A public service announcement or two.....ongoing lockdown may mean this will last at least a week but then again I might get bored. Sorry.

 Remember that article I wrote re: Blade Runner and Autism?   well... You can read the full article here .

 Enjoy.    

 Issue 2 of the magazine I curate/illustrate along with Scottish Autism is out today and you can download it here .

Got my Covid vaccine yesterday (AstraZeneca if you're interested) so thought I'd pop a few things down that may be useful for any other autie/aspie folk who are worried about getting it. You're welcome. Got mine over at the Glasgow Club Donald Dewar, it's big, bright and the staff are fab - which helps if, like me you're feeling a wee bit stressed.     My advice is to take a wee bit of time when you get there to get used to the various (clinical) smells and sounds as it was a fair bit to take in to begin with plus if like me you find it a bit unsettling to talk to folk in masks (as I've said before I usually focus on folks noses which is impossible now) let them know - I did and the Doctor that dealt with me was really accommodating. And no it doesn't hurt at all. Which if like me you hate needles is a bonus.     The after-effects of the vaccine didn't hit me till about 12 hours later and have ranged from a swollen and tender arm to cold sweat shakes but...

Some of you may have read the open letter to The Scottish Government I wrote t'other week regarding the issues facing special needs families during lockdown so thought I'd follow that post up with their reply.                                                                              Isn't it great to feel wanted?

 A virtual festival this year but that's no reason not to have a poster or two...
