Monday 12th May 2025: Breaking the Boundaries

TL;DR – order Breaking the Boundaries here. Hello everyone! As most of you will know, I spend most of my working hours not doing speaking engagements, writing, or updating this blog (perish the thought!). I am a DSA-funded autistic mentor. All disabled university students in the UK qualify for something Read more

An image from a wedding reception. Five people in their thirties are positioned underneath a gazebo. The bridegroom (white, dark hair, dressed up to the nines) is in a cardboard boat, in the centre. With him, a thirty-something year old white woman smiles kindly. Next to her, a thirty-something year old dark-haired white man in a suit is biting his lower lip as he appears to pull down the gazebo. In the centre of the image is Jorik, a 36-year old autistic white gay in a suit wearing his father-in-law's tie, with a face that describes a self-insert teacher character in an Alan Bennett play. To my other side, a white man wearing glasses giving double middle fingers and wearing a facial expression of deep rage. The last man in his thirties is wearing a hat, dark sunglasses and is leaning in a fashion reminiscent of a human doing an impression of a motorbike. These were my colleagues when I was teaching English as a Foreign Language in Oxford, 2017-2020.

Wednesday 6th March 2024: OHMYGOD IT’S BEEN SIX MONTHS!?

Hi everyone! Okay, okay, I can explain. At length, of course! That’s what I do, after all! I’ve been away. Don’t worry, I’m not dead, or in prison or kidnapped and held for ransom. I’m still here, plugging away, and, unexpectedly, really happy! But before I continue telling you where Read more

Monday 8th May 2023: What’s Happening to my Body? #7386

Hi everyone, So, here’s the thing. I’m back in burnout land. It’s not a nice place. I’m not sure what’s going on or what caused it. But here it is. I’m burned out again. You’ll notice I’m oversharing in this blog because, well; burned out, I guess! I do know Read more
