https://timparamour.com/2016/03/07/the-story-of-the-teaching-crisis
Clear Concise. Convincing. The holidays don’t make up for this. I am part of the Teaching Crisis. In that sentence I wrote the Teaching Crisis with capital letters and a definite article as though it were a well-known, named thing like the Banking Crisis in 2008 or the Abdication Crisis in 1936. It isn’t but it should be. This is the story of the Teaching Crisis. I’m wandering off into the sunset after twelve years. Me dressed as a SATs paper when we still had a sense of humour about it all. Trying to in...

Big Competition Time – Design me a costume! | AutismAmazon
https://autismamazon.wordpress.com/2015/03/17/144
Big Competition Time – Design me a costume! March 17, 2015. If you follow me on Facebook you’ll know that this weekend I went to Em-Con. For those that don’t know Em-Con is a Sci-Fi geek-fest in Nottingham and it was lovely to let my inner-geek run free for the day. It set me thinking that, although rare, I do go to several events throughout the year where I could spread autism awareness by donning my Autism Amazon persona for the day ………… but, what to wear? For your children to use. Step four – sc...

A Week of Firsts and Feels. February 13, 2015. Well, like many autism parents I approach school holidays with dread. The change in routine, being almost housebound for the duration and the fact it’s just me and Whirlwind for most of it – it’s not surprising sleep patterns are disturbed, snappiness takes over and meltdowns are a daily event…….and that’s just me! 8211; today was my respite day and Whirlwind’s 1:1 took him to Wheelgate and I caught up on some bits around the house. Due to the cold...8211; i...

Backhanded Praise | AutismAmazon
https://autismamazon.wordpress.com/2015/02/10/backhanded-praise
February 10, 2015. Those compliments that, to us, just don’t feel like compliments but more like a reminder that we live a different type of reality to them. 8220;I don’t know how you cope, I could never do what you do” – really, like there’s an option? What do you expect me to do, send him back for a refund? Tell me what he’s done at school? Explain how he’s feeling? Let’s just say cinema visits are now a no-no unless gags are made socially acceptable! Not just a little bit? February 11, 2015 at 5:34 pm.
