 <\/p>\n

I talk to my therapist who’s a doctor. The problem is that here K’s agoraphobia overcomes her and she goes “out” as far as the deck and scuttles back inside. But in the city, K goes out with her carer at least once a week, if not twice. Only to the shopping centres, \u00a0but that at least.<\/p>\n

I talk to my therapist.\u00a0Is the risk of co-vid so great at the moment that we should bring her here and risk her agoraphobia?<\/em><\/p>\n

Probably not.<\/em><\/p>\n

So we tell K to stay in the city. That way, she has to be self-sufficient.<\/p>\n

She rings. It’s too cold to go up to the chemist to get her meds.<\/p>\n

It’s not so cold.<\/em><\/p>\n

She rings off unconvinced. My music professor rings to discuss the course. Ten PHD students are enrolled, so excited they don’t mind \u00a0there’s only a 20% chance that the \u00a0course will be counted toward their doctorates! Thank goodness. Perhaps they won’t be critical of me! I’m always expecting that. Why, I wonder? What I have to tell them aren’t my ideas, they’re from a vast field of study. Other people’s research, not mine.<\/p>\n

Also, I \u00a0only know about creativity in story-writing – which I’ll admit upfront – so the professor will co-teach with me. But artistic domains are the same. It seems that the same brain behaviour is.<\/p>\n

I’ll be lost if someone wants to talk about a sonata, <\/em>I say.<\/p>\n

I’ll stay one millimetre ahead of the students,<\/em> he says.<\/p>\n

He’s clever but with the warmest heart. I try not to be nervous. it won’t help anyone.<\/p>\n

I read neuroscience for my book of readings for the course. and rake the mud, so the tiny crabs go somewhere else and we have a beach – one day.<\/p>\n

Later, K rings to report that she went out by herself. With someone like K, there’s a thrill at achieving the most ordinary things. Ordinary things take her a lot of courage. It’s thrilling she went out alone for her meds. Someone should give her a medal. Other parents are thrilled when their children get good marks, but with autism, the goalposts shift. I wonder how many other people walking the grey streets of the city are quiet heroes like her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
