When I hear the myth that says children on the spectrum aren’t in tune with their own emotions or other people’s emotions I smile… That couldn’t be further from the truth for my children. The beauty of the spectrum is that its so wide, no two children are the same. Some might have difficulties or do they? Do we just perceive that to be the case? Last day of term was upon us. It always seems to be a tear jerker for lots of people but not everyone. Children moving from nursery to primary school, primary school children moving…

Do you ever worry about the future? What will my life be like? What will my children be like? Will we be ok? Yeah the usual kind of stuff. I’m not going to pretend that I don’t worry about anything but this week I was reminded that worries take care of themselves and everything has a plan and the pieces of the puzzle will be found and slot into place at the appointed time. Growing up I think I worried about everything. I didn’t have much confidence and I had very low self esteem and my worries were genuine to…

Sports day hmmm… I’m not a fan of it now but I used to love it as a kid. Maybe because I was a fast little thing and usually came 1st, 2nd or 3rd in my races.

So he chooses table tennis doubles competition cos with his friend partnership they the ability to wipe the floor with all the other…

I will give you, life as it is for us, the highs the not so highs, the fun and the opposite. My hope is you will get up close to MrsJK and through my eyes gain an understanding of the treasures in my world which will hopefully spread awareness of lots of issues and possibly be an encouragement to some. I’m not here to give you advice just an insight…

A day in the life living and working with special beings on the Autistic spectrum… Today wasn’t day off Thursday so off to work I went. It was a very productive day but equally a bit hard cos I knew it wasn’t my day off Thursday. I dropped off the kids to school on the way to work but before I left I asked MissJK to send recorded messages to her godmothers as two of them both share the same birthday. She sang sweetly on one of them but the other she sang the first verse in a sweet tone…

A day in the life living and working with special ones on the Autistic Spectrum…. Its Saturday..! Started early 4am I’m most productive before the sun rises so with the clocks changing this means earlier than last season… But went to bed early last night so it was all good. I thought I was the only one that was up at what a clock but had text conversations with a few other people who were also up. Yeah there’s lots of us out there! I was doing some research for something I need to act on now. Watched tutorials until…
