Autism, aspergers, pens and cutlery
In previous posts my son and I have mentioned special equipment for helping iwth the motor difficulties associated with ASD/Aspergers. In response to a clutch of requests, this is what we use – but NB there are various types of each thing, and if you have an OT referral, she should be giving you recommendations. The EEE pc is small and light, and perfect for any kid who needs a laptop at school, but for aspies who can't write by hand it's totally essential. Cutlery is here Take care to click for right/left handed pens and pencils, in child size or 14+, (they are expensive but they are refillable!) If you click the links here you'll be helping to support this blog. Thank you.

Maggi has kept a blog since September 2003, writing about theology and faith, the arts and literature, and a little about life and random nonsense...
In an increasingly secularised society few people have a good working knowledge of the Bible. Yet a great deal of our culture is built on stories or ideas that come from the Bible. Literature, art, music, language and even the fabric of our society - such as our justice system - are built on Christian concepts and biblical references. The Writing on the Wall provides a fascinating introduction to the Bible's best-known, and most influential, stories. Each chapter gives some background to the text of the Bible, and shows how the stories have become enmeshed in Western culture. Adam and Eve, the ten plagues of Egypt, The Prodigal Son and Mary Magdalene all feature - along with how the Bible has influenced everyone from Shakespeare to Monty Python, and Caravaggio to Banksy. 
Giving It Up explores the Lenten idea of 'giving up', taking it beyond the traditional idea of simply abstaining from something, and suggesting instead that what we need to give up is our existing ideas about God. With a daily readings for each day of Lent, from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, it follows the heroes of the Bible who had to give up their own too-small ideas about God.
This is Maggi’s bestselling book of daily readings for each day of Advent, Christmas and Epiphany. Advent is the beginning of the Church year, and marks the anticipation of the coming Messiah. These readings explore how beginnings and endings in our own lives are illuminated by the different Gospel narratives of Christ's coming.

Hi Maggi, Brown’s article is quite interesting and seems to have inspired the usual flood of banal comments. However, his report is inaccurate in that St Therese arrived in Portsmouth Cathedral today and moves on to Plymouth tomorrow. The tour will include York Minster on October 1st. I have posted a few photos.
