Do you have Faith?
I was watching or listening to something that asked the question and I began to think about the many ways we have faith and what we have faith in.
Anika’s Thoughts of the week 1
You know, we have to think of our children but the way we do so is key. As Johnathan continues to grow and develop, the way ew parent him changes.
Anika’s pick of the week 10
I want to talk about reading. It is an important skill that is important to teach and the importance of learning to do so.
Reflections On Marriage
I’ve been thinking about relationships lately. Sometimes do you get on well with someone instantly?
Anika’s Pick of the Week
Well, I don’t make things as the month of October reminds me of my six children in heaven and just how grateful I am that Johnathan is here.
Language and autism
I don’t know if you have ever noticed but it happens to me, time and again with both Kevin and Johnathan.
Electronic Games
As some of you have probably realised, I was born before electronic games really took off in the world. The games were (to me anyway) painfully slow and annoying.
Diagnosis or not?
Although I have known Johnathan was autistic since he was about 4 months old and only moved on his back in circles.
Expectation in life
When you have expectations not only the ones you put on yourself, but the ones others believe have on you.
Expectations big and small
I was just wondering if they are the same and would BE the same if they are big or small.
Expectations
I smile when I think about this because there are SO MANY we have in life and meeting someone who has completely different expectations can cause some funny moments.
What do we know about our day?
Actually, we don’t know much about our day at all. Think about it. We plan ahead to see people, go to work, set up holidays, weddings etc.
TALK to someone
As a non-binary person, (someone without autism) I can tell you that when something goes wrong and the chips are down, the FIRST thing I do is TALK to someone.
Anika’s Pick of the Week 8
People can sometimes see life as a game and quite truthfully it is not.
Life can be Different
Life can be completely different because we all end up taking different journeys in life.
Well, I’m BACK.
Hello again, everyone! I feel so much better for the little break I had whilst I dealt with sickness in the family. Sometimes, family takes priority, and that’s just life.
Living in Peace
Do you know when you’re anxious peace does not come easily? You can feel the rising tide and are fully aware that you are not peaceful in the slightest.
