Not a great start to the day with community nurse delaying D's injection at very short notice. #autism #routine Happy Autism Awareness Month Jeannette (@AutismMumma) April 01, 2014 Read more
Good morning, a very reluctant D to head to class today as no smiley TA to greet her, hope she & everyone has a good day :) #autism #routine Jeannette (@AutismMumma) December 13, 2013 Read more

This is a conker tree, just at the boundary to D's school. It represents much more than just conkers to us, which D loves collecting by the way. For ages, the tree had a shiny helium balloon caught up on its higher branches, over time we could see how... Read more

There nearly wasn't a blog tonight and I've been conspicuous by my absence today (sorry). Today has not been the best day for T and D, I knew it wouldn't be and it's been a case of trying to balance moods, requirements and expectations, only to hear and... Read more

Oh goodness, in D's eyes I have got so much wrong today but (ssssh) I seem to have been forgiven. My children thrive on routine and knowing what is happening and exactly when, a Mumma who tries to throw a bit of change into the mix...silly woman, hasn't... Read more

Part of D's afternoon routine when leaving her classroom is running up to me (nearly bowling me over!) shouting "Mumma" and then enveloping ourselves in a huuuge body-slam and bear-hug. It's always been the same greeting, right from the time she was in... Read more

We had a trip to town today, to replace the books that T had lost, this has been causing him anxieties for a couple of weeks. I've held back from replacing them in the hope they'd turn up - and we've (erm, no that would be me) looked into every conceivable... Read more

Maybe, just maybe, I should not have blogged that I was missing some "me-time" during the school holidays...I had plenty of that before the rest of the house woke up, I was awake from 3.30am! It felt peaceful having a coffee in the garden watching the... Read more

Last night was a loooong one. T was, I think, over tired and a bit warm so, despite his melatonin he didn't settle until very late. Whilst it was nice to have some Mumma-T time, we ended up watching old episodes of "Birds of a Feather" which he found... 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. 🐷
