About Me

Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by

I’m a 30 something year old married mum to a very active and clever little boy, J who’s 6 and has ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder).

I spent almost 2 wonderful years living in beautiful Australia with J and my Hubby before life forced us to return to the UK. We loved life in Australia and are now trying to love life once again back home.

I entered the blogging world in 2010 and use my blog to document my journey in life. I blog about life with Autism, Parenting and all things in between…………..life’s an adventure! I’m a keen photographer so look out for lots of pictures. I’m also happy to be contacted to post reviews, providing the items I’m reviewing are relevant to us.

I may post some complete and utter rubbish but hopefully I’ll also post some interesting stuff so please feel free to comment honestly.

I don’t know what I’d do without my Mum 5 mins down the road, so I feel for you not having your friends and family close. But good on you for being so brave and being so far from home. I am sure it wouldn’t be easy-keep up the good work! Will be reading to see how you go!

Hi *waves*
I’m Fi and I live in Oz and I am born and bred here
I grew up in the country and now live in the city and I have to agree with you. People are so damn RUDE! I don’t have any family here either but at least mine are only 6 hours away not overseas. I feel for you
I promise we’re not rude like the people you came across before!

I have 2 kids with autism myself and blog about it too. I’m happy to have found your blog. I’m loving what I read

hello there
I am visiting you because you visited my blog and commented on my notes from Tony Attwood
I wanted to say hello and thanks for visiting and commenting.
I am Australian and my husband is English, we moved from Australia to the UK in March 2006 and returned to Australia in September 2007. We had planned to be there for about a year to spend some time with his family. To cut a long story short, it didn’t quite work out that way!
Within a few weeks of returning to Australia, were undertaking the process of finding out what was ‘going on’ for our youngest, Perky.
I look forward to reading more of your blog posts.
Cheers,
Amy

Hi there, found you via the Gallery and have left a comment on your scan photo. I have a little boy aged 4 who has just been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome. I’ve recently set up a new blog to cover our ‘journey’.
It’s at http://non-neurotypicalnipper.blogspot.com. I’ll be adding you to my bloglist on there and will pop by to see how you are getting on. Tilly )x

Hello… smiling at you.
I can’t believe that it has taken me SO SO long to get over to your blog.
I am SO sorry. I don’t read too much and tend to stick to a few posts a day.
My dyslexia can REALLY play it up some days and I can’t read at all.
I have enjoyed what I have seen so far so I’m gonna subscribe.
Love and hugs. Lisa. xx
