I thought I would write a blog post about my trip to Amsterdam back late November this year! For a long time, I had wanted to go and explore the city. To look at the beautiful architecture, visit the art and history museums and to learn the history of the city, especially about WW2. But […]
Autistic people can take figures of speech, jokes or even conversations quite literally. For example, when I was younger I was given twelve strawberries. I didn’t want to eat all of them so my teaching assistant at the time told me to “Just eat half of them”. Most people would have just eaten six and […]
The world can be a loud place for an Autistic person. The noises we hear can frighten and overwhelm us. Most people think we get effected by the big, sudden sounds which of course do upset us. But we can also get overwhelmed by noises that others don’t pick up on or can’t hear at […]
Dearest Reader, Before I start, I would just like to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who read, liked, shared and especially commented on my last post. The amount of words I received was overwhelmingly lovely and honestly, made me very emotional! I’m still speechless! I hope your well and […]
As well as being diagnosed Autistic, I was also diagnosed with Dyspraxia. Dyspraxia is a condition that effects movement and co-ordination.

I knew I was different from a very young age. I knew I saw the world differently. Why did certain noises upset me but not others? Why was it challenging to make friends? Why did I hate and get overwhelmed by the feel of jeans against my skin? Even though I was diagnosed with Autism […]
Happy New Year! 😊 🎉 I hope you had an amazing time wheather you went out or stayed in celebrating. I’m not sure where 2017 went, I did so much in that year from passing my driving test, getting a car, turning 21… I can’t believe it’s over!! I’ve made a few goals for this year, some new […]
Sometimes we all need a break from our busy life’s and to escape the madness of just, well everything! As much as I love a good old summer holiday, going on holiday in the winter months is by far my favourite! Everyone’s at work and school, the places you want to visit aren’t packed with […]
Hello everyone, hope your doing well!😊 Last weekend was by far one of the best days ever! It was something I wasn’t keen on at first due to my anxiety and my heightened sensitivity, but I’m so happy I went as it turned out to be a lot of fun! Last Saturday, the little town I […]
