An Otter Saves The Day
My possessions have quite a hard life. My tics mean that my things get dropped, thrown, bitten and squished much more often than other people’s. This means I seek out robust tic-proof items wherever possible.
Take my smart phone for instance – I’ve had one for many years, and right from the start I realised it was going to need some heavy-duty protection.…

The Lottery of Birth

It was a crisp autumn night and the sun had set an hour before as I made my way carefully through the leaves, and through the pedestrians making their way home.…
Care Now
This July marks ten years since I made a life-changing phone call. It was one I’d put off for months and would be the start of a process that’s happening to this day. On 12th July 2011 I called social services about myself – and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.…
