Just over 12 months ago I was in awe of an ultrasound image of a developing 12 week old human brain in utero. Today I get to witness that brain operating and problem solving. There's a body and face attached, obviously :) I'd begun to suspect this 12 month old had an eidetic memory, but...

Somewhat housebound and tongue tied currently I emailed a local Autism support charity(?) Set up by locals for support in the area and in receipt of lottery funding BUT primarily for the support of families with children on the spectrum. I am feeling a little lost on the”How to ...” side of...

Being somewhat new to the ASD world of realisation, and still waiting on an assessment-as if that will give me permission to be ‘me’ Officially. I didn’t realise how little seems to be available for those in my situation. I can cope, until I can’t. Where is that little book of survival...

No skootching off for me. I applied for a couple of jobs instead. If I sit at home I can be my own mind’s worst enemy. I get advised to relax and take it easy. I have tried, albeit intermittently. Just doesn’t appeal. I need purpose. Preferably paid purpose to feel less guilty about not...

I think I’m going to skootch back into my little hidey-hole. More of a mental fortress. Taking many years to design and build where the walls are made up of seven foot thick, solid defence mechanisms and piercing, vitriolic comments. No drama, no finding workable solutions, nothing. One drama...

Creating a drip feed of toxic hormones and neurochemicals into my system with repetitive thought loops over a senario that's already passed and there's nothing I can do to change the outcome for my young adult son. He left school, left home and lived his dream (flew through the 8months of...

A bit of a "lightbulb" moment. It's 02.56hrs, in the North West of the UK. Clear, starry skies with just enough wisp of cloud cover to prevent frost. I'm awake after five hours uninterrupted sleep and grateful for those few precious hours (story for another day) Lightbulb moment: It's only...

I've been on sertraline for five or six days now. It's more effective than laxatives for assisting digestive transit and I go through phases of feeling too nauseous to eat anything and wanting to eat everything if it stands still long enough, food, carpets, small children. My diaphragm feels...

I didn't particularly want to go and see my GP, the one I've been used to for twenty years; who I now think was probably rubbish, has retired. I have to get used to someone else or a lot of someone elses. I haven't seen a doctor in a long time. Nothing needed fixing or tablets or referrals...
