Get Off the Rainbow, Autism Is Not All Positive

I believe in Neurodiversity, I believe there are a lot of positives to being Autistic, but I don’t believe in the gag order some of the Neurodiversity lobby are trying to guilt us into.  Living with a person who is neck deep in all the darker aspects of Autism as  a disorder is hard. AndContinue reading “Get Off the Rainbow, Autism Is Not All Positive”

Has the Clothes Fairy Exploded?

I walked into my room this morning and stood still in shock.  What had happened?  A cyclone or has the Clothes Fairy exploded?  Then I remembered the boyfriend was visiting and this is how teenagers clean up. Yes my youngest complained because her boyfriend was visiting and there was laundry on the dining room table.Continue reading “Has the Clothes Fairy Exploded?”

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In order to wake Alex from a dissociative/mute/withdrawn episode I sometimes use songs that attract her attention and simultaneously offer a reward if she can repeat the song.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. ThisContinue reading “I Am Awake, Shut Up Mum”

I Told You I Was Fine

Ha Ha Ha, everybody else was wrong!  Meaning, of course, I was right, how could you doubt it!  The Mastitis is all gone.  My ruthless, relentless draining of the infection worked.

Monday the money we’d borrowed had finally hit our bank account and we were off to buy our new car.  Our budget was a massive $4500.

Great News, I Might Be Sick!

This is a statement healthy people will never understand.  It is part of the reason I believe it is so vital to tell kids if they have autism.  I am happy I am sick because I feel absolutely dreadful, but if I’m sick and it has a name I might get better. I have heardContinue reading “Great News, I Might Be Sick!”

A Novel

Hi, just a quick note to let everyone know what I’ve been doing the last two days.  I have been making a background book for a novel.  Yes having started to write a mere 6 months ago I think I can write a novel. I was writing a book on autism but it is upsettingContinue reading “A Novel”

In the Spirit of Spreading the Message

First to all my caring followers I am absolutely fine, and so is the rest of the family.  But I think its important to disseminate information about autism including subjective experiences.  One day a really smart person will collect all these little tidbits and who knows what will & won’t be useful in the finalContinue reading “In the Spirit of Spreading the Message”

My beloved computer was hijacked this morning.  I turned it on and without any warning it began an update.  It has been 8 hours of black screens & blue flashing lights with no sign of change.
