• RE: Birdwatching in the garden

    I had a flock of blackbirds (about four and twenty I think) descend onto my garden the other evening.

    The grass was at just the right length - recently cut but with enough regrowth to give them a good tradeoff between visibility and cover, and I think…

  • Misophonia BBC Radio 2

    Just wondered if anyone caught the segment on The Jeremy Vine Show yesterday? It is on BBC Sounds as a catch-up.  It was really interesting, to hear other people openly talk about it. The common link seems to be how the noise turns into anger so quickly…

  • RE: Tea or coffee ?

    2 cups of full caffeine tea with breakfast, 1 decaf coffee at 10:30am (ideally from the local coffee shop) then decaf tea the rest of the day. I try to get my 2 litres of fluid a day so mix hot drinks with 50/50 orange juice, squash or just water. Lately…

  • RE: Benefit claim turning into a nightmare

  • RE: Anew government

    Agree however Labour are as bad they do not like success and my local council which is definately socialist has been very intolerant to my Autism.I find socialism has been intolerant to my Autism and my sisters OCD .We have experienced really stupid comments…

  • RE: GPS Trackers

    Possibly something like the Apple Airtag would be a good bet so long as you are going to be in areas with people around (these require the iPhone network to be detectable).

    These are small enough to put into a securable pocket on your sons clothes.

    I…

  • RE: Autistic girl dragged from home for unknown Food Sensitivities

    This looks good - a starting point at least although it seems fairly high level.

    If this can be expanded over time to include more of the biologu the talks about then it will have a meaningful impact in cases such as the one at the…

  • RE: Let's Talk About Lists

    I name all sorts of things, always have. So scarves for instance: Jason and Emma, pens: Lucretia and Sylvia, my Apple computers always have names though they’ve not always been particularly imaginative : eg Eve, though Sarah Penguin was a fave. My cats…
