I expect the garden centres, theme parks and tourist attractions were packed today, it being a sunny bank holiday. None of them held any appeal for me, even if my neck had been better, which it isn't. Both T and D have a heightened sensory awareness and... Read more

I watched the above programme last week and wanted to share it as I found it very interesting. As regular readers will know, football is very important to T and Hubbie, I do occasionally have a little moan about how much of their lives it takes up but... Read more

I wasn't sure if there'd be a blog tonight, I've been in pain all day with a sore neck, which hasn't made for an easy day for D. She's missed the deep bear-hug cuddles that calm and regulate her. This is how she said she feels tonight: Broken-hearted... Read more

If I could sum up our day in two words, it would be as per the title. Poor D has needed to be close, needing "Mumma and Bunny cuddles", Bunny has not been allowed to be very far away (she never is) but it has been you-can't-have-one-without-the-other.... Read more

I'm quite late thinking about my "Reasons To Be Cheerful" this week, not because I didn't have any, but I wanted to wait until yesterday - http://www.autismmumma.com/when-you-least-expect-it-friday-23rd-aug-2013 - was done and dusted. I always try to... Read more

It's a strange old time being an autism parent, isn't it. Little incidents come up when you least expect it, incidents that penetrate through that facade that we portray, that thick skin. There were many factors that could have worked against us today,... Read more

It has been a very long day, following a long night. The anxieties that started to manifest with D yesterday - http://www.autismmumma.com/a-splashing-unicorn-weds-21st-august-2013 - continued into the night and early hours. Despite melatonin. D not only... Read more

As the parent of two diagnosed children on the autistic spectrum, I'm always on the hunt for information, for guidance. For anything that helps me understand how they think and process information. As both approach puberty, with many additional complications... Read more

This Is My Child This is my child, this is my D. A giggly bundle of fun, isn't she? D has autism, an invisible disability, she's prone to severe fears and anxiety. Sometimes she'll meltdown, when circumstances overcome her, this can be in public and people... Read more
Good morning, injection day for D, didn't go brilliantly but it's done. Poor thing. Hope everyone's day goes well #autismparent

Someone is eating a bacon roll on the train. Smells wonderful. Resisting the urge to leap up werewolf-style and scoff it. 🐷
