My name is Colm Philpott, and I'm autistic. I started this blog to debunk the many, many, many misconceptions about autistic people, we're actually quite awesome when you get to know us! I also talk about three of my biggest interests, music, cycling and astronomy, and also anything else that piques my interest.
As I get older, I am noticing more and more people have what I call a Simpsons deficiency. About twenty years ago, everyone would have gotten what the title of this post was a reference to. But now, things have changed, too many people are Simpsons deficient. And if you’re thinking, that awful show that’s … Continue reading Do You Find Something Comical About My Appearance When I Am Cycling My Bike?
11th May 2017, Carrigadrohid Castle. I think this is probably the best non-astronomy drawing I ever did. Full discloser, I can’t actually spell Carrigadrohid. Many instances of me writing the word in this blogpost will be me copying and pasting the word. It’s possible by the end of the blogpost I will know how to … Continue reading My Only Non Repeating Cycle, To the Wonderful Carrigadrohid Castle

One day I was just looking around places to the north of Cork city on Google Maps, and to my surprise there was a mountain range there, that I had never heard of, and that … Continue reading The Twentieth Cycle to the Nagle Mountains
My brain is being overactive, much like the Duracell bunny, so I’ve decided to do another blog post, even though my last blog post was yesterday. This is on the second most difficult cycle I ever did. So why did I do my first cycling blogpost on my toughest cycle? Now this blogpost is going … Continue reading The Second Toughest Cycle I Ever Did
My noble steed. What's great about it is it's only a steed in a metaphorical sense so you don't have to feed it. I’ve been big into cycling since 2014. It begun when I sprained my ankle, and I was terrified to run on my ankle for a few months, afraid the injury hadn’t fully … Continue reading The Toughest Cycle I Ever Did
