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 [...]
Wow. Not only have I not written anything here for the last few months, I’ve not be reading any of your blogs either. For the first time in well over a year, AS has not been a conscious part of my daily routine for some time. Today I’ve not only written here for the first time since [...]
Ah yes – Peter Pan, the boy that never grew up. I was left feeling like Peter yesterday. It all started when we rushed out the door on Sunday morning. I took the kids to the rugby ground – my son for his weekly training session, and my daughter to stand and watch with me, [...]
Last night, something dawned on both me and my wife. Whilst I can empathise with others, I can’t empathise in the same way that she can. It’s not that my ability to empathise is less strong than hers per se, more that I can’t use empathy in the same scenarios that she can. This all [...]
Perhaps the most visible aspect of my Asperger’s – if you were actually to look for it – is the way in which I interact with other people. There is quite a distinct style behind this, and some strongly embedded techniques that I use all the time to try and make my life easier.
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 [...]
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 [...]
