Part 2: Realising I Might Be on the Spectrum.. Top Story - May 2025.
Earlier this week, I consulted with a professional regarding the possibility of an autism assessment. The response was thoughtful and informative, setting clear expectations about the long waiting times associated with the process. While a private assessment is an option, it comes with a significant cost, and there is no guarantee it will be accepted by all institutions. The professional also took care to inform me of the potential delays so I could make an informed decision.

The White Smoke.
This morning bloomed with sudden talk, Of smoke that rose like whispered chalk. My screen lit up, a sky-bound stream White puffs that curled inside a dream.

The Kiss
I don’t know where we’ll meet— a knock on my door? A stumble on the morning bus? Perhaps he’ll arrive like a whisper, too soft to notice at first. God, I hope not the GP surgery. Not something that clinical. Not something that sterile. This was always meant to burn.

Perfect.
I live in the center of something unshakable. It holds me— not because I earned it, but because I belong. There is no threat. No shadow with teeth, no silence with claws. Even if the sky broke open, I would not flinch.

Book Review: Unmasking Autism by Dr. Devon Price.
Unmasking Autism by Dr. Devon Price is, in many ways, a beautiful and timely book. It is bold in its voice, compassionate in its tone, and groundbreaking in the way it confronts the often-overlooked internal experiences of autistic individuals—particularly those who have spent years hiding their true selves in order to fit into a neurotypical world. For anyone who has ever wondered if they or someone they love might be on the autism spectrum, this book offers an illuminating and affirming journey. It is especially important for families, friends, educators, and those exploring their own neurodivergence.

Presence.
I sang every song in worship, Played my guitar to You— Dear Lord, my Maker, My Defender, My Savior, The Lifter of my head.

Realising I Might Be On The Spectrum (PART 1).
Diary Entry – 5 May 2025 Today, I find myself still questioning everything. The idea that I might be autistic—might be neurodivergent—feels both unreal and deeply true. I sometimes worry that people may misunderstand this possibility, that they might see it as an attempt at ableism or as though I’m misappropriating an identity that isn't mine. But this is not about labels or appearances—this is about trying to understand the roots of my experience.

To Mummy And Daddy.
I wish I could be young again— not to fix what was broken, but to hold you longer, to see you clearer in the days before I understood what love costs and what it gives.

From Studio to Spotify: Help Me Decide How to Release My New Song.
If you’ve followed my work — whether through my blog, past performances, or my creative projects — you might’ve noticed I’ve been quiet on the music front. No new releases. No live shows. Not even casual SoundCloud drops. And truthfully? That was intentional.

Lost And Found.
You talk like you’ve done this before— like directions are beneath you, like you could navigate me by instinct, by ego,

I'll Be Back
I came through the alley, not the altar. Not robes—just boots and scars. I carry no holy book, only memory and marrow.
