I’ve been left with a familiar feeling. So much so, that I nearly entitled this piece Groundhog Day. But to call it that that would just be showing another of my traits – the one where I present my own interpretation of things as fact, without having all the information needed. Passing off BS as [...]
You know how it goes: Ring-Ring. One… You don’t like calling people on the phone, and have just spent ages trying to pre-play the conversation in your head. Ring-Ring. Two… Anxiety is sloshing around. Ring-Ring. Three… It’s ok, people rarely pick up on three rings, unless they are sitting by the phone. Ring-Ring. Four… Ok, [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
Yes really. I woke up on Monday morning, and felt terrible. My head pounded, my view of the world felt hazy and I had pain in my kidneys. I felt decidedly hungover. I cursed myself for drinking on what had been a rare night of being on my own. And then it dawned on me. [...]
Just look at all those hungry mouths we have to feed Take a look at all the suffering we breed So many lonely faces scattered all around Searching for what they need Is this the world we created? what did we do it for? Is this the world we invaded? Against the law? So it [...]
The last few days have been somewhat plagued by this feeling. I’m anxiously waiting for something that never arrives. What is it that I’m waiting for?
