Lots of updates recently to my Basic Reading pages (Word List Builder, Blending Practice, Sound Checker, and Sentence Creator). They should better match words with the sounds students will practice. For example, the pages now deal with "magic e" and vowel teams more accurately.

Creating #SensoryGardens for #Neurodiverse Individuals: A Guide to #Inclusive #OutdoorSpaces
By Elena, Sep 23, 2025
"Imagine a #garden that doesn’t just ask to be looked at, but to be felt. A place where the rustle of leaves is a gentle song, the scent of #lavender is a calming blanket, and the texture of smooth river stones is a quiet anchor. This is the essence of a #SensoryGarden designed for #neurodiverse individuals—a space that understands that we all experience the world in beautifully different ways.
"#Neurodiversity is the idea that variations in brain function—like #autism, #ADHD, #dyslexia, and others—are natural, human variations. Not deficits. And for many neurodiverse people, sensory processing is a key part of that experience. Some folks are #hypersensitive, where a buzzing bee can feel overwhelming. Others are #hyposensitive, seeking out #IntenseSensoryInput to feel regulated. A well-designed sensory garden caters to this entire spectrum, creating a sanctuary that can reduce anxiety, improve focus, and simply provide a much-needed refuge from an #overstimulating world."

Taking Stock: 26 Little Snapshots of My Life and the Blogging World
‘ Taking Stock‘ is a fun, clever way to capture what’s happening in your life right now, using each letter of the alphabet as a prompt. I’m not sure how long this idea has been around, but when I read Debbie’s post on her blog, Deb’s World, it instantly caught my imagination, and I knew I had to give it a try myself.
In her latest ‘Taking Stock’ post, Debbie says she likes to pause every few months to take stock of the little things in her life, as they are sometimes the best bits. I agree!
To answer the prompts, she likes to give herself a few moments to process the words and avoid overthinking them. She then finds suitable photos to add. Debbie does these posts every 3-4 months.
Here goes – my first ‘Taking Stock’ post.
Admiring: Those bloggers who followed me by changing their blog’s theme to a Block theme. I haven’t come across anyone yet who has reverted to a Classic theme. Well done to the bloggers who have made the switch.
Believing in myself: Because of my dyslexia, I don’t usually accept beta-reading offers. But when Marsha Ingrao told me her book was about blogging, I jumped at the chance to beta-read it. It boosted my confidence big time. Thank you, Marsha.
Curious by: I’ve seen some great cloud formations recently. I love that all my photos and information are stored in the clouds. But what happens when it rains?
Is this where all my photos are stored?Decluttering: I love decluttering and have been doing a lot of it over the last few months. It leaves me feeling calm and positive. And look at all that free space! Wow! Not even my blog has escaped. Do you enjoy decluttering?
Excited by: It’s that time of year again. The Eurovision Song Contest takes place on 16 May in Vienna. I’m not sure about the United Kingdom’s entry this year. It’s different, and different can deliver good results, but how many points would you give it?
https://youtu.be/niMKvJ-Itq8?si=ySzj5mWS4W0S_MNJ&t=7
Flabbergasted: I’ve finally convinced myself I don’t need to keep up with fashion trends after seeing this. How do they sit down in some of those outfits?
https://youtu.be/zXCHO7lpCfQ?si=WN71VgrLLVch3Xzn
Grateful for outdoor space. I’m not green-fingered. Thankfully, I have a partner who is.
Horrified by the recent election results in parts of the UK. What on earth is going on? Some parts of society seem to want to go back to the 1930s.
Ironing: My best ideas for blog posts and flash fiction come to me when I’m standing in front of an ironing board. That’s why I enjoy ironing. Where do you get your best ideas?
Juggling time between blogging and life can be difficult. I see bloggers struggling with it all the time. Finding the perfect balance can be challenging, but it can be done. Step back, and you’ll soon see how to do it.
Kindness: This quote struck a chord when I saw it on Bluesky recently. If only all humans were like this. Please be kind to one another.
https://bsky.app/profile/chriswriter.bsky.social/post/3mlazbkfgj223
Listening to music, I used to play when I was a DJ in various pubs and nightclubs in London, where I loved filling dance floors. It was an achievement I loved. Now, some of that music helps me write. Do you have a music playlist?
Mood: I’ve always been a positive person. The glass is always half full. Don’t let others drag you down with their negativity. They aren’t worth your time.
Noticing: The nights. They are getting much shorter in the UK. On June 21st, the sun doesn’t set where I live until 21:37, so we will have over 18 hours of daylight. I still find it strange to go to bed when it’s not pitch dark.
Ordering less online: It’s convenient, but when I do go to the local high street and see how many shops are vacant, it makes me feel that I have been part of the problem. Support your local high street shops.
Puzzled by: I’m still trying to work out why WordPress changed the name of ‘Reusable Blocks’ to ‘Patterns’. It doesn’t make sense. If you’re still using the Classic editor, you won’t have any idea what I’m talking about.
Questioning bloggers: I’m delighted with the response to the questions I asked in my previous post. The main question was ‘How often should you publish blog posts?’ The responses make interesting reading and have many bloggers thinking. Why not join them?
Reading: I’m reading my first book of 2026. Dyslexia means I prefer to watch rather than read, but this book has sparked my interest, especially when I spotted myself on the front cover. It’s non-fiction, fascinating, with some humour thrown in. What are you reading?
Still pleased that I started cutting my own hair in 2013. The hair clippers cost me £49.99. When a barber last cut my hair that year, it cost £7.50. Now that’s what I call a satisfying cost saving. Do you cut your own hair?
Thankful to be able to smile again after having two front teeth replaced with implants. The two offending teeth were removed last July. It’s been a long wait for the bone to fill the gaps and grow around the implant sockets. Now I can share smiles with others again.
Understanding that not everyone will agree with me. But please try to disagree in a professional and friendly manner.
Very thankful that bloggers continue to share my blog posts. Whether it’s on social media, by linking to one of my posts, or simply by mentioning me by name, I’m always delighted when people tell me that reading one of my posts has helped.
Wondering how I won a pair of boxer shorts in a competition I entered to win a year’s supply of teabags. But I guess I should be pleased to have won something. Have you won anything recently?
eXtra special: Yeah, I cheated here, as I couldn’t think of anything that begins with the letter X. As Debbie says in her post, ‘don’t overthink it!’ So here’s a photo of Austin, who is eXtra special to me.
Yearning for you to read my latest story for the Story Chat feature on Marsha’s blog. Honestly, it’s very different from what I usually write and from the other stories I’ve written for Story Chat. It goes live in September.
Zooming in on how good it is to be part of the writing world, given that I have dyslexia. Your support and encouragement have been a big part of the journey. Thank you!
As you can see, this little “Taking Stock” exercise has given me plenty to think about, smile about, and even scratch my head over. I’d love to hear how life is looking from where you are right now. Which of my answers resonated with you most? If you picked just one prompt from this list—Admiring, Believing, Decluttering, Grateful, Wondering, or any of the others, what would your answer be today?
My thanks to Debbie at Deb’s World for the inspiration to write this post.

