Seeing as it's the last day of Autism Awareness Month I'd like to take this opportunity to remind folk that we're not just for April. Cheers.    

Just a quick (ranty) update - sorry still getting back into the swing of proper socializing/interactions and had totally forgotten how bloody frustrating it is, especially when dealing with allegedly 'helpful' organisations. So strap yourself in as we journey into the wacky world of (supported) higher education.... Right on! A picture to tie in with the title as some folk are terrified of huge bodies of text.     So the twin engines of destruction are leaving school this year and have been planning to attend college to do the 'supported living' course. Now this involved (last year) them choosing a course they fancied and attending college one afternoon/morning a week - with them getting a taxi by themselves and the like - to get an idea of what to expect. Which has gone pretty well (excluding the fact that of their 3 course choices none were available as they'd cancelled them without saying because - reasons). But not to worry as it's more about getting them out

Celebrating the genius of Gerry Anderson on his birthday with 60 minutes of Spectrum Sounds and Terrahawk tunes in one mighty Mysteron mix.....    

 Pour yourself a coffee, cut a slice of cherry pie and relax with 90 minutes of Badalamenti beats, sinister soundbites and toe tapping tunes to celebrate 32 years of Twin Peaks.    

As an - interesting - aside, just realised that it's 4 years since I started this blog, originally to chart the rise of Autistic Friendly venues in Glasgow seeing as Glasgow City Council seemed really keen on supporting our community.   Well 4 years on and nothing, not even a wee Autistic flag for Autism Acceptance Month ....obviously ours isn't colourful enough. I'm sure the original plan was to be Europe's most Autism-friendly city by 2024...bloody hell we fell out of fashion pretty quick didn't we?
