23rd December 2017 With it being Christmas this week’s blog will be a shorter one, a bit personal, weird and maybe interesting. I was thinking of my Autism in terms of numbers the other day, so I thought it would be fun just to list Autistic facts about me in numbers and it might get

17th December 2017 As an Autistic, I love repetition. As an Autistic, I love repetition. This week’s blog is all about repetition when it comes to media.
