Why everything I know about autism is wrong – dr Jac den Houting
I just watched the above speech and you know how I feel? It makes me sad. I can’t quite understand why, dr Jac is so confident on stage and they allowed themselves the comfort of appearing without shoes. Not that I’m jealous of that, I need both socks and shoes, unless I’m in bed, but…

I’m a wise woman, it seems
I saw that quote on Facebook just a minute ago: A wise person learns from everyone and everything, an average from their own experience and stupid one knows everything best.

I’m in love
I don’t quite know how that happened. Just a few weeks ago me and John agreed to go back to dating on a ‘we will see how it goes’ basis and today I feel I’m in love with him again. We spent such a lovely time together, doing absolutely nothing, all the heavy energy between…

Workplace politics – some tactics people use
I know I already discussed that but will need to state it again – I believe the Home Group drama caused me some type of brain damage, one where I’m unusually focused on working out patterns around me. That helps me understand some of the human behaviours that were puzzling me before but at a…
