My autism quote today is by Stuart Duncan.  Again, this is a quote I can really relate to. Despite having some marvellous reviews of my first book, Akea – The Power of Destiny, I am still firmly convinced I can’t do anything right. I’m not sure that opinion will change when my second book, Akea – His Mother’s Son, is published either.

While I find it hard to be proud of my writing achievement, I am proud of the relationship I have with my Shi Tzu, Kizzy. We have been together since she was 7 weeks old and we are never apart for long.  She is incredibly intelligent for her breed and so quick to learn.  She is my world. 

She wears the bandana all the time, but the hat belongs to Woody from Toy Story. This figure sits on top of the arm chair.  His string no longer works, but every so often he relates one of his favourite phrases without any assistance – spooky or what! Kizzy has learnt so many clever tricks, and I can pose her in any position I choose and she won’t move until I say so. Today, she is Woody’s friend – Kizzy The Cowgirl.
