once – that Asperger’s is a hidden condition. What is meant by this, of course is that you can’t tell that someone has it simply by looking at them. A great many people, it would seem, don’t believe in things they can’t [...]
One of the biggest ways in which Asperger’s shows itself with me is my lack of friends. This has always been a problem for me, and I’ve spent most of my life in a situation where I’ve had either one or two good friends, or at times none. Over the years, I’ve come to terms [...]
