Words of wisdom

I only learned this late in life.

Facts and figures

You see, I am not imagining it. The nation's health appears to have made a marked improvement since the Government came to office. And this despite increasing poverty and increasing unemployment (contrary to Government statistics). What this graph really represents is a cynical manipulation of the truth. It betrays the Government's shameful treatment of the disabled and the incapacitated. Shame on the Government. Shame.

Autism (again)

This isn't quite true for me. I don't hate people. I don't really hate anybody. I do feel uncomfortable in crowds though, and I find some people overwhelmingly distressing. I know what the caption means though.

Yet more autism

Do you know what? I've spent my whole life doing this, and used to think I was mad. I'm not mad (well at least not any madder than I think I am), but this is how it is. I live mostly inside my own head. There is limited, superficial interaction with people from time to time. In the outside world I am only fully myself on those too-rare occasions with a very few wonderful, special people, the ones I have become close to.

Unexpected

I went home but felt restless. After all it's such a beautiful day that I didn't want to sit and watch it get dark from my living-room. So here I am back at the library.
I think I forgot to mention that I received the verdict on my appeal. They upheld their decision, as expected. The reply started with all the usual 'He can raise his arms above his head' rubbish. They referred to my individual points without actually acknowledging them. They say that the assessor would have nothing to gain by misrepresenting what took place at the assessment (are they calling me a liar?). My predicament is that I am hugely intelligent, and I speak articulately and intelligently. People simply do not understand how difficult my life can sometimes be.  What the assessor is really doing is obeying the instructions that originated from the Government. She is under orders to fail a certain percentage of people. I know that, because a whistleblower's account was published in the press. The Government is an evil cunt.

The rest of today

I've had enough of the computer for now, so I shall be orf home in a moment. It's been lovely and quiet in the library. The weather has stayed good too. It's been a nice day.
I'm going to slum it with hamburgers for dinner, and after that I expect I'll watch something on the box; dvds that is. They're much better than the programmes.

More autism stuff

Well I suppose so, but what about the anxiety & depression and the fits that come with it?
