The State of Grace by Rachael Lucas – an #ownvoices review

10th February 2017 by Jax Blunt 14 Comments

proof copy of the state of grace by rachael lucas next to a cup of coffee

Pre order The state of Grace at Amazon (affiliate link). I'd like to introduce you to a girl. We're going to have to pop back in time to the last 70s for this one, but I'm sure we can make it. She's kind of scruffy, not very fashionable. Tends to frown a bit when she's concentrating or … [Read more...] about The State of Grace by Rachael Lucas – an #ownvoices review

Aspergers and sensory overload – my experience

4th December 2015 by Jax Blunt 11 Comments

Very different. Get a cuppa, we'll meet back in half an hour to discuss. Sadly, the original … [Read more...] about Tony Attwood on autism in females – my thoughts.

Aspergers and sensory overload – seeing a different world

24th June 2015 by Jax Blunt 16 Comments

Probably Aspergers, although as the diagnostic differential is to do with language development, and we didn't follow up on that, it can't be a definite. So it actually says probably in my diagnosis letter, which amuses me somewhat. I don't think it … [Read more...] about Aspergers and sensory overload – seeing a different world
