In a lot of ways this follows on from my last blog and for me was beautifully summed up in a sentence I read in a book about Asperger’s. What follows might appear as immodest as it is funny: ‘If it wasn’t for aspies the human race would be still sitting around having a meeting […]
For me this is where it starts getting difficult to write without sounding like a big-head as I deal with the next subject, which is ‘Insight’ I worked with a man called Haydn Dennis from Swansea who was not only responsible for training me in the field of architecture but more importantly he led me to […]
In the first part of this series I listed what are for me the positives of Asperger’s Syndrome. I am all too aware of how the negatives affect me (and others).
