I was thinking about writing this because I was talking to someone today who told me that her nephew had autism but grew out of it. 

It’s quite interesting where people see support or interfering.  I remember my Nana not wanting anyone to interfere in her life.

Oh yes, I wanted to talk to you about sickness or illness and someone on the spectrum.  Now it could be possible that they don’t have sensory issues but I must admit that Johnathan does. 

Do you know I have done this 3 times!  It must just be one of those things today.  But it can be frustrating when you do think a post will be easy and it turns out to be the opposite of what you imagined.

I will say I can’t remember if I have ever told you this, but I seriously don’t remember EVER cooking a Christmas Dinner. 

I don’t know if you have ever had one of these, but they are there to help you through the night and as I use it more and more nights I can feel the oooh, I am beginning to notice a difference in me.

This last hospital trip where they sorted out the sleep apnea I think is what making a big difference to me.  I was actually forced to STOP writing for a few days because the seizures were simply taking too much OUT of me. 

There may have been carol concerts in the area but it’s not always easy to get into them, especially in a wheelchair. 

You know there are times when it seems to go SO fast!  I mean, this year Christmas has almost come upon us and I could swear it has come MUCH faster than the last few years. 

Having written one post on influence I thought was going to be it, finished, but it appears not. I think there are some things around the subject of influence that needs to be looked at a bit closer.

Well, as you know I am back home after some time in hospital.  It is wonderful starting to pick up family life again and have my own bed to sleep in. 

Although I agreed to the plan to change Johnathan’s small tent for a bigger one that could put a resting area in with loads of his soft toys to lie on.

So yay!  I am at HOME again now.  No more hospital!  How delightful!  Do you know that it can be absolutely EXHAUSTING and STRESSFUL being a patient in hospital. 

When things go wrong, because we never live a perfect life because we all make mistakes and sometimes they impact other people. 

As you know if you have read much of my material online, that my son is autistic but I knew he was a real blessing after the loss of four children. 

Now I know you are probably looking at the computer screen and thinking that you DO recognise different abilities.

As I am lying here, trying to relax I thought to myself what can I share with you all that has not only helped me but might even help you.

Now, there has been very few days that I have been well.  So I thought the only thing for it is to write when the pain is agony.

There are times in life where you have to advocate on behalf of yourself or someone else.

Well, yes, there is advocating and advocating. I have tried a number of times to achieve getting things that we need as a family.
