So, unless you follow me on
Facebook or
Twitter (hint, hint, click click), you'll be surprised there's no full post this week.
Why?
Because I'm a fat lazy sod who decided he liked the blog the way it were and don't need no fancy new regimen to boost credibility or help people......
Obviously.
It's more that the new job has loaded a whole load of training and education into my time table and I am determined and obligated to complete that training in a timely manner and it will give me a good basis for productive work.
I take longer to complete reading and comprehension tasks, like reading policies or doing self directed online learning. Although half the time I think it is simple bone idleness on my part, I do take more frequent breaks and I find more diversion tactics that are synonymous with dyslexia (while it's being mentioned, why is dyslexia so hard to spell?). I'm the worlds greatest avoider of paperwork and book learning.
It's a common tactic for dyslexics, to find something that either delays having to do a task until it's too late or something that replaces that task. I did it in school like nobodies business, telling convoluted stories or chattering mindlessly to delay written and reading work.
Work have given me two weeks to do all the work, so I'm in very good hands.
To add to this, I have not discussed the blog with management or given them details and while it's not a work blog, work as you know features heavily, because it's the activity I do the most. There's nothing saying I have to tell work, but to misquote something I read recently: dance like no one is watching but blog like it's going to be read out in a court. For this reason alone, I want management on board, at least tangentially, before I write about the (amazing) support.
Moving on:
The 2nd of April is
autism awareness day, so let's talk about that.....
It's old, but lighting up blue is seen as supportive for people with Autism, however
Autism Speaks has been attacked as
oppressive. I'm including links because I have not had first hand experience of Autism speaks, mainly because they are American.
In the UK there's a number of charities, and instead of listing them all here, I'm going to add them in as widgets to the site, that way they are easy access.
To any of my international audience, Google is your friend.
Anyway, happy Autism week!
