Sorry for the lack of posts over the last month!!!!


Just a quick little post... 


I know I have been lacking in the post department as late, and that is bad of me and this is a way of an apology and even A BIG THANK YOU for all the views and hits I keep getting as I check my stats every week! 


I have been going through a pretty rubbish time of late and coping with really bad writers block as a result of said rubbish time! 
I don't really want to go into any details but a member of close family has just died over two weeks ago with a short and very stressful stay in Hospital but my family member died peacefully in his sleep.

What happened after family member died was just well ... lets just say I stayed away from my blog because I thought I was just going to have a meltdown on here and I've always said that keep your personal life off the internet as many people are not sympathetic and there are trolls hiding and lurking everywhere really!!! 

I am writing a blog post and it's difficult!!! I'm not in the right frame of mind (and I know this sounds like a lame excuse but bare with me!) and I'm getting stressed and anxious about it as soon as I sit down to my computer. 

So this is a little update to say although I have been the worse blogger in the world as of late, I am working on new material and feel free to read old posts if you're struggling with different areas of life. 

I will try and finish this post because I feel awful for not posting recently!! 

Lots of love and hugs to you amazing readers out there!!!

When The Mask Slips Off

Image
It can be difficult in Social Situations to engage and interact with the people you work, socialise and live with.  Many of us use the technique of Masking, which in a sense is copying 'Normal" behaviour but in social situations if the trusty mask slips it can be the most awkward thing in the world and misread by your friends, work colleagues and even to some degree family.  We've all seen many TV programmes now integrating Autistic Characters into their dramas and comedies with the most popular  being Sheldon off The Big Bang Theory, but as per usual there hasn't been a development of Autistic girls in TV programmes due to the lack of awareness and also because when it comes to performing extreme autistic characteristics in forms of behaviour there is a lot more documentation on Males with Aspergers and Autism in general.  Which in a way is ironic, but aside from this Masking is something that I sometimes feel girls do more effectively as there is an ex

The Meltdown Confession

Image
All Aspergers Girls and Boys at some point will have a meltdown!  For those who are confused to what a 'Meltdown' means, it basically is a massive release of anxiety or frustration which can turn violent in many circumstances and for loved ones can be a traumatic experience to see their autistic child/partner lose themselves in a meltdown.  It isn't pretty and it can be frightening for anyone involved including yourself, I hate to say this but when it all gets to much we all fall into the Meltdown cycle.  Depending on how stressful life is at the moment, pressure with exams and other things such as work commitments, family life, grief and other normal daily stresses can pile up on you and make you flip that switch in your head.  It is important to see the signs as usually Meltdowns come from Anxiety or Frustration which manifests itself over time. It can be days, weeks or months worth of anxiety that you think you are managing that can suddenly just release i

Discrimination towards Autism NEEDS TO STOP!

Image
You'd think in the 21st century attitudes towards Autism would finally be one that is positive rather than negative?  But a recent story published online and via various media outlets have proven that still some people's attitudes to Autism are lacking the compassion and understanding and even questioning the equal rights for those who are considered disabled.  Meet Andy Foster, a 45 year old with Autism started working three weeks ago as a waiter in Grenache restaurant in Walken Manchester.  Andy is a passionate and hard working man who when not working in Grenache cares for his elderly mother who suffers from alzheimer's, was discriminated against openly due to his Autism.  Luckily Andy has an amazing employer who was just as outraged and disgusted by the costumers comments and has stood up for his employee following the incident that took place one night.  The costumers complained to management about Andy in particular, and although his service
