Yay! Managed to get an appointment for D's injection today, she won't see it like that though :( #autism #anxiety Jeannette (@AutismMumma) January 03, 2014 Read more

Delicate, volatile and fragile would describe D today. She was over-anxious this morning worrying about the invitation for the birthday party she's going to on Saturday. She couldn't find it in her carry-everything-in-it bag and wouldn't let me look.... Read more

If there were a spectrum of emotions assigned to D, we'd have definitely ticked off all the boxes today. She has had a very emotional day, to put it mildly. The school run this morning was fraught, both T and D are extremely weary in the run-up to half... Read more

This is D and Hubbie, hand-in-hand after a great trip to the circus (post below). We don't get to take many pictures like this, D's anxieties mean that she's far more comfortable in her "safety zone" of her buggy and for years, she wouldn't even let Hubbie... Read more

D was the "star of the day" in her class (of 8 pupils) today and she was delighted. Statistically, of course, it stands to reason that she could be one every other week or so, but it was very welcomed, especially after the routine changes of the last... Read more

I don't know why I've put a jokey title on tonight's blog...well, I do. My initial instinct is to put something like "grrr, bl**dy school" or alternatively "taking no notice". Because I'm cross, extremely cross, on behalf of T. Our high-functioning little... Read more

I wish today had been as simple as playing Hopscotch, not that D has ever been able to master it. Unfortunately it hasn't been a good day for D, she bottled up her emotions until she saw me at hometime (thank goodness she got down the school stairs safely)... Read more

Today was a strange day. It's had a whole myriad of emotions contained in it. The majority autism/anxiety related. We had the frustrations of T, trying to help (bless him) by wheeling D's buggy down the hall, forcing and ramming it so hard it thought... Read more

The title described T well...to a "t" this evening. He's been agitated and grumpy to the point of total non-communication after school. Maybe it was the realisation that the secondary school he wants to go to (because his friend is hoping to go there)... Read more

I've only just noticed that it was Friday 13th today, probably just as well. Not that I'm superstitious but ... Poor D has been riddled with anxieties today, the boys that tease her have been at it again. Her old TA was giving her a bit of a pep walk... 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. 🐷
