All You Need Is…Strength
So why did I get a tattoo with the word ‘strength’ on it? Why did I choose this word? I could have chosen any word but I chose this word. I could have chosen the word ‘love’, I could have chosen the word ‘happy’ or ‘imagine’ or anything really that stands out but no, I…

I’m sat here starting to write this blog post with snow hammering down outside, I’m feeling anxious as anything as I know I have to go out in it today. I’m worried the snow will start settling meaning it makes it difficult to drive, I’m worried there could be something wrong with the car as…

Walking For Wellbeing
How many steps do you do in a day? How often do you get out in the fresh air? How often do you say to yourself “I’m going for a walk”? These questions are so, so important, walking or just simply getting out in the fresh air is so, so important especially if you’re struggling…

Push Yourself Outside Your Comfort Zone
One thing autistic people do time and time again is break outside their comfort zone, whether it be going to a party and having to socialise, catching a bus or for some just walking outside the house.

Why I’ll Always Be A Runner
So many people ask “what is a runner?”, “what is a jogger?”. A runner is someone who goes out and put’s their shoes on and runs. There’s no difference between a runner and a jogger, as long as you’re moving towards a finish line then you are a runner. I’m writing this after not running…
