Short & sweet 2 mile, rest day run this eve. A walk & end of half term treat for younger two. Plus signs of spring. Lots feels hard currently, but there is so much to be grateful for. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running ##mentalhealth #halfterm #lucky #treat #smallchildlife #dailyjoy

Self care. An hour walk across the marshes, it's always beautiful. Trying to calm the overwhelm that is solo parenting, juggling EHCPs, tribunal, dla paperwork, medical appointments & everyday living. #Norfolk #marshes #lucky #beautiful #keepgoing

"I used to teach that all behavior is communication, and I’m trying to undo that teaching now, as I’ve learned from autistic people that all behavior isn’t necessarily communication." At TPGA. thinkingautismguide.com/2016/08/when... #neurodiversity #BetterWaysThanABA #autism

This is a long, but important read.

The minute small sits down the kittens make a beeline for cuddles on his lap, they are like therapy kittens. #kittensofbluesky #kittensofjoy #misty #bobble #smallchildlife

To the bridge and back. 12 minute swim. Air temp warm, water not so much! Needed that though. Baby geese. #wildswim #swimtounwind #norfolk #lucky

Four overheated miles.. didn't need winter layers 🙄 now heading to a river for a swim. It's Friday. Keep going. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #mentalhealth

These kittens. So much joy. So many cuddles & so much love. All the madthings are smitten with them, possibly my best slightly impulsive adhd decision ever. We have had them a month & they have just slotted in. #kittensofjoy #kittensofbluesky #misty #bonkerbob #bobble #blackcats

Juggling small people, meetings with sendias, dinner, generally trying to adult, meant a run in 2 parts today. It was how to fit it in. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #mentalhealth #runwithfriends #halftermjuggle

50 days of a run & ice bath dip every day. 177 miles run and minimum of 5 mins every day in ice bath. Life has some challenges currently, but doing the things that I know help. #running2keepthecrazyaway #icebath ##mentalhealth #keepgoing

Exploring #norwichsciencefestival this morning. Enjoyed food scientists to the rescue & getting hands on with some equipment. Sadly lots small cdn't access as even though we got there early it was too busy. There is no option to book for quiet hour at the forum this year? Such a shame as there were

5 hump day miles, bits of that felt tough, not enough sleep and feeling yesterdays pilates. On we go. #running2keepthecrazyaway #legorunbuddy #running #runwithfriends #mentalhealth #eatonpark

Why ABA is not a good approach for autistic kids: "Dig deeper. What is going on with the child underneath this behavior? What are the child's strengths, their challenges in this context—their needs? What would it look like to truly support them?" by LearnPlayThrive: www.facebook.com/megproctorOT...
