When it comes to being basic, we fall into two categories. There are those of us who desperately rally against it, and there are those of us who snuggle into the warm arms of basic-ness, refusing to fight.

Autism is a lifelong disability that affects the way an individual communicates with others and perceives the world.

All autistic people have certain difficulties in common, but the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) itself affects each person differently.

As someone with two brothers who have very different types of autism, I’ve grown up believing in the importance of de-stigmatizing disability and discussing how autism affects all involved.

Last week, I started training for the London Marathon in earnest.

Through a heady soundtrack of Nickleback and Nirvana, I got my arse into gear on the treadmill and managed to bank a reasonable 35km (I don’t know if that is actually reasonable or not at this very late stage in the game, but it felt a lot).

‘I’ve got the toys to turn your body out,’ cooed New Power Generation vocalist Elisa Fiorillo on Love Machine, a track from Prince’s 12th album, Graffiti Bridge.

Of course, Prince was a veteran of the vagina and a master in the bedroom so we’d all do well to take note – sex toys take things to another level of multiple orgasms.

We all remember those climbing frames (Picture: Getty)

A primary school-aged child spends six and a half hours at school each day. Of those hours roughly five are spent sitting down.

They’re sitting still on a chair, being expected not to fidget and getting told off for wriggling their little bodies around.

With one supply teacher in Wales recently being reprimanded for taping a child to a chair by his bare ankles ‘as a joke’ because he was a fidget, we need to take a serious look at why children are sitting down for so long as part of their school day.
