Often as a child you see someone with a learning disability or Down's Syndrome and my mum and dad were always very quick to explain exactly what was going on and to be in their own way inclusive and welcoming.
Like, they know that I have a habit of rubbing my earlobes, I've been doing it since I was two.
I like to be surprised. The best writing is when it defies me, when it starts going a different way than I had planned.
