Frinton Primary School 1978. The autistic challenge that was school uniform. The sensory overload of a scratchy jumble sale jumper, a static-fuelled nylon vest, woollen wired pinafore and the torture that was a nylon petticoat – forever riding up and sparking out, as you attempted to keep Mrs Robson happy and hide in Class 4’s book corner. Attempting to focus on the read at hand … Continue reading Essex kid 1978: nylon overload
Being part of the neurodivergent DJing community matters. It’s a community of support, encouragement and reality checks. It’s a community that gets me. It’s my community. And I’m so proud to be part of that community as Harold Heath hosts his acclaimed Brighton Music Conference ND DJing Panel again this year. Expect no filter honesty, a special interest check in, access rider tips and humour … Continue reading Neurodiversity and DJing at BMC2025

I could say I was here to tell you my Outfit Of The Day origin story. But that would make me sound like a right banker. And I’m not a banker. If I were my fight for autistic-appropriate NHS therapeutic support would have been won years ago – with an obliging bank card and a private health insurance provider. No, I’m no banker. Instead, I’m … Continue reading Outfit of the Day origin story anyone?
Age 55 and this summer, I finally fulfilled a lifetime ambition as Queenie and I built our first shed. All 6ft by 4ft of imported wood, gritty roof felt and @wickes essentials, it’s the perfect potter base, a space to call our own as I get to reconnect with a certain slice of childhood nostalgia, the smell of compost, paint tins and odd sods dragging me back … Continue reading Lesbian shed life
Our latest Wildblood and Queenie show is now up on the clouds for your listening pleasure. It’s definitely a solo kind of show as the overload hit me hard and Queenie needed to save this autistic soul from a studio shutdown. One of those shows, one of those days, one of those life’s lead with one of that kind of AuADHD brain. But we got … Continue reading Listen again: 1BTN 08.11.24
So it’s finally happened. We’ve ended up where we belong, in a museum. Yep, we’re that old.
