Thank you, Caritas Salford, for inviting me to speak about my Autism resources for parishes and schools. Thank you too, to Dr Minna Moffat-Feldman for arranging it all.
I feel blessed to be doing this. #autism #catholic #inclusion
OK, 2. Point still stands.
Sum total of wars started by women = 0 (unless you think Helen of Troy was real).
Perhaps, if more women and fewer wannabe Alpha Male men were in power, we would not have pointless war after pointless war after pointless war.
It was a privilege to take part in ‘Hossnna!’, a cantata for Easter performed by adults with learning disabilities. I was moved to tears. #disability
I was recently contacted by a group in the US called ‘Autistic Catholics’. Would anyone be interested in a UK version? If so, please contact me at markpaine1970@gmail.com #autism #autistic
I don’t think he understands the concept of ‘principles’.
Why are there so many more stars since we invented telescopes?
Also, why are so many people being diagnosed as neurodivergent these days? #autism #adhd #neurodivergent
On what has been a wonderful day, I must admit that ITV hyping up Henry Pollock as the Second Coming and calling Steve Borthwick a tactical genius has been hilarious. #6Nations #Ireland #Rugby
Personally, I enjoyed it. I look forward to many more England performances like that.
What a performance. Ireland dominated a scatty, mentally fried England who did almost nothing well
We'll take it. Ireland looked energized.
JGP, Crowley, McCloskey, Doris and Beirne superb.
Ádh mór ar fhoireann rugbaí na hÉireann inniu. Imrigí le misneach, bród agus paisean. Troidigí mar Fianna na seanlaethanta. Éire go Brách! 🏉☘️🇮🇪 #Ireland #6Nations #IrishRugby
Book proposal and Chapter 1 of ‘The Autistic Experience of God’ completed and sent to several publishers.
Fingers crossed.

2)
Perhaps, instead of snake oil involving stem cells, they could market more proven cures for difference, such as firing squads or hanging? #Autism #neurodivergence
1) An advert for a cure for #Autism appeared on my social media feed.
‘Cure’ implies that there is something that needs ‘curing’. As Autism isn’t a disease; as it’s a blanket term to describe an uncommon neurological framework; as it was in my DNA from conception - what exactly requires a ‘cure’?
It would be fair to say that ITV are sub-optimal when it comes to Rugby coverage. #6Nations #Rugby
I wasn’t aware that they had changed the rules of Rugby Union to allow forward passes. Thank you, Karl Dickson for informing us. #6Nations #Ireland
Tar ar aghaidh a Éirinn! ☘️🏉🇮🇪 #6Nations #Ireland #IrishRugby
