The latest installment of my column for The Times came out today.
Writing about parenting is an interesting process, as it makes me think about everyday things from a different perspective (can you think from a different perspective?). Writing for a broad audience who might not have any direct experience of disability means no longer assuming a level of familiarity with much of the day to day stuff.
That said, even the most seasoned disability veteran will be ecstatic when they see what I have found. I know we've all done it. All those times when we struggle to get pasta into the socks of a loved one. Those moments when you think, "There must be an easier way to do this."
Well now there is. Courtesy of a 'daily living aids' website in Australia. I present the Pasta-Stocking-Stuffer.
