Katie Munday - Autistic and Living the Dream

Thanks. These things just seem to take longer and longer these days, but we'll get there.

Just simply *dip* the children 🤣

The school sickness has finally made its way to us. It's Little Man's first year of school, and we have finally got a school sickness.

A 24-hour bug doesn't mean 24 hours in a #ChronicallyIll household.

Our evenings have been filled with wrestling, Boulders Gate, and feeling sorry for ourselves.

Oh, all the dates are sold out, apart from Bexhill. They have wait lists though.

Fab! It was really something. I especially liked the scenes with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. And the grave digger scene. I loved all of it.

She was brilliant. She apparently doing a tour. So definitely should be your way soon?

We saw Suzy Izzard in her one person Hamlet, and she was phenomenal!

What comes under the “Neurodivergent” umbrella? In short, probably more than most of us think! Kassiane Asasumasu, coined the term neurodivergent in the late 1990s / early 2000s, stating that the term included those “Whose neurocognitive f…

You can't be sad listening to The Aquabats.

If all the bots that kept emailing me about how shit my website is *actually* visited my website, my stats would be brilliant 😎

Thanks, you too!

I am keeping my weekends free of work, and that's been really beneficial. More time with my boys :)

If you can't rest, then you might as well get paid!

You've been very busy! Great work but make sure to rest too

Ah fab, let me know what you think!

Crip Kinship, a small blue book with a beautiful cover with colourful flowers and a black person in an orange dress walking with a stick

I started Crip Kinship by Shayda Kafai today. It's been on my shelf for a while.

I'm twenty pages in already and seriously thought about taking it to soft play 😆

I think your blog speaks to the issue of autistic-normativity as well as more general conformity. I really do understand.

Thanks for sharing. Why would you not have the opportunity to contribute? (Feel free to ignore this question)

A neuodivergent, chronically ill trans+ person.

I also *hate* interviews with a passion and so many social norms that I dont understand and hate in equal measure.

Maybe I should do a postdoc...
