Thread | Autism Is ...
at 13:55 8 Sep 2024
This is such a lovely poem to explain Autism.
Autism is:
Unable to speak, or maybe speaking too much
Hugging everyone, or disliking touch
Escaping outside,
Or trying to hide
Excitedly flapping
Inappropriate clapping
Autism varies so much
Won't wear a coat, or wears one all year round
Fussy eater, or would eat dirt from the ground
Screaming or humming
Annoyingly drumming
Toys in a line
The same way every time
Autism varies so much
Struggling to learn, or has wonderful gifts
Obsessions of numbers, trains, films or lifts
Spinning around
Throws things on the ground
Constantly spitting
Aggressively hitting
Autism varies so much
Alone without friends, or controls every game
Always looks different, always dresses the same
Swinging on doors
Head banging on floors
Freaks at the dryer
Keeps climbing higher
Autism varies so much.
Can't answer questions, won't do as they're told
In their own world or bossy and bold
Over prepared
Anxious and scared
A spectrum so wide
But they all bring us pride
When autism touches our lives ...!! |

Thread | Derek Draper RIP ...
at 13:30 2 Sep 2024
RIP ... D.D
"Swansea City is saddened to learn of the passing of former player Derek Draper at the age of 81.
The Welsh inside-forward was an influential figure in the Swans run to the semi-finals of the FA Cup during the 1963-64 season, and scored 14 goals in 79 appearances in all competitions.
A classy player, capped by Wales at under-23 level, Draper was raised in the Greenhill area of Swansea and attended Hafod School prior to joining the ground staff at the Vetch in 1962.
He made his first-team debut against Newcastle United in March 1963, scoring the winner, and he also netted an important brace in a FA Cup third-round replay against Sheffield United the following season.
After leaving Swansea in April 1966 to join Derby County, Draper went on to have spells with Bradford Park Avenue and Chester City.
He was the latter’s leading marksman during the 1972-73 season, and played a starring role as they won promotion and reached the League Cup semi-finals in 1974-75."

Thread | Ukraine destroys Putin’s prized £250million submarine ...
at 16:17 3 Aug 2024
"UKRAINE has obliterated one of Vladimir Putin's prized Black Sea submarines in an impressive attack on occupied Crimea.
Kyiv forces said the prized Kilo-class Rostov-on-Don submarine, worth £275 million, was hit in a strike on the Sevastopol port."
"Ukraine's attack on Friday also “significantly damaged” four of Putin’s ultramodern S-400 air defence systems - worth in total around £2 billion.
Kyiv claimed the missile barrage also targeted four vital launches of Russia's "Triumf" air defence system.
The Kilo-class Rostov submarine - used to fire calibre class missiles on Ukraine - had been hit in September 2023, but was then repaired.
Dramatic pictures showed the gaping hole ripped into its side after a barrage of Storm Shadow missiles bypassed air defence systems to blast naval docks in Sevastopol.
