A New Horizon Approaches...

I am not usually scared of anything. I will do almost anything which involves a risk, just to see the outcome to enable me to store the data I collect can be used again. For example if I jump out of a tree so high, will I injure myself, and if I do, I can use this data the next time I am forced to jump from such a height. There are, as there always is, a few exceptions to this rule. They revolve around the damned "Wiring" in my head being tangled and not in th right places (A textbook description of any ASD) The wiring in my particular head gets particularly tangled when it  comes to social interactions. For 3 secondary schools (Years 7-10) I was unable to fit into a school environment. I was violent and aggressive towards other pupils, my family and very nearly a teacher. Bearing in mind that at the time I was one of the most scrawny lads you could have imagined, I was bullied to very close to my limit.
Then I stumbled across a gem of a school, a school where, after a short duration, I was accepted. To this very day I do not know how. This gem was my school for nearly 3 years (The longest I had ever been to a single secondary school) The school offered everything I could ever need, great staff who went out of their way to help students and also great pupils, of whom seemed to be my first ever friends since year 4. I even started playing Rugby whilst there, and played for the school.
But then a ripple started to spread. I do not know of the origins and neither do I know when the repercussions will end, but I was forced to leave my home. I was forced to leave the only place I felt safe and welcomed, for an unknown reason. To make it worse I was being moved so far away from the area that attending the school full-time was/is not possible. So I am being forced to attend a local school. The day after my last post (When I was accepted as a "guest" pupil) I went in for a "taster" (A tour and tutor time with the pupils.)
This was a nightmare, as it would be for anyother ASD child. I was thrust way out of my comfort zone, to meet new people, with whom I had no connnection with whatsoever, for I did not know any of the pupils previously, or through mutual friends. This time is stressful enough for neurotypicals, but for me it made me want to run away. To get the quickest bus back to my Grandparents, from where I could grab my already set aside "grab - bag" containing everything I could ever need to sustain myself indefinately. I managed to last until the end of the form time which I had been told to attend, and then I returned to my Grandparents.
Oh dear reader, it seems that I am unable to express my feelings in any other way than of through this blog... I apologise and I would not blame you if you did not return! I will write soon, probably, so until then comrades...

A new dawn...

Today marked the next stage in the movement to Devon. I went into the local school today, Bideford College, for a meeting with the head of key stage 4. The meeting went well, and after a short tour of the school I was sat down with my Grandfather and we filled in the necessary forms so as I am now a student at the school. It does mean, however, that I will have to return to Leicestershire to do a majority of my exams. This means both happy and sad news for my comrades in the county as I will be returning for a short period of time, but I will then spend the rest of my education in Devon.
I hope this is well recieved...

Another good day!

Today was good. I was kept fully occupied by a day at my cousins. To start with I beat them both at monopoly whilst sat on a silly balance ball thing... Is there anything I can't do?!? (Maybe sarcasm...!) and went on to lose them on a game called COD?  But hey, we enjoyed it and that is what is needed! After this I was introduced to a silly program called; "Take Me Out" which was an awful mix of men making a pratt of themselves andwomen forgetting to wear much more than a slip of clothing!
I feel that as things go in the world, the current situation in Egypt is extremely uplifting as after just 18 days they have changed the course of their history, with very little violence or damage to property. An amazing feat in a country of 79,089,650 to have as little as 200 deaths in what was a revolution! An amazing feat! I also wish to congratulate the England team after another successful game today... 59-13 to England! Score indeed!
I shall leave you with that my online comrades...
And three cheers to those lucky revolutionaries and Rugby player!

A Better Day

Today was one of the better days in the past few weeks. I took a few photos today, which made me feel a little happier than I was feeling after my run!

After I went into town with G'dad and had a look in Jessops and in the other camera shops which made me feel even better!

In all, my online fellows, a good day. However I cannot avoid the fact that I am not to live at "Home" any more. But the days are getting better, and the down days are spreading themselves out... As they say "Things can only get better!"

Another normal day...

As the title subtly suggests, today was a little average, to say the least! I did about nothing, but I did recieve a nice email from my teacher detailing all of the nice work I am to complete... Fun! I also recived news of the terrible illnesses which are plaguing my Mother and Brothers. It appears that as a legacy I left my Mother and smallest brother a cold. And my other brother, has a face which has mysteriously swollen with no apparent reason... (Apparently it looked like a black eye) And all the doctor could do was prescribe antibiotics... Lucky I left when I did! I went for another run this morning witht the same load and route but in nicer weather conditions!

Well tarar for now followers... I shall update you soon!

Put title here

Another same old day, I went for my run without incident. Well, bar the VERY strong headwind threatening to blow me over everytime I was in the open - Which was for the most part, as I was running on the burrows! And the blinding rain did nothing to aid my progress along the dark path. But there is no darkness that my trusty Maglite will not burn through! I think I managed around 1.5 miles out and then the same back home. Home was a welcome relief with a warm shower on demand. Other than that it was an uneventful day!

Today was another same-old day... I woke at the crack of lunch and after a light spot of lunch I set up my stereo in my roomso I can listen to my "Tunes" in high quality rather than through my earphones which limit the area I can be from my laptop! Not much else happened apart from the planning for my run tomorrow (I am going to fill my backpack full of rocks and run as far as I can before I cannot go on!) I have decided to take my backpack with the wide supports so as the load is spread more evenly and there is less of a risk of the straps fallling apart!
