About Me

Currently doing my PhD in Child Computer Interaction, specialising in children with Dyslexia, and living in rainly preston.Was diagnosed with severe dyslexia when I was 23, and with ADHD and asperger's at 27 (last month in fact). Still, I can be really stubborn and decided NOT to give up my academic career just because of silly diagnosis. I got this far with them, so I will continue. However, it has made me realise what kind of a nightmare I was to other people when i was younger because of it all (well, mainly the ADHD and asperger's), and would like to apologise to them all if I could.Had a tough year this year with reoccurance of anorexia and agoraphobia, together with family nightmares, but I have pulled through ok, family get on well now and can now enjoy going outdoors :) geocaching is really good for you if you want to get rid of agoraphobia!Have been travelling to Hawaii alot this year, which has been great, some day I will like to move to the big island.
