Hello, and welcome back to The Autistic Writer. I hope you're all well. I've had another mixed week, marred by the disappointment of not getting the flat I wanted, and by having to attend more medical appointments than I would have liked (one is too many), only to find I need further tests. There's not … Continue reading Part 78: Putting Out the Fire

Part 77: The Burden
Hello, and welcome back to The Autistic Writer. I hope you're all well. Me, not so much. This week's blog post might end up being a bit shorter than usual (but hopefully just as lively as ever) as I'm not feeling particularly well, just now. I've been struggling with a physical health issue for a … Continue reading Part 77: The Burden
Part 67: It’s Not You – It’s Me.
Hello, and welcome back to The Autistic Writer. It snowed! Did it snow where you are? As I write this paragraph, I'm snowed in, and I just can't get my home warm. It's looking pretty picturesque out there, but the problem is, I won't be able to get my car out, and I've only realised … Continue reading Part 67: It’s Not You – It’s Me.
Part 66: Infinite Primates
Hello, and welcome back to The Autistic Writer. It's good to have you here, and I hope you're all well.

Regular … Continue reading Part 66: Infinite Primates

Part 63: My Personal Bellero
Hello, and welcome back to The Autistic Writer. It's good to have you here. That last week seems to have gone by in a blur, and definitely not in a good way.

Part 62: What the Fuck?
Hello, and welcome back to The Autistic Writer. Thanks for being here. How the fuck are you? And, why am I swearing? All will be revealed... But let's have a catch-up, first. I've now completed my second full week in my new flat, and it still feels like there's loads to do. I seem inordinately … Continue reading Part 62: What the Fuck?
Part 57: In With the In Crowd
Hello, and welcome back to The Autistic Writer. I hope you're all as well as you can be. I'm not so well. As I'm writing this, I'm in the throes of a hellish head cold. It's just a cold, not covid; my lateral flow tests are negative and I'm double-jabbed, having levelled up to Autism … Continue reading Part 57: In With the In Crowd
