hasty lane horse and pony sanctuary
there are also two sheep but they have sneaked under the fence and joined the herd of sheep in the farmers field next door,so the buggers are going to have to be dragged back again.
the owner built all of the stables himself and even though he has a job as well he has totaly dedicated his life and money to looking after them.
a website for the sanctuary is being made at the moment,had offered to build one but its already in the making,hopefuly itll have a paypal option set up so people can donate.
am making some name plates for the stables with dad this weekend as there are none on the stables and its impossible to know who is who unless have got a working memory,not that the ponies care as they love wandering in to each others house to steal food.
dad wants to go help out with the DIY/building side as well.
if anyone wants to help in any way possible,post a comment and will get the owner to contact.

first time volunteering
something that had never thought woud happen has finaly happened.
have wanted to offer some hard work mucking out and grooming for years in a equestrian centre of some sort but all of them were unable to accomodate the disabilities of mine and all but one of them [millers nook RDA,where used to go riding] didnt make em feel any better about self; saying am to much of a risk to their insurance.
staff had been trying to get em basic paid work of some kind to add a bit of money to the benefits also,but they had gone around every single learning disability organisation including mencap and all the smaller ones they were able to offer ,as well as the job centre plus disability advisor and remploy to try and get help with finding a sheltered workshop placement or work from home [putting letters in envelope type job] and not one of them has been able to help,in fact almost all over them never got back to staff.
it really isnt fair that the government is putting so much money into mainstream working when not all of us can access it,plus closing all the sheltered work schemes in the name of inclusion.
its all well and good shouting about inclusion but what about those of us who cannot access it? why shoud those of us in residential care especialy be left to live a life of no money?
david cameron and his government fucking suck.
there is a pyschology student lady am helping to learn about autism every week and she brought in something out of her newspaper about a new horse and pony sanctuary that has just opened,it has five horses and ponies and two sheep.
theyre looking for volunteers to help with things on the yard.....

the abuse and misuse of literalism
we/autistic people are literaly minded,the level of literalness varies from autistic to autistic.
understanding language in general is a big difficulty of mine and people always adapt how they speak with self but am still confused as to what they mean....and then the words that em take literaly get brought into it as well; will constantly misunderstand these words and will react to them in different ways depending on the misunderstanding,sometimes will head bang or cut other times might think am being told off by staff for no reason and end up in a mess.
the world from ems view is always impossible to understand,am awful at understanding words on forums and feel a lot more independant in that way since discovering the amazing kitadic firefox addon thing.
as if it isnt difficult enough without some twatface thinking theyre awesome; many a person has mocked every time have misunderstood something due to literal meaning.....well isnt hypocrisy then that they do not go and mock any physicaly disabled or blind person for falling over?
hey...look at that guy with one sided CP,his most spasticy muscles made him jerk out of balance and fall over,isnt that so fuckin hilarious?
ehhh no.
now, on forums,they are full of people who mock others for reading things wrongly,it is treated like a crime almost by those agoraphobic little knackers that no one gives a crap about/grammar nazis.
so.....why is it when people are aware what words mean but they write the literal way the person is treated as a funny guy,is very popular for it?
isnt it weird how people can who know what theyre doing can get more respect than those of us who dont?
and one other point about literalism on forums,will people please stop fucking saying they 'literaly pissed themselves/beat someone over the head with a stick,murder their brother/sister etc' no..just no.
am fed up of people saying shit like this because they then go on to explain that what they did had absolutely nothing to do with pissing themselves /beating someone over the head with a stick/murdering a unlawful neighbour etc,it is a big let down to find out someone else doesnt piss themselves as much as the self, and its also a let down that am not going to be able to grass up some pyschopath.
stop it,please.

'retard' also gets the boot from the drug manufacturers
a medication of mine that have been on for many,many years has aparently, finaly got with the programe and realised how ancient the name is.
tegretol retard, aka slow release.
http://www.epilepsy.org.uk/news/drugwatch/tegretol-products
am almost certain on the blister packs from boots it still says tegretol retard though.
now if only society woud listen to our side of how this word is so deeply embeded with hatred, discrimination,prejudice,beliefs of burdenism,and dehumanization for us,as well as being one of many labels that has deeply affected the lives of those of us who have intelectual disability.
those of us in the UK are pretty lucky in that we are diagnosed with learning disability,and have had a smaller list of slurs used on us by teachers,people in america is one example where intelectualy disabled people are not so lucky-'mental retardation' and 'retarded' led to a far worser belief of burdenism,it led to hitlers labeling of us as being 'useless eaters', emptying the many residential homes of intelectualy disabled people to gas them.
many well known old jailed pyschopaths said they deliberately picked 'the mentaly retarded' from american residential homes because they were not cared about or followed up on.
this is why we need awareness of retard/mentaly retarded/whatever way want to use it,it has fuck all to do with stopping peoples speech but is all to do with being aware of how damaging language can be,having at least the bare minimum of respect for each other and giving us the same equal worth as gay people and people of a different skin colour- most people who complain about people using nasty words towards these groups are the same people who fling around retarded to describe something stupid someone they know did,
that is associating the offensive stereotypes of our disability and attaching it to some action that we woud never do.
when was an unfortunate resident of an manchester LD institution,was the first person to go into the permenent stay wing who was on this version of tegretol and the first thing all the bastards said upon seeing the rack of medication blisters was 'ohhhh....tegretol retard....they coudnt have named it any better for her',all of them hypocrites of course because they denied all disabilities of mine due to the fact was able to turn a computer on.
that place was ran by a bunch of sadistic motherfucking frankie boyles,who didnt give a shit about respect or care.
they all stuck up for each other when complaints were made.
they better hope they dont end up severely disabled and also unable to communicate, god help them when they end up in an old folks home being treated like worthless vegetables.
