Getting Moving as Autistic Brains
Johnathan wanted me to talk about getting moving. When you want someone on the autistic spectrum to move.
Contemplate
One of the things I have discovered as a positive thing about myself, I guess, is that I tend to contemplate on a lot of things.
Dove of Peace
The dove of peace comes flying in, With an olive branch in his beak, Early in the morning to hear, Now there’s nothing bad to fear.
Challenging Behaviour and Autism
We have been having a challenging time recently with Johnathan. Kevin came up with 3 things that Johnathan needs to do to be good.
Early signs of autism
We were actually quite fortunate when Johnathan was born, because I half expected him to be autistic (there is autism in my family) and I believe Kevin is probably on the spectrum too.
Johnathan And Me
I have been thinking about our relationship and I would say it’s actually beginning to get better, in spite of the double stay in the hospital.
Helicopter Parenting or Natural Safety
There is so much we can think about in our day that is actually rather critical. And we can talk to ourselves about things we think we know about ourselves. But that doesn’t mean that is true.

Belief And Autism Once Again
One of the things I wanted to talk about was something that happened to us this morning. It’s been something we have been dealing with for quite some time.

I’m not really sure how I will write this, It’s a bit unusual, actually and I can’t quite figure out the words to use
Unhelpful thoughts and autism
I thought I would touch on this aspect of autism because this is something a lot of people on the spectrum experience without really understanding that they are doing it.
Sudden Changes and Autism
Johnathan asked me (while I was in hospital) if I could write about changes and I think he’s right so I decided that I would focus on sudden changes.
Busy, busy
Busy, busy, always busy, With far too much to down, When will we ever learn, To slow down and take it in.?
Totally out of my depth!
Hello everyone, My name is Clare. I’m one of Anika's friends. Unfortunately Anika has been readmitted to hospital. She has asked me to let you all know.
Start of November
Well, we have just had Halloween and Johnathan had a wonderful time, decorating the house and outside, having bought two massive tubs of sweets for the large number of children he expected to come.
I can see the light in you
I can see the light in you, The one you think is gone, Creation battles for you, Inspiration for your dreams.
Appointments and autism the third
Now what shall I move onto next. Ah yes, DENTISTS. OMG! Dentists! Bad enough seeing them in the first place for yourself but for a child? ! And one on the spectrum? Oh no!
