I was thinking about when i first met Kevin and discovered that soulmates were actually real. You see, I hadn’t been sure. I WANTED them to be, but that didn’t mean they were.

And you’re thinking “What on earth is she talking about? Runner or stayer? And combine it with autism? All children run from their parents at some point or other!

There was a time I heard about babies that went to heaven. I sat in conversations where people were told their child was just too poorly to live so God took them home.

I have spoken about how autism can bring terrible rage and frustration in meltdowns. Accompanying that can be head banging.

This is quite an interesting one when you consider the fact that there are already issues with speech already.

As you know, I have mentioned this a couple of times and yes it happens TONIGHT, Sunday 15 October 2023, in your living room. Where you burn either a candle or candles between 7 and 8pm whatever your time frame is.

Have I ever told you that I like to watch tv programmes where people change their house (or someone does it for them) or someone who renovates old, falling apart places.

Well, as you can see I went for x-rays today. And it was quite a lot of effort to even get out the door. At least my anxiety was more or less under control while I was out.

I was talking to a friend this morning and she was talking to me about her grandson. He’s about a year old and getting very interested in things.

Do you ever stop and think about the path you have travelled through the years? Sometimes I like to do so, because although life isn’t perfect.

I don’t know how much you know about frustration levels and autism, but it can be the thing that leads to a meltdown.

Have you ever thought a child has done something really weird and for no reason that you can see at all?

Hi all I just wanted to pop in and remind you the Wave of Light is happening on Sunday evening between 7and8pm wherever you are in the world.

In the last ok probably 48 hours, I think I have probably slept 40 of them. The fact I was fighting a migraine and didn’t realise was probably a great part of it.

I guess this is quite a weird one for me to write about. You see, neither Kevin nor Johnathan believed in friendship particularly, or were bothered by it.

I don’t know if I’ve told you but with my falls it’s got very frustrating because I know I need to do some kind of exercising but if I do so, I basically have a fall.

Masking? What is it? Well, you can be glad that I am here to give you the answer to that. It’s not a subject often raised to parents who don’t have children on the spectrum.

I can imagine you understand that yesterday would bring a lot of different emotions in me. But I want to talk about it today, because maybe, just maybe, it can help someone.

One of my friends asked me to write about this, so here I am, doing so. Friendship. Now where can we start on a subject like this?

This has definitely been a weird day for us. There are so many things you do without thinking as parents/carer/guardian.
