Blog
Hi, I’m Toeps and I’ve been blogging since 2004. About my adventures, about things I think things about, and about my life as an autistic person.

Sleeping in an airplane
No, I’m not talking about those few hours of sleep, with ear plugs and a sleeping mask, your chair reclined to annoy the passenger behind you and a snoring stranger next to you. Sleeping in an airplane is usually a disaster, but not this time! Because this blog is about the cockpit suite of the […]
