If only we all saw the world as innocently as him. This evening, Ewen went to the Christmas light switch on in our local town. It may not seem like a big deal. Tiny to some. But when I look at his smile, the way his eyes light up - his face glows… I think about where we were. When we were visiting him on a psych ward that didn’t do Christmas. That was bare walls and wipeable beds. We are so lucky to have the most incredible care team supporting Ewen. His lifeline. They don’t just stick to the ro

It’s been such a special year for Ewen and I. The growth of this account, the incredible human beings we’ve met because of it, the endless support… and most of all the love for the Ewen’s of the world, turning out in abundance for my beautiful brother who’s had a crappy few years, to say the very least. Ewen continues to be the most resilient, loving and empathetic human being in the world. We have so much more to teach, and so much more to learn. However, as i sit here writing this, 3 hours awa

For anyone that doesn’t know we’ve been snowed in for over a week… Ewen has genuinely been phenomenal and I’m so proud of him 🥺 I decided to brave the snow on Thursday because the cabin fever was settling in for both of us. Ewen was so excited, and after lunchtime going perfectly, we were on a roll. That was until we entered the science centre and they immediately told us there were closing early due to the snow. My heart sunk and that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach began to rise. I look

Swimming is so special for Ewen. It’s always been his safe space. His forever calm. Nothing matters in the water. Nothing itches, nothing hurts. It’s just freedom. The noise goes quiet, and you’re guaranteed the most beautiful interaction each and every time. Who else has a loved one who absolutely adores the water? | Ewen and Me

Everything really was working against Ewen, and to be completely honest, we were all uncertain when our boy’s cheeky smile would return. Over 450 days in a psych ward, post-crisis. What positive was that ever going to do. Well, nothing really. He deteriorated, and deteriorated. Ewen was restrained up to 30 times a day, he seeked out meltdown, because it was the only comfort, and proprioceptive feedback he could receive. Those alarms, I heard them. He heard them all day everyday. The armour staff

Reuniting with Ewen after 3 weeks 🥺❤️ Being apart has been challenging for Ewen. Although he doesn’t have any real concept of time — just as we may realise we haven’t texted that person back for a few weeks, or we recall upon a memory that happened on holiday last year — waves of memory, I believe, do come back around for Ewen. The last few days he’s been a lot more emotional than usual. Close to tipping point in every moment of his day. Yesterday he didn’t crack a smile until he saw the schedu

The opticians… a complicated one for our Ewen, but a very, very necessary one. After losing his sight to self-injurious behaviour 4 years ago, we’ve been terrified of what that means for Ewen’s future, and especially how to prevent it from happening again. Hospitals, dentists, opticians, you name it — they can feel impossible sometimes. We practically beg the professional to do everything against their natural instinct. Don’t say his name, don’t tell him what you’re doing, don’t ask him question

Ewen should have come first. The comparisons are hard sometimes. Our lives so far apart. He never had his first love, first heartbreak, hangover (to be fair neither have I 😅) or party. We didn’t take the school bus together, or share stories about our day. He didn’t scream about Xbox or chant football chants with Dad. Instead it was balamory on repeat, the same packet of Jammie dodgers for a lifetime, tinkling elf slippers, nursery rhymes and cuddly bears. Instead of driving tests, he was sitti

When Ewen was institutionalised in a psych ward, there was a time when it felt as if everything we knew about life felt like it had shattered. Hospital hallways. Locked doors. Constant fear. The repetitive restraint for his safety. The medication list longer than my arm. We were told to trust that things would be okay… But truthfully, I didn’t believe life would ever feel okay again. The social care system failed him, and in doing so, allowed a situation where an autistic person ended up somewhe

Happy Halloween from Ewen. I hope everyone spends it with as much joy as Ewen does. He doesn’t have any concept of the holiday. None whatsoever. Yet he still finds the light, the joy and the happiness even on the scariest night of the year ❤️ Halloween has never looked like Halloween in our house but we’ve found the love in whatever it has brought us, every single year.

Christmas Eve in the Ewen and Ruby household. The day honestly couldn’t have gone better, and it’s safe to say Ewen is absolutely chuffed with himself. Spotting his sister on the big screen was also absolutely hilarious apparently… or it could be the fact I was as excited as an actual baby 🤣 Merry Christmas to every single human being who has supported us over the last 18 months. Sitting here feeling extremely grateful. Despite a very broken heart, I am so lucky for the love around me. Here, an

Ewen loves a shortcut. In fact he looks for one through absolutely everything. From chunky mushrooms, to chucking everything in one place and bombing it all in the sink - he truly cracks me up. Ewen has been having a hard time, something we need to figure out. But this made me smile. A little hope that he’s okay. Oh how I can’t wait to see you beautiful boy ❤️🥺 Friday couldn’t come faster. | Ewen and Me

