I feel emotional
I’m back in my accommodation after spending most of the day outside. I had loads of walks, ate cake for lunch and drank large glass of wine in the afternoon. It was a good day overall. I may go out later again to get something to eat but it depends on how hungry I am.…

Croissants and yoghurt – continuation
Ok, just a quick post as I’m really tired today. I barely had any sleep last night, that’s how bad the mattress in the previous hotel was. Now I’m in Weymouth and trying to rest but I feel like the whole idea of blogging about autism specific communication is suddenly overwhelming me. Possibly there is…

I’m a proud owner of (pretended) Mazda – pretended play in autistics

Finally I’m going for my work training next week. The training is in Portland which is a small town in Dorset and the closest train station is Weymouth. It takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday so I have to go there on Monday as I wouldn’t be able to get there on Tuesday morning, it…

Autism – how it all began (the importance of effective communication)
I tried to listen to some podcasts about autism today and came across Emily Klonowski’s podcast called Let’s talk about autism. Emily is not a specialist but a psychology student, however it shocked me how unaware she is of her communication. In the introduction to her podcast she says she will be talking about autism…
