Aspie Adventure

Hi everyone my name is Carl, from Manchester in the UK.

I am currently in the middle of travelling around the Lake District to raise money for the National Autistic Society.  

I have shared this on Facebook but up until now I can't seem to get any views. [link removed by moderator]

And if you like and share please add me as a friend because I need people like you in my life.

I am actually having a meltdown as I type this. Help!

  • Hello Carl,

    I've deleted the link to the fundraising page because it breaks rule 8 of this forum:

    "Please do not post fundraisers to the Community. We cannot guarantee the legitimacy of these posts, which can leave the Community vulnerable to scammers and fraudulent requests. Please use alternative websites or resources if you wish to publicise a fundraiser." 

    However, if this has been approved by NAS, someone will get in touch with you soon.

    Enjoy your travelling!

  • Where in the lakes have you been?

  • Wow! Never seen any badgers but some community members (in my neighborhood) posted some videos of them digging up their garden. I saw a pheasant the other day too, absolutely majestic. It's nice to get out and stretch your legs in nature. Breathe in some fresh air. Very peaceful, and a time to either reflect or make plans for the future. I find a long dog walk in a beautiful area is one of the most mindful things I can do. We go out, have a good chat. We being me, dog and husband. I talk to my dog but I don't have conversations with her, of course!

  • I have seen Swans, pheasants, sheep, deer and this morning when I woke up, a badger poking it's head out of the tall grass!

  • I have heard the Lake District is a beautiful part of the world. I've never been actually. Have you managed to see much wildlife? We have some streams and rivers where I live, and some farms, and it's always nice to see the ducks, swans, cows, etc. We also get hawks and if you're lucky, a muntjac deer. I've seen them a couple of times, they're amazing.