So this happened last night 😭 We tried our first FaceTime with Ewen back in 2020 during lockdown. He was quarantined in his placement for 114 days and it was nothing short of agony. He didn’t get it for the first few months. Confused whether his family was a video, or a live action call. What really made him comfortable with it was calls with his big brother Sam. I could sit with Ewen and reassure him that Sam was actually there on the other side of the phone. He loved those calls. And pretty m

Just to clarify when I say Ewen has been in “placements” since he was 10, I mean residential school. He went Monday to Friday, home every weekend and holidays ❤️ I’m asked about Ewen and I’s outstanding parents all the time. Mostly people assuming because they aren’t in the videos that they don’t care about their kids, which is the furthest from the truth, as anyone who truly knows us very, very well will know 🥰 They’re the moon, stars and planets for Ewen and I.

What a day… This weekend has been nothing short of exhausting. Ewen has been out of sorts, highly emotional, dysregulated and abnormally hyperactive. Things haven’t looked like this before — another hurdle. This video shows a snippet of the stress today held. The heavy breathing, the rocking, sharp intakes, quick movements. The kind of movements that make you flinch because you thought it was coming for you. The days where you beg the public to understand, the waitress to get the bill when it al

Hi all. Ewen and I have been growing on other social media platforms for over a month now. I thought now would be a good time to tackle the big scary facebook. Ewen is my big brother, he’s 22 years old and has a severe learning disability (SLD), autism and is completely nonverbal. He has never spoken, nor mimicked sounds of a word. He was diagnosed 20 years ago at 2.5 years of age. It’s pretty fair to say times have changed since then, and many stories shared online are those at the beginning of

Christmas songs made an entrance yesterday! Ewen was over the moon to hear, see and immerse himself in the atmosphere of Christmas yesterday evening. From decorating (video to come later this weekend) to tunes, lights and snacks - he soaked up every minute ❤️ and both our cups were filled. It’s hard to know how much he understands, but he recognises the time of year, and he loves every second. | Ewen and Me

Ewen was so happy last night. Start to finish. It’s always the biggest relief when evenings play out this way. So happy that we got to try some different activities. Activities he’s prominently avoided/refused to do of late with me. Even if it did mean Rudolph ended up with 3 eyes 😂 He comes home first thing tomorrow morning, and I honestly cannot wait to spend the next few days in his happiness, his care-free world and his love. ❤️ | Ewen and Me

The most special day ever 🥺 Meeting Ewen can be daunting to anyone, but especially after being his biggest fan for about a year 🤣 Ellen works with beautiful children just like Ewen, so I was lucky to have someone who just ‘got it’. And during that *VERY* intense moment of losing my car keys, I genuinely could have cried. But we made the perfect team, and after some intense rocking and a few grunts Ewen got himself back on track after it was rudely thrown off by his sister! I’m slightly mortifi

Ewen was sectioned in a mental health unit, not because he has mental health issues, but because he is autistic. A hospital environment is traumatising for someone who already struggles to understand the world. The noise. The restraint. The constant fear. The suffocation of choice, safety, and freedom. Inside those four walls, Ewen lost more than time, he lost parts of himself. This was never about family failure. This was a system failure. A system that waits until crisis, then has nowhere huma

Residential is often related to shame. It’s the hesitation before you let anyone know. The moments pause before they respond, do they think we got it wrong? I think often people believe it’s got to be the parents. “Oh they just couldn’t cope” “They must have just given up” Except they didn’t give up. They fought and fought until the fight showed that all along… it wasn’t them who couldn’t cope, it was their son. And keeping him home became for their benefit, rather than his. We were looking at o

You pray and pray to never lose them, the one who’s been standing the longest, but the harsh reality of social care is everyone moves on one day 🥺 Ewen’s entire team is phenomenal, and that goes without saying.

It’s been 4 months since this amazing day. The day we all went WTF, because the boy who hated the wrong tone of breath, the hiccups, coughing, sighing or sneezing. He stood in an arena, with Lewis Capaldi up front and thousands of people around him. It was the best night of his life and ultimately mine.

I’ve never been able to relate to those constantly undermined and belittled by the comment “they don’t look autistic”. I’ve never felt like someone knows better in that sense, or that I’m made to feel less or “reassured” less because we don’t fit the stereotype. Although it’s not a lived experience, it’s one I empathise greatly with. A comment I know all of us as a community would roll our eyes at in unison… But here’s the other side.

I think what free’s him the most is the depletion of expectations. There’s no pressure, no demand. Ewen’s skin no longer burns with fire, his clothes no longer imprisoning his body.
