Has started biting again. I am tired of the world today. I feel like a soldier that’s trapped in a never ending war. I can’t keep up with the demands life puts on me. And the people that are meant to come to my rescue are more interested in pushing paper around then actually saving

Both of my children are smart. This combined with their Autism can lead to some….interesting ideas. I’ve always encouraged them to be curious about the world, I believe choosing to be ignorant is the only real sin and that knowledge of all kinds is important.

In the case of Mental Health and Neurodivergence this seems to mean that someone has been to a one hour lecture that pointed out that we (Autistics, depressed, differently able people) exist.

Sometimes I think there must be one attached to my Forehead. Some sign saying Idiot or Please Kick Me. I don’t quite know how else to explain my bad luck. There’s still a lot of Stigma and discrimination around Mental Health. I once got told by the lady working in a Charity shop that all
