Today is the day!

Although this is my first actual post for this blog I've composed many in my head over the last few years but today, for some reason, I have been driven to finally set it up.

I don't know what is different about today, it is the same as any other day but something in me has had enough of the procrastination and it is forcing me to type.  There is a sense of urgency about it that I cannot explain, almost like there is too much inside me now about this topic and it is time to get it out.

I want to share with you what it is like to be the mum of a child that doesn't 'fit in the box'. I like that she doesn't, Evan is the most wonderful, if not exhausting child I could hope to be the mother of, but not fitting in the box comes with its complications, its frustrations, even fears and very often being judged (both Evan and me as her mum).

This blog won't be written in chronological order, because that would take too much energy for me to organise, but as I experience or remember things that I want to share I will put them down, and hopefully by sharing my journey it may help other mums in a similar position.
