My first blog post!

Hi and welcome to my blog.

A bit about me. I live in Hertfordshire, UK, have been married for 32 years and have two wonderful sons. I love crafting, jewellery, reading and entering competitions. I have suffered from depression since 2003, although it probably started a long time before that but went undiagnosed. In 2013 I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. That diagnosis changed my life and gradually my mental health improved. I was discharged from the CMHT in September 2013 which was a huge deal for me, having been under their care since October 2003.

I'm proud to say that I've received 2 certificates of 100% attendance at work since September. My attendance over the past 10 years has been really bad so this is a huge achievement for me.

I'm a Specialist Teaching Assistant in a primary school. I work in a Speech and Language Base. I love my job and find it hugely fulfilling although sometimes I'm happy to have a grumble about it.

Having Asperger's Syndrome presents all sorts of challenges and problems for me, the main one being social situations and relationships. I have my own, unique view on the world which I'm hoping to share with you via my blog.

Look forward to seeing you again soon.
