Good Mornington Crescent* This morning I was supposed to go to a day school thingy for my course, but yesterday I was in a world of migraine and now I'm having a lovely postdrome thankyouverymuch. Postdrome is a bit like a hangover for reference. So, but I have a rather clear day, and apart from … Continue reading ADHD PTSD ASC and Me
In the never ending gift of what it is to finally find 'your people' I've woken up this morning and gone straight into the vortex of the lovely aspie women's group I'm in online. We're talking about echolalia and the different words we like to say. Over and over again, because that's how we like … Continue reading Wasps and Crisps
Good morning. Or whatever. It's a different week for me this week which is a bit good and a bit not good. It is a truth universally acknowledged that ASC people NEED routines.

I wonder if I could … Continue reading Writing Course, Week Two – Spotty Cloth, Swimming Pool

I really want a hair grabber though I know I won't be able to get one I like, because I've lost mine and I get too hot, … Continue reading Did I Doodle?
It's time. College is TODAY. I woke up this morning in a state of excitement or worry. What was it? Strong feeling. I had no ideas for writing, I had ideas for moving the fridge and all the furniture in the living room. I got up, and obviously couldn't move fridges. Not a thing. That … Continue reading Hurry Up and Wait – Too Early to be Late
The season has shifted. We've got directional lighting, now. I took this photo on a morning dog walk. The summer of 2018 with it's month of no rain and hints of apocalypse is over, and, after an absence spanning since before I moved to Brighton to now, with very few exceptions, I'm back to writing. … Continue reading Roll Up Your Sleeves, The Summer is Over
