Happy birthday, Robin! And happy Substackversary as well. I kind of agree with your son… it’s so tempted to make a design on those bubble answer sheets!
Thank you! Yes, I found his comments very relatable, too 😆 I’m happy to share my hubs work, I always get the previews on my walls at home :) - thanks for following him, too
Thanks for sharing these experiences so candidly, Robin. I think you might enjoy 'brother. do. you. love. me.' by Manni Coe. It's about Manni's experience of caring for his brother with downs syndrome around the time of the pandemic, and his struggle to secure specialist communal residence for him - where his brother would be able to live more independently. Looks like the paperback doesn't come out in the US until May, but it's available on Kindle. brother. do. you. love. me. https://a.co/d/hjBBhaE
Thanks for that recommendation, I will definitely check it out! (And, I just looked at the link and the short video with Manni and Rueben, wow - I am excited to be able to read their story!) And, thanks for reading, I really appreciate it :)
Hey Robin. Happy Birthday and three years here. I enjoyed listening to your article. My friend’s young adult autistic son has just started work experience in the post room at a local hospital. You’ve inspired me to pick up the phone and ask her how he’s getting on with it ❤️

Happy Birthday Robin! 🤗

Happy birthday!
Love the flashbacks, especially the guy redponding honestly about getting up in the morning. 😏 Highly relatable.
And thank you for the link to your husband’s artwork - inspiring me to get back at my collage work.
All the best to all of you ♥️

Such a beautiful memoir/story. Rollercoaster of a read, but, ultimately, so life-affirming. 😇😇
