“Cuddles are the best, aren’t they? She said with a smile on her face. Nothing better than being a friend. And getting the cuddles you need.

There is a common reality that nearly all parents/carers/guardians of autism face. I don’t know if you know but there is often a problem with people on the spectrum regarding food.

I don’t know if I have told you that one of the things I enjoy is watching wedding things on tv. And sometimes they can be stressful because of the person.

Johnathan wanted me to talk about getting moving. When you want someone on the autistic spectrum to move.

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.

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.

There are so many people on the spectrum that are good with learning science, indeed for some like Einstein was and that I am grateful for all the work he did for science.

We have been having a challenging time recently with Johnathan. Kevin came up with 3 things that Johnathan needs to do to be good.

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.

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.

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.

Today I had a, let me say an unusual predicament. I had a line of one of my poems and each word was lined up nicely on the left hand side.

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

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.

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.
