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 [...]
Here in the UK, a General Election has been called for 6th May. In the grand scheme of things, I’m not very big on politics. However, whenever a general election happens, I end up getting very drawn into it all, with very set views all of a sudden. I’m a liberal. Not out of choice [...]
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 [...]
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’m finding that I’m needed to write each morning when I get into work this week. If I don’t attempt to empty my brain a bit, I can’t settle down to the work that I’m being paid to do. So it’s Wednesday morning, and here I am writing once more. What’s on my mind today? [...]
It’s my first day back at work today, after a week of holiday. I arrived at work a little after 0930, switched on the various PCs on my desk, and started to work through the large volume of email that had built up over the week. And then it happened. It always happens. I read [...]
When I first started writing this blog, I didn’t know where it would take me. I still don’t, to be honest, but the path which I find myself down now is not the one I thought I’d be down. Popularity is an odd phenomenon. I’ve never sought it, perhaps because I fear it would show [...]
I used to be terribly disorganised, and failed to get things done that I really had to do. My memory for tasks appears to be very transitory – no matter what I do to try and consciously remember things, the list slips quickly out of my mind, and I have no clue what I was [...]
Compulsion is a key trait in my Asperger’s, and it seems to be behind one of the more annoying things that I do regularly. I answer rhetorical questions. I can’t help doing it, and even though I usually know these days when they are meant to be rhetorical, I still feel that I have to [...]
