To the “everyone is Autistic or ADHD now” crowd: When the whole world stopped in 2020, and everyone was mandated to stay in their homes, every burnt out, high-masking autistic person got to finally drop the lifelong masks and just be themselves for months. And when social distancing policies started dropping and we got back to “normal,” it was impossible for those people to simply pick those lifelong masks back up as we dropped them, shattered them. Just sit with that.

Today is the first foggy morning where Sir Ruskin (my rusty owl) has a bejewelled cobwebs He's really settling in (Made by the fabulous Mick Kirkby-Geddes)
A close-up shot of a rusty, cylindrical metal object shaped like a stylized character or face with large ears, resting on a thick, dark wooden beam. A delicate spiderweb covered in tiny, shimmering dewdrops clings to the front and side of the metal figure against a pale, overcast sky.

And today, book two in the series went live on Kindle (paperback to follow) What happens several years into the adoption journey? And Trauma Made Five is an "unputdownable" story that's "heart wrenching and heart-warming" amzn.eu/d/030UwBZk

What shall I make for tea? Let's start with who is eating. Deffo - two adults. Maybe - son and GF Maybe - daughter and new friend (whose tastes I know nothing about) Everyone likes/ dislikes/ loathes different things and I'm gluten-free Even meals are cryptic conundrums

What I missed most was 1. Solutions and signposts - when I described dysregulation central and someone mentioned PACE or NVR 2. Understanding - when I described something I was finding hard, someone going "that's tough, we've got you" 3. Community - feeling I belonged.

Because it was/ is lonely when you're parenting children who don't fit the mould Who find school hard to impossible. When holidays don't happen or do and are awful When you just need someone to believe you. That's what I missed.

None appeal. I don't like harsh edges (3 and 4 are out) Or uneven tines (2) I prefer a smooth even texture with no embossing (like 3 and 4 but the corner means nope)

This week I resigned from a voluntary role I enjoyed Because when life adds more plates to the ones you're already struggling to keep spinning, something has to give EHCPs, DLA & PIP, SEND, adoption, neurodiversity, mental health... That's more than a full-time role

The first sign of a stroke might not seem like much, like not being able to raise your arm. Or struggling to smile. Or slurring when you speak. Any sign of a stroke is always an emergency. Face or arm or speech, at the first sign, it's time to call 999. #WorldStrokeDay

I went at the weekend. It is glorious. Heart warming I clapped. I cried. I laughed. It was like a meal with old friends. Fabulous script and joyous. I heartily recommend it.

This film is utterly joyous! Warm. Funny. Poignant. Escapism at its best.

It's been two and a half years. Quite alot has happened. And by "alot" I mean soooo much. Who is still here? I missed you guys and I couldn't find you all elsewhere. We're now in the teenage years and it's nearly broken us. Say hello if you're still here.
