Dear friends of SpringDale and friends I have yet to meet,

So far this year I’ve read 15 stories – which is a miracle for me. One book, Aspertools for All Brains: The Practical Guide for Understanding and Embracing Asperger’s, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and Neurodiversity, the other 14 stories are from the Complete Works of the Brothers Grimm. During a trivia quiz, the question was posed – Where did Walt Disney take the idea of Cinderella from? I answered the Brothers Grimm and was berated by my team – but I was correct. Extra gory information was given by the Trivia master, which inspired me to read the original version.

I used to read myself to sleep, but haven’t needed to do this for many years. At the moment, I can read one of the Brothers Grimm short stories and then fall asleep, having achieved finishing a whole story (maybe 2 pages long!). I’m not sure why I didn’t read them earlier. They are quite gory, but I am enjoying them.
