My name is Louise. I was diagnosed with autism in my late forties.
This blog is my journey from late diagnosis, how I navigate the ups and downs of life, and the strategies I use to cope.
I also write about my lifestyle, my life experiences, and raising neurodiversity awareness.
Autism is a spectrum, and it can look different in each person. This is one way autism can present.

Exploring Temple Grandin: A Revolutionary Autistic Woman
I have been doing a lot of reading and watching movies lately, and a movie I really enjoyed was Temple Grandin (2010).
It is a biographical drama directed by Mick Jackson and starring Claire Danes. The film tells the story of Temple Grandin, an autistic woman who revolutionised the livestock industry through her strong connection to animals, especially cattle. The movie is inspiring and educational as it follows Temple from her childhood and throughout her life struggles. As she overcomes her difficulties through her determination to succeed, the story explores her unique way of thinking. This allowed her to innovate designs for humane ways of handling cattle in the livestock industry.
