Hello everyone, My name is Clare. I’m one of Anika's friends. Unfortunately Anika has been readmitted to hospital. She has asked me to let you all know.

Well, we have just had Halloween and Johnathan had a wonderful time, decorating the house and outside, having bought two massive tubs of sweets for the large number of children he expected to come.

I can see the light in you, The one you think is gone, Creation battles for you, Inspiration for your dreams.

Now what shall I move onto next. Ah yes, DENTISTS. OMG! Dentists! Bad enough seeing them in the first place for yourself but for a child? ! And one on the spectrum? Oh no!

Have you ever thought about creative interests and WHAT you could be inspired by? As you probably know there are people who have the love of creativity and others who have the love for science.

Did you think medical appointments were finished with the very first post? Well now you know I wasn’t.

There is a whole new level of need with medical appointments or emergencies with a child on the spectrum. I can’t remember our mother making special comments about the appointment.

I’m going to talk about something I never imagined myself to write about. Games. There are so many different ones. Ones you play alone, ones you play with other people.

Well I had written the post out and was just going to send it to my friend to check when I messed up the process. Kevin had told me to press command z, and I messed that up too!

I think I have spoken about how people on the spectrum has black and white thinking. In case you don’t know what it is, they see it from one or the other.

There are so many things that people are afraid of and yes, I could have chosen to talk about many other things that are feared.

I know that you are very well aware of how people on the autism spectrum deal (or don’t) with disappointment if you care for one or know one in person.

Now don’t tell me you haven’t said this to yourself over something like a puppy or kitten or photo/video or anything, because everyone has done. Well, I can’t be the only one. I know it.

Have you ever sat and thought about nostalgia and what it means to you? You know, the good, fun times. The times when you were happy.

When we went to get Johnathan assessed to see if he was on the autism spectrum, one of the things said to me was that anyone on the spectrum didn’t have imagination.

We have just had the school nurse now and it was an excellent meeting. She made some very good suggestions and I thought I might share some of it with you.

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.
