Sorry but I Broke Both Hands.
Hi, This was not my usual depressed absence from my blog. I fell down stairs. No joke, at a jetty going to a water dragon show at twilight in front of a huge crowd, I fell down stairs and landed flat on my face. Two sprained wrists, two sprained ankles, patella damage, two on one…

Rollability: Support Agents to the Stars
I.E. Us Holtses I would like everyone, every single person in the world (just in case this sounds so good you want to get a disability and move to Perth), to know about a FANTASTIC support agency called Rollability (D&D dice not wheelchairs BTW). Rollability was recently started by an Adonis and ministering angel Nick,…

Do We Expect Too Much?
Okay hang onto the end folks, this could get rocky. Plus I can’t edit stuff that upsets me. Sorry! I am seriously going off the therapies for autism. The messages are confusing and don’t work together. There seem to be a couple of broad types of high functioning autistic types. The type who do want…

Unusual Perspective
I thought I might let you know some of my background. For those of you who are interested in that kind of thing. It’s kind of a bit sad so I have interlaced some pictures to cheer you up. My mother’s family seem like a sane bunch, except for a few issues of left/right dominance,…

Day 2
Hi, I’ve been reading other people’s blogs. This was even harder than writing a post. Why? Because I am crazy and was terrified that bad things had happened in my absence. But if I didn’t know about it it hadn’t really happened and everything will be fine. Hey, get off my back I don’t control…

I’ve Been…
It’s been a long while. Bit cliched, I know, restarting on New Year’s Day. But I need all the pushing I can get. KSP did not work out. Maybe because I’m a b&%@#, maybe because of the autism. But basically I couldn’t communicate my needs or my ideas. The break up was a…

Evil Money Grubbing Loon Turns Professional Beggar.
Help I need Mon Mon. Remember I wrote some books to help my youngest and foolish people encouraged me, and I insanely decided to try and publish them. If you need a reminder read Things I am Trying to do. So needing a new old car and trying to save the front garden has…

Can an Autistic Person Legitimately Become a Writer?
Of course disabled people can do whatever they want to. Rah,rah disabled rights. Okay, done? Seriously though, writing is supposed to be based in truth, right? Even the most preposterous fantastic premise must be based on the human experience, it must have internal cohesion or it becomes pointless. So you write from what you know. …

Farewell Beloved Smokie
I don’t even know how to write this… Smokie passed away, renal failure after a kidney blockage; it was fast, bloody and completely unexpected. My marshmallow cloud. The vet gave him a pain killer while we waited for tests, the results were dire. No real choice. But the morphine gave us time to get the…

I Am Not A Person, I Am An Autistic.
‘I am not my disability, I am a person!’ Interesting, but in terms of autism how accurate is it. I suppose what it gets down to is how do we really understand ‘a person’. Other disabilities, sure I’ll give you that, as far as I know. Blind people are people who can not see, deaf…
