How I wish my childhood could have been

Looking back I wish my dad would have taught me how to garden and fix cars and do DIY jobs. 

He encouraged me to read heavy books so I became an avid reader and I'm glad about that but I would have like a more well-rounded education too.

I think he assumed I couldn't learn stuff because of my Autism.

It's too late to change things now. Just a note to any parents out there with Autistic children. Try to give them a chance to learn things, even if they learn at a different pace or in a different way.

  • Sorry to hear you're struggling with this.

    I bet there are some good (maybe even heavy!) books out there that could help you get started on these things. I also heard that Chris Packham is doing some a 'mini springwatch' livestream, so I suppose that might include some gardening tips. It might be worth checking out Slight smile
