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.
It’s a funny old game, this blogging lark. When I first had the idea for this blog back in January, I was very unsure of myself, and, indeed about what I would be able to write about. My first postings, back in the early spring were tentative, and I was relieved that no-one was watching [...]
I seem to have mislaid my apostrophes. Oh, and I keep wanting to spell apostrophes as apostrophies. As a child, my spelling was never very good, and whilst I tried hard to learn the rules surrounding grammar, apostrophes, and how to write speech using quotes, my execution was never very good. 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.

Here’s an interesting one. One day last week, I wrote a couple of articles for this blog. They were quite long and intense, and I ended up with nearly 2000 words bashed out in a little over an hour. I felt great. I usually do after writing a blog post. The physical act of typing [...]
When someone who feels like they have authority for something makes stupidly arbitrary rules with little thought to how ridiculous the rules are, my spidey-senses tingle. Oh all right, they don’t. What really happens is that I get irate and whine and moan to people about how stupid the rules are. It is your turn, [...]
I first heard the term earworm a few years ago, when it was used by one of my online acquaintances. I immediately knew what it referred to, and I suspect that many of you will to. An earworm is a section of music of song that gets trapped in your head, and goes round and [...]
