Or perhaps it should say Monroe was diagnosed with autism as a child, but her parents kept the diagnosis secret. She only learned of it when her GP made a passing reference, having seen it in her records.
Which one was it?
Jack Monroe #41 No one else gaslights or fights for 'likes' like Jack Monroe. Oops.

oh dear God.
Oh she wishes!
Vicky McClureeta - I like it but she looks knackered. No stone throwing, i’ve kept similar hrs and I do too.
Thread name klaxon.
Jesus Christ, the number of times I’ve taken scissors to my hair when I’ve been really in the grips of bad mental health... she’s not ok this is just one of those really ‘up’ times 
She looks bleeping awful. Her eyes always look manic - like she's just put her fingers in a plug socket.
Like duck did she need to "spend every morning deep conditioning and untangling" that wispy bit of frizz she had, piss off Rapunzel
Me too! I’m never going to be a driver because, well, I was utterly crap at it.
I'm sorry but I can't resist
The thing is. We don’t know enough about the dads circumstances. Full time employment means little. There are people who work full time who are on the breadline or just above it.
I assume the dad is around the same age as her so would have been in his early 20s at the time. She wrote an article in the guardian saying how great her sons father was.
If he had the child two nights a week he was being fed two nights a week.
I always got the impression her parents wanted to do more but she said no. Her mum spoke to the Sunday people at the time as well.

‘Bangs’ I’m surprised she didn’t use her trusty bread knife. It’s ok to have normal scissors, Jack. Not every tale needs a twist.

What's the context of dlag in the book, out of interest?
'Reclaiming my time'. What now? I guess those Twitter flames won't fan themselves.

Yep, my first thought too. Starting to recognise patterns in her behaviour now and it's making me uncomfortable.Jesus Christ, the number of times I’ve taken scissors to my hair when I’ve been really in the grips of bad mental health... she’s not ok this is just one of those really ‘up’ times
You (or your mum) will be pleased to learn he is far from a Tory! https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2012/jul/14/terry-deary-horrible-histories
I adored the HH books. I rinsed my local library of the entire collection growing up
The perfect kind of book that encourages you to question everything - past and present.
If there could be a soundtrack to Jack’s threads what would it contain?
I’m starting with What The Hell Is It This Time by Sparks

Plus she doesn’t really strike me as the sort to buy other people gifts (unless it is a copy of one of her manky books) - she just expects to receive them.A poor little urchin like Jack couldn't afford that!
