All the poems I include in my blog are already published in journals or taken from one or other of my collections.

If you like the poems on this site then please do consider buying one of my collections. My first collection is hard to get hold of but later collections are available on Amazon. Walking on Tiptoe (Staple First Editions, 1998). Notify me of n...

Ethical Issues | Living with Autism
https://dylanandliz.wordpress.com/ethical-issues
A Ethical Issues for Me. Keeping a blog about the life of a disabled person who cannot give ‘informed consent’ clearly raises ethical issues. Carers of people with limited communication (as is the situation with Dylan) negotiate ethical issues on a daily basis, a process of decision-making and review which means ethical practice is dynamic and continually evolving. Reflects these considerations and my attempt to respond ethically to them. I will benefit from this process of review, which encourages me to...

The Humber Bridge | Living with Autism
https://dylanandliz.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/the-humber-bridge
Posted in Policy and Provision. Before I had my own family I used to say that for every child I gave birth to I would adopt another. This seemed a small but realistic way of balancing the desire to have a biological child with the desperate need of already-born children for a family. S; Dylan needed me and it wasn’t possible to undertake such commitments with him in tow. So I made donations to charity instead; I might not be able to give my time but I could at least do this. Some years ago Dylan and I we...

Ears Are Really Useful Things | Living with Autism
https://dylanandliz.wordpress.com/2015/07/26/ears-are-useful-things
Ears Are Really Useful Things. Posted in Language and Communication. This is not the post I had intended to make this week but, as is often the case, something happened. Ears: I’ve mentioned these before as Dylan has a habit of trying to remove them (other people’s not his own) when he is anxious. I hadn’t realised until this week, however, how useful ears can be. This week’s incident happened at 9pm on Friday night. Dylan was in his room watching. Thomas the Tank Engine. I thought to myself,. July 26, 2...

Elizabeth | Living with Autism
https://dylanandliz.wordpress.com/author/ebarrett293
Posted in A Parent's World. This week is the start of the academic year in England; pretty soon I will be deep in teaching. Although September no longer marks a transition point for Dylan I don’t think I will ever lose the anxiety that the end of summer brings for parents of children with disabilities. Each year I would live on my nerves through the first weeks of term, hoping desperately that all would be well. I’m really glad that I took that ‘ next step. Is there a science to it? As well as the checkl...
