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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Hooray! This article, from the BBC News website speaks for itself.
I’ve been very very busy, hence the lack of posts here. Work has been busy, as has my home life.

Whatever lies behind it, it’s fair to say that I’ve never read the various sites on the web that advocate that Autism is a curable disease, and that vaccines cause autism. That’s changed today, and has proven to be something [...]
I have Anna, one of my regular contributors to thank for this one. A wrote a couple of days ago about how I’m sometimes at a loss for words when I’ve experienced too much sensory input. I used a throw-away metaphor in the article about how my brain goes away and decides whether it needs [...]
It’s just occurred to me that if I could spend my whole working day writing about things I’m interested in, I’d be a very happy bunny indeed. I enjoy writing about AS, but I also enjoy writing about more technical things at work. Food for thought for me. If I’m ever going to get myself [...]
