ADHD intuition – The world’s secret communication force – and why we should listen to it…
Across the airwaves, in living rooms, cafes, offices, schoolyards throughout the land, tiny networks of sparking ADHD intuition are leaping synaptically from one brain to another, sending out tendrils of communication, recognition and energy. If the power of such a network could be harnessed, we would be the equivalent of a global wind farm.

How to spot Neurotypicals in the wild – Part One: Physical Oddities
It is not clear how the neurotypical is able to navigate fully without the useful rebound effects of doorways and table corners, but it must lead them to feel very disorientated to keep missing things wherever they go… Their dance function appears to be largely broken, or working intermittently, and is only triggered to produce small and infrequent bouts of dancing at occasions such as family weddings.

Walking Diaries*Autumn*The secrets of the mountain..
A journey into a cloaked landscape. Skies overcast with the palest of greys have rendered a flat, still light, hiding the depth and contrast of the hills. It is like nature, in the midst of its magnificent tumble into autumn, has chosen to have a little snooze - to rest a moment from the bustle of the season - retreating under the grey anonymity of the stratus clouds.

Random reasons to love life this Friday:

When cats say something in a funny meow.
Slippers.
A surprise whole bit of chocolate where there should be wafer in an unnamed bar.
Leaves floating by windows like magical portents.
Badgers. No further explanation needed.
