You're writing your autobiography. What's your opening sentence? My first words are tricky. You see I think I did - Mum and Dad and want and give - , but then I hit a problem. I stopped speaking. I probably came very close to being non-verbal. My parents checked my hearing and such and there… Continue reading First Words

THE THREE
What are three objects you couldn't live without? A pen. A pencil. A sketchbook. With those I can create and work. With those I can disappear into another world. With those I can stim. With those I can live. I can smile. I can cry. I can laugh. I can write. I can draw. A… Continue reading THE THREE
Diagnosis
What experiences in life helped you grow the most? I lived the first 38 years of my life thinking I was mad and lazy and wrong and just not meant to be. I worked differently. I didn't see the world the same. I couldn't hold down a real job, I couldn't hold a boyfriend that… Continue reading Diagnosis

Do you enjoy your job? In what sense? I think asking if you enjoy your job is sectioning off part of your life that maybe you don't need to. Is my job as a cook, cleaner, housekeeper, stock taker, meal planner, present buyer, clothes buyer, fish carer, gardener, writer, artist or support, both mentally and… Continue reading Job…

I like music but don't really have one musician I'm an avid fan of. Really I don't hold anyone in a place… Continue reading Who would I be?
So many
Describe the most ambitious DIY project you've ever taken on. My parents had a twenty-five year plan. They are probably the most tenacious, a.k.a. stubborn, people I know. My parents moved into their first house with only a mattress on the floor and orange crates as seats. They had nothing, in fact my dad had… Continue reading So many
Words…
If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why? There are many words that I hate, most of them seen as slurs or controversial. Just like the ones that have just been cut from Roald Dahl's books. Fat is one I hate, but at the same time should… Continue reading Words…
