Hibernation continued – 3.23pm Sunday December 29th, 2024 I noticed there had been an interest in the condition of hibernation, in relation to space travel I would think? I could likely hibernate for a couple of months and be reasonably alright, although the absence of weight-bearing would have an impact. But the fully functioning ‘initiate… Read More →

Hibernating Squirrels – 5.36am December 29th 2024 Recently, I saw an article speaking about hibernating squirrels. I haven’t read it completely yet, but it raised something that caught my eye. The author/s observed that whilst in hibernation, the squirrels little hand would retract away if being touched. As it happens, when I am asleep, (a… Read More →

Sunday 6th October 2024 I made a brief audio note regarding the above recently and thought I would write further on this. To my mind, Psychopathy is a type of disability. This group didn’t choose to be so, however, and I believe there to be all kinds of degrees (mild to severe) of this condition… Read More →

Eating, Swallowing & Reflux Issues in Rett Syndrome – Sunday 15th September 2024 Having a variant form of Rett Syndrome, my son and I experienced some of these issues and despite the differences, the root cause is the same, so our experience may be helpful or provide some insight to others. I had awful reflux… Read More →

Aphantasia continued – Monday 12th August 2024 I have only recently learned this condition has a name, but I have experienced it for most of my life. I have something very much like a photographic memory, which may set me apart from others with this condition. Previously, when asked  to imagine a pink elephant, blank…. Read More →

I have written of it previously.  I’m not certain if I had this condition from birth, most likely it occurred shortly afterwards when regression first appeared.  I… Read More →

Rett Syndrome and Mecp2 Duplication Syndrome – Thursday 27th June 2024 On Sunday just past, I learnt of Mecp2 Duplication Syndrome. I also learnt that it was given this label in 2005 I believe. I was actually quite shocked and somewhat hurt that it was the first I’d heard of it. Back in 1997, I… Read More →

Neanderthals & Autism – Sunday 23rd June 2024 Yesterday, an article titled “Neanderthal DNA is more common in people with Autism”, I didn’t read the article but did want to make a comment. I think it’s important to point out that there would be people with Autism (or Autistic people) young and old, who do… Read More →

Neanderthals – Wednesday June 19th 2024 In previous writings of mine I have shared some conclusions as to what happened regarding the tragic ending of the Neanderthals. It would have been a most difficult and distressing period and having no technology or understanding of what was occurring for them. It is likely that the very… Read More →

Auburn Hair – Salmiak Cats – Sunday May 26th 2024 The Salmiak Cats’ new coat colour caught my attention. My thought is that this new cat colour occurs, or occurred for a similar reason that Auburn Hair in people originally occurred.  If so, then the new Salmiak cat colour should occur again in the near… Read More →
