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, [...]
So here’s the deal: I find it difficult to plan and execute things. My inability to get started causes issues in all areas of my life: What shall we do at the weekend? What shall I buy my relatives for Christmas? How do I start this work task? I don’t have answers for all of [...]
‘Tis the season to be jolly according to the words of the well known carol. The festive season has arrived and gone, and I have survived – but it has taken its toll. This year, our family festivities worked in a different way. Earlier in the year, my parents bought a second home in the [...]
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 [...]
Thoughts and feelings. Self expression. It’s vital. Yet how do you express yourself when you don’t have friends? And what happens if you don’t express yourself? These thoughts have been on my mind recently, so I thought I’d write about them a little. I have considerable trouble expressing myself clearly to other people, particularly when [...]
Where do I start? Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome.

The diagnosis left me feeling both shocked and relieved. [...]
On Monday I flew to Amsterdam on business, returning yesterday evening. I work in IT, and this trip was to visit the data centre we use to house our computer servers, with the main task being to fit out and commission a whole new cabinet with 20 servers and all the associated wiring and everything else that [...]
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. Trying to keep my glass half full rather than half empty is a problem that I face frequently, and even after [...]
I have always been astonishingly good at faux pas. Since my self-realisation eighteen months or so ago that I have Asperger’s, there has of course been a reasonable explanation for this. Whilst I prefer to hide in the background, I do often say or do things are are simply not subtle. I say things that [...]
I’m continuing to experience fallout from my stressful evening at the theatre last weekend. The flashbacks and replays of the events have stopped, thank goodness, but the evening has served to heighten my background levels of stress and anxiety considerably, and these have yet to abate. Whilst not causing a downward spiral by any means, [...]
