What on Earth was that Video Yesterday About?
Okay so I have been working on…. Whoa this is a long story. Okay I wanted to sell some books; Autistic Guides to High School. But I’ve been waiting for my illustrator, if you hire an Autistic, ADD, Dyslexic try to make sure they aren’t about to fall into a deep depression, alternately make sure…

Scary Day Ahead!
Any of you that have had much to do with autism and therapy blah blah, will know we were not allowed to languish at home for long after the KSP implosion. I mean I learnt my lesson. Lisa (I) am not good with people. It takes all my energy, it is scary and so anxiety…

I Think My Human Costume Is Wearing Out. Part 4
This may (emphasis on the word may) make more sense if you start with part 1 first then part 2 etcetera. First a little back tracking. I may not have given an accurate account of the Literary Dinner. The food was magnificent, the company scintillating, it would have been a phenomenal night except for this one…

I Think My Human Costume Is Wearing Out. Part 3
Despite your misgivings I actually use the same numbering system as humans, so read part 1 first then part 2 etcetera. So I survived The Literary Dinner and Gavin had called and was in the car outside. Actually I had sent him a message to come in when he got there and join us for…

I Am Awake, Shut Up Mum
In order to wake Alex from a dissociative/mute/withdrawn episode I sometimes use songs that attract her attention and simultaneously offer a reward if she can repeat the song. Singing a funny song preferably with actions wakes her up. By the time she can sing the song properly she is ready to safely walk around. This…

Biting the Hand That Feeds Us!
I have written a letter I plan to send to some local politicians. To understand it Centrelink is our Social Security benefits agency, and NDIA is a new system for funding disabled people. Autism is impossible to explain. Just a note I have met one person that defrauded Social Security; he was probably a Sociopath,…

Agoraphobia. Part 6 The End
Part 1 Part 5 Unfortunately it is difficult to push the little fledglings out if we won’t leave ourselves. So, frankly, I am being forced into the horrible, ‘real’ world for the sake of my kids. I hate maternal instinct. And please realise I know that I am doing all this…

Agoraphobia. Part 5
Part 1 Part 4 It’s confusing; a neurotypical friend of ours called fairly last minute to cancel an outing because she had a headache. My brood were very confused. “But Mum, you can’t cancel something for a headache.” I had to explain to them that people that rarely have headaches need to…
