What have you achieved today?

[Boy Genius]

I got an email today from one of my publishers via a film company. They want me to attend a private screening of a movie which may or may not be partially based on one of my books. And they may or may not want me to work with them on the publicity for the movie.

It's like a tunnel into a previous life I led. Whatever happens, it feels good to know I'm me. Earlier this week I went to try to get a loan from my bank so I could finish my PhD and it was like NO. I expect that kind of thing. Story of my life. The tides ebb and flood, but I never satisfy the requirements of banks, because I can't give any assurances, at all, ever.

This screening, on Tuesday, whatever the outcome (and the film looks brilliant!) isn't the point. The point is that someone kinda recognises who I am, and what I do, and have done, and can do still. That my identity hasn't been totally lost in the three years in which I've sold everything I have to complete what I have to enable kids on the spectrum to be accepted as they are is all I can ask for.

Wotevva. It's good to get 'myself' back, for a night. Let's hope they can cope with my rubbish Primark clothes

This may or may not be total bullshit.

Did you write a book about this King Dong you were going on about a while back? That might make this a more, er, specialist film.

Is that an Indian curry house on London Road?

Beighton, I hope you get help in your efforts to be a human being. You sound sour and silly, and very childish. Yes I have warts on my face and wear a pointy hat. And? I love the 'lonely' tag!!!! My family and live-in mates creased up over that!!! You really do lead a rather limited life, doncha? Tell me, do you do Manga comics?

Boy Genius, you used to be really funny, and kind. You now sound like a cynical loser. What happened to you?

Northern, don't bother reading my stuff. It's not your kind of thing. It's aimed at an IQ level of 80. I think it might be over your head.

With much love to everyone, even those who couldn't pass the Sally-Anne test.

Eeyoop.

Whatever you mean. It's kind of ambiguous.

But nice. I think.

Thank you for validating my point

Got drenched at Alton Towers - but at least the torrential rain meant there were no queues for any of the big rides.


(I'm trying to look on the bright side)

I went a couple of years ago and was surprised how few people were there.
