Tl;dr: Kia ora all! I don’t often post much about my personal life, but as a parent of two neurodiverse teens, I reckoned that I’d post some of my experience in gaming here on our journey. My daughter was diagnosed with autism almost a year ago and my son is dyslexic/dysgraphia with ADHD like presentation. Both are incredibly bright and very different from each other (my son has lots of friends and is very bright and gregarious if also very lazy while my daughter is very retreating and shy but incredibly driven and motivated). They both love fantasy and fantasy literature, movies and gaming has been a way for us all to connect. Though often what works for one, doesn’t necessarily work for the other. This brings me to my point, I am working on trying to best accommodate the needs of my neurodiverse daughter and include her in an experience that she very much wants to participate in, but often feels frustrated and overwhelmed by. This is an introduction to our journey so far. ...
Woohoo for pie. Surprised Cake hasn't been here yet. I beat him here. Go me.
ReplyDeleteAs for the drama, I'm not sure which you mean but I hope you don't let whatever it is get to you. You know, you'd probably feel better if you let Daisey make you that cape.
Ha.
Yep, it's sad that some people have been forced out by the negativity, but I reckon the best way to fight it is to keep your chin up and just carry on regardless, if you can. So yeah, keeping it light and having some pie sounds just about right to me.
ReplyDeleteWhy not a pork pie? You'd kill two birds with one stone.
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
ReplyDeleteMake mine key lime please. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't even wanna know what pork pie is.
ReplyDelete@Whisk: Get your mind out of the gutter! Here's some pork pie info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pork_pie
ReplyDeleteThe Pork and Cherry picnic pie looks ... well, English, I guess.
I've never actually tried a pork pie. I'm a pretty adventurous eater though so I'd definitely give it a shot.
