Enjoying reading and writing has been a lifelong pursuit of mine. In hindsight it was one of my earliest "special interests". Now, since being diagnosed as autistic, my mind turns to whether I should stop. It's a daunting prospect. I feel like I should keep writing. Whether I ever get paid for it again is … Continue reading Writing Now

Autism from the Heart
The autism community needs more acceptance and understanding.Especially acceptance.I've been on a very personal journey recently, at time of writing this (late-April, 2021).

Blog Rebrand
Autism from the Heart, is the working title I'm thinking of for a rebrand of this blog. It feels like now is the right time. I've had this blog for about 10 years. In the past 10 years a lot has happened - especially in the past two years. In 2019 I was diagnosed on … Continue reading Blog Rebrand

Why I Don’t Follow Many Blogs
Recently I went through my (slightly more than 200) followers looking for ones to follow back. I decided not to follow any that were either uninteresting, poorly written or themselves had a lot of followers (say, more than 500). Not to be vindictive, though. Just because I figure someone with a lot of followers doesn't … Continue reading Why I Don’t Follow Many Blogs
