The last time I wrote it was about the length of time it might take to make a finished item and post it. There is the time it takes to develop it. And there is the time it takes to enter the material and post it. Sometimes there are problems with the site snatching all the data away once a...

So I realised, today, why I was feeling "flat" yesterday. It's been pretty tough lately, a tough phase in a pretty tough life. In the last three years I've suffered three miscarriages, cut ties with my selfish, irresponsible and personality disordered mother, lost one colleague and one close...

While I want this to be a positive letter it can’t be at least completely. Dear Autism, Firstly I wanted to say thank you, I want to say thank you for the way in which I see the world if it weren’t for you being a part of me I wouldn’t take photos in the way that I do and take photos of the...

So, this is a really loaded topic for me, as I spent a LOT of years being narcissistically abused and exploited, and because of my Autism and the abusive and neglectful childhood I'd had, it took me to point where I was seriously contemplating my own demise, if I didn't get out of that abuse...

Do you think your child should know at a very young age if they have ASD? Should they need to seek their truth on their own? Will the world change in time to create a safer place for the teased, bullied, and take advantage of students and adults in the future (hopefully near)? I'm seeking all...

(From my official blog, Autistic Spirits) A lot of neurotypicals("normal people") think having autism means you don't have feelings. This is one of the most common stereotypes about autistic people and it's far from the truth. Someone on the spectrum does feel, but he/she expresses it in a...

I eat the same dinner almost every evening. It is yoghurt with rolled oats and a banana. It looks somewhat like this: However, the yoghurt/oats ratio is different in my version. It's more yoghurt and less oats. And I cut one banana and put all the pieces in my bowl instead of just some of them...

I usually eat the lunch provided at work on weekdays. This is convenient and good for several reasons. Firstly, it helps me to keep a more varied diet than the one I would have if I prepared my own lunch every day. Secondly, I don't have to waste even more energy after work by cooking something...

I just need to write. I've felt pretty up and down this week. Extreme extremes, as well as moments of extreme wellbeing, moments of extreme ailienation and frustration, moments of extreme anxiety and terrible grief, and increased connectedness and comfort. Oh well, I guess it's good in that, my...

The above topic in my title has been literally driving me bonkers lately. I cannot stand being able to see the duality of the universe, and I equally can't stand seeing how the concrete thinking of humans tends to be their greatest downfall. It is also in our nature to demand answers, and it...

I have some very persistent finger stims, which do not seem to favour any particular emotion unless we assume that I am in a permanent state of either joy or anxiety. The latter is most likely, and I am medicated for anxiety which helps minimise the more obvious stims, not to mention the...

In my 3rd Entry I will be talking about Keyboard Sizes. In the 2nd Entry you may have seen some strange looking keyboards without the Numberpad Section, and one in the attached video's thumbnail without the Arrow keys even, along with the just as strange Cable that goes in 2 Directions. If you...

So today, I'm going to talk about birth. Mine and in comparison, my seven children's. Mine wasn't a "good" birth, as birthing experiences go, according to my mother. Although, it was good enough, in that I'm alive, and relatively unscathed. I'm pretty sure my mum had and still has, something...

In this Entry, I will be talking about the various Mechanical Switches one can find in Mechanical Keyboards, generally pre-built ones, along with the Customization options and how one can Create their own Keyboard. As apart of my first Entry, I briefly talked about the 3 "keyfeels" of...

To trade in 3 games, I can get £38 towards Kingdom Hearts 3 on Xbox, which is £50 so I'd just pay the £12 difference. Better than the half price for trading in Crash N Sane trilogy towards it at Game for half price, and CEX generally do better prices than Game most of the time anyway. 3 games...

Meh, doing a Blog entry because people complain about me "spamming" the employment section. Applied to Burton's, the clothes shop in Meadowhall, and also the VUE Cinema in Meadowhall, for part time work. Hopefully I'll get interviews for at least one of 'em.
