Let me try and explain the title of this blog post as clearly as I can. As a person who feels as if they are (in all likelihood) on the autism spectrum, I had a lightbulb moment last night. I watch a selection of YouTube videos by certain autistic content creators. I’m pretty sure that…
Really sorry this is a review as a vlog post but I wanted to get my review up and posted in good time. Right now I’m just too under the weather to write out a review. My apologies. I tried to be as succinct as possible. I had set myself 45 minutes to review it…

I miss that feeling of a bond. It is genuinely the thing that is the most heartbreaking aspect of this whole thing for me. I used to feel connected and now there is such a disconnect – which I feel stems from him, that is why I keep trying to push myself away (with very…

I have to say that I feel as if I am being lured back in by all the content being shared by the Antipodean fans. I haven’t watched much footage. I am still – for the most part – trying to keep myself away from it all. It’s not helping that Mister has been quite…
