Today is #worldautismawarenessday Three years ago I wrote a post about my youngest son Riley. So much has happened since then, and unfortunately we are no closer to a diagnosis due to his Dad refusing to let him see a doctor about it. This means his SATS results were affected as his teacher said that had it been a 'good day' Riley would have done significantly better. Now in year three he gets sent out of class when he needs to calm down but with nothing to refocus his brain, I question how this will help. He still flaps and has obsessions, Space is his main one at the moment. He is noisy but cannot cope with high background noise levels. He says exactly what he thinks, when he thinks it which can be inappropriate at times but he means no malice. He is so empathetic and hates the thought of people struggling and suffering. I will pop a link to my original post in my bio but my message would be to other parents - follow your instincts and don't give up. I don't want a label to define my child, I want it so other people understand him a little better. To me he is my kind, beautiful, funny, intelligent, sensitive boy and that will never change

This morning I have a guest post up all about meal prep and how to make things easier on yourself! Although it focuses on busy parents I thing the tips will be super useful for Spoonies too. I will pop a link in my bio! Enjoy ❤💕❤

Well hello there April... what a strange old month you are going to be!

Ad | Gifted tickets Finally had the chance to show the blog some attention today. Have a few posts in the works so will be sure to keep you updated with what's going up on here too. We were kindly invited by @showcasecinemasuk to the premiere of Zog & The Highway Rat- here is how we got on! Link in my bio!

And for the prosecution I give you... my brother! He is struggling and hating not working bless him. But I have definitely seen an overall 'lightbulb' moment for many folk this last week!

Shared this great diagram from @jo__love__ I'm sure many of you will look at this and recognise the stages. I've already done a few loops of this circle myself! Fear is something I've been studying lately and as someone who suffers with anxiety, it has been really interesting to look at the biological evolution of fear. We have gone through so much in an evolutionary sense but fear, for the most part, boils down to the same as what it was back in the days of the caveman. We still have that basic survival instinct and while we may not be hunted by animal predators anymore, human kind is now being attacked by the Corona virus. While we understand more about this and our scientists are working hard to find a vaccine or a cure, our bodies essentially go into survival mode and we feel this as fear and anxiety. I wanted to share this so you know you are not alone in these feelings and that so many of us are feeling the same way. I want you to know that with very crash, there will be a rise. That we will get through this and there are brighter times ahead. Keep your chin up fellow humans and I'm always just a message away 💕❤💕
