An Autistic Author

One thing that I still am not able to get over is the whole socialising scene. It's so easy for most NT people in the world, I mean come on, we're humans we are made to to be around each other. 

Well I realise that I have many readers that are from all over the world and I just want to say happy thanksgiving to all of my american readers.

Well first things first, as you may have noticed I have created a new page on my blog, pop over and have a look. The page is just a few sensory toys that I think could be helpful to parents with a child on the spectrum. With that being said many people, even adults with autism find various sensory toys fun and engaging.

Well here I am again not able to sleep, I have to admit that the inability to sleep is my main problem with being on the spectrum, there are many things that could bother me about being autistic, but lack of sleep is one of the work aspects.

I’m starting to feel better which is a good thing because I am well and truly sick of being, well, sick.

Hello everyone, if  you're  new welcome to my blog and I hope  you'll  be sticking around, if not thanks for reading. Recently I haven't been posting much and that's because I'm not well.

I really don't know what to say, so I'll just wing it. I have no answers, just experience...

I find it strange that autism is still treated as if it is strange or uncommon, but in fact in the UK autism affects 1.1% of the population. This means that there is more than one autistic person for every one hundred in the country.

As you may know one of the forms of autism that I have is called ODD, or Oppositional defiant disorder.

The right school, it can't be said strongly enough how important the right school is.

Hi, I'm Blaze, I am the mother of an amazing little boy with autism and a rare genetic disorder and a rare disease, my son also has a brilliant sense of humour, the most compassion I've ever seen in a little boy and loads of love. Ben has asked me to write a success story every week for success Sundays. I don't identify myself or my child in my posts because Little D is not old enough to understand to give informed consent, but people who know us will know who we are, he's hard to miss.  Well, this week was bonfire night. Unlike some children with autism, little D absolutely loves loud noises, what he can't stand, however, is a lot of different noises at once, so if he is in a crowded place and loads of people are talking, there's traffic noise and noises of people going about their fault lives, he tries to listen to every single noise at the same time and it completely overloads his senses.  Recently I was talking to Ben about little D's super hea

I'm  sorry that I had to cut the post short yesterday but I have something that I needed to deal with otherwise I  wouldn't  have hesitated in  completing  this post, with that said I think having time to think about what I'm going to say in the post has helped me decide how I want to structure the post.

This post has been the child of a full days worth of research, it is unusual that I need to perform research on any of my posts as they tend to be written simply about my life, feeling and  experiences . Whereas this post will be about medication.

As some of you my know yesterday was a pretty  rubbish  day for me. It was just one of those days that made me wish I didnt have autism, that I was just NT.

So today I has my doctors appointment with the mental health team and I have to admit that it was not worth the stress I gave it.
