An Autistic Author

Honestly right now I'm finding it hard to write. I'm not sure of the reason, if it's a lack of motivation due to having such a low mood or if it's related to the slowing of traffic that my blog has been experiencing.

Well its the 2nd week of the school holidays. After a whirlwind first week with pretty much the entire contents of my house strewn all over the living room at some point, the boys dad and I decided we needed to get our butts in gear and sort out some visual support for William in the hope of staying sane over Summer.

I'm really struggling to think about how I want to write this. If you follow my twitter you'll know that my grandad passed on the 17th of July.

We've been away this weekend to a gathering of Simon's family in Wrexham. Many of these people I'd been told about in the past, but had never met.

Hi guys! I’m Amanda and I’ll be filling in for friendly Friday! I’ve been given no guidance on what to write so I’m sure this will be extremely random! So friendly Friday…

Hello everyone, The amount of information that I can post right now is limited but I have a family member who is in hospital right now.

It's been a hard week. Really hard. I've not felt too well, I'm grumpy and I'm tired from all Williams night awakenings and early mornings.

The first Friendly Fridays post, I have no idea what I want to post about. There are so many positives that come with having autism. Most of the time you see that everyone talks about the downsides that come with autism. Well today will not be like that.

Today's post will be the first Wild Wednesday, basically Wednesdays posts will be about anything. Nothing is set in stone. I'm trying to make it easier on myself to come up with things to post about.

The end of a school year is just around the corner, and Williams school report arrives in a brown envelope. I prepare myself for tears, as is usual practice when reading a report on Williams development.

Yesterday I went to my old college St John Rigby with Claire. It was good to see all of the staff there and catch up. I never really realised how much I miss being there.

So today I went to the monthly coffee morning that is hosted by love autism. For those of you that don't know love autism is a local support group created and ran by parents of autistic children.