Research into MBTI® type, neurodivergence, and neurodiversity - A report from The Myers-Briggs Company [2024]
This seems to be an interesting and quite recent study that differenciates [in a very respectful way!] between participants that self-diagnosed and those who have an externally validated diagnose.

After the Kemical Baddie Toey Partly confluence coverage, there is Dyslexic Chat about dyslexia being a superpower and essential for the new world of AI tools and AI development due to dyslexics having visual problem solving and their being uniquely able to use those AI tools to make connections that non-dyslexics would be unable to make ... as GCHQ has found.
(And, no, that last bit is not me being on my #UsualBullshit 🧐.)

:sparkles_bisexual: :BlobCat_Kirby: :BlobCat_KindaSus: x_cyanide_x :A_BlobCat_CozyWave: :A_BlobCat_Googly_Party: :sparkles_bisexual: @[email protected] ·CW: CW: Neurotypicals Treatment of Neurodivergent people and ablelism
When I was growing up, I remember how much I was infantilised so much esp in terms of not being able to do what neurotypical kids were able to do like go to sleep overs at friends houses, not allowed to go to friends house on my own, not allowed to walk to school on my own, not allow to get a shower on my own (cuz apparently I could not do it right) not allowed to have my own bank account (until I demanded my dad to revoke the ownership of my account to me) and also requiring teaching assistants everywhere and given easy school work (despite being more capable of doing work neurotypicals do AND I HAD TO DEMAND TO TEACHERS THAT I COULD DO SUCH WORK) etc etc
All cuz I was deemed “special needs” aka too incapable of doing things “normal people” can and therefore I wasn’t meant to have a life I have, cuz I was never meant to be independent, due to stigma I’ve faced not cuz of other but by how my own people, supposed “my family” were meant to care for me, yet did far more harm in general.
I remember the bullying I received and being called “retarded” very often and how much it hurt so much, I didn’t even tell my next school, that I had autism cuz I was so ashamed of it due to the trauma I had with it and I remember just wanting to like get rid of it so bad, I was doing anything to get rid of
When I realised this now, and I think about the problematic things I did and wild things I did in the past. It just makes sense. No wonder I was completely out of control, cuz of how people have poorly treated me and I was acting out as a way to gain control of my shitty surroundings and myself.
We need to stop treating people who have disabilities and invisible disabilities as if they aren’t capable of anything, cuz honestly we are far more capable than you think and the more restrictions and discrimination we face, the more trauma and resentment it will bring, which harms future generations too.
And also stop fucking babying us as if we don’t know shit either.
I’m sick and tired of it.

Did you know how much money disabled people get, after many strict appointments and justifying their needs to uninformed ableist people? https://www.gov.uk/pip/how-much-youll-get
This is AT MOST. It takes a lot of appointments, waiting, explaining, asking, Mandatory Reconsideration, Appeal Tribunal, and luck that they believe you this time because you legalesed your way into the right side of respectability politics.
But ONLY SO FAR and no further, because, clearly, then you’re just “trying it on” to avoid work, and not for any other possible reasons, right? Like. Idk. Being unable, or perhaps, dis-abled from doing so.Sorry if I didn’t get your condition, health status, disability, injury, illness, or infection in the hashtags.
IDK if there’s a limit, but your experience is real, regardless.(Also my brain is like a strange car that is very fast but only at random times and sometimes on certain roads, but not the same road and times because idk. Vibes I guess??)

Hi there Mastodon!
I'm Ashley. An avid #wetland wonderer with a passion for Bdelloid #rotifers and biotic interactions within freshwater systems. Entering my 3rd year of undergraduate study as a mature ager with way too many research ideas brewing for my post grad journey. I've recently plummeted into the wonderful world of pollination, native pollinators, sonication, and....wasps...wasps, wasps, and wasps! Is a kooky blend of smarts/creepy/sweet/& cheek with a side of #dyslexia.
