There’s a lot going on in my head right now, and I’m not only struggling to make sense of it, but also to turn it into something that can be expressed in some way. I have no idea which way this post will turn. Lets find out. My background anxiety levels are through the roof, [...]
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 [...]
Note: This is one of my more unusual articles. There’s nothing bad, and no bad language either. Just, umm, oddness. I spot things. I have an unusual attention to detail that means that means I see things most people miss. Whilst this often means humdrum things like trying to decipher personalised number plates on cars, [...]
I’m sure that everyone finds it difficult to be positive all of the time, no matter how high their self confidence is. My self confidence level moves around hugely, but on average has never been very high.

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.
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 [...]
One of my tasks at work right now is to pick up new cases that have been logged on behalf of our clients, and raise cases on our internal ticket system to deal with them. Once such case was waiting for me when I got back from lunch today. The basics of the case were [...]
