About

Hello,

My name is Paul and this is my blog (Old school I know).

I was late diagnosed as autistic and adhd in May 2025 after many years of struggles. I’ve learnt a lot since then and I continue to learn as I work my way out of neurodivergent burnout.

So I thought, why not share a bit. I’m not really a social media person, too much judgement, so here we are.

I’m from Scotland, with my long suffering girlfriend of 25+ years and 3 adult kids and 2 cute as fuck French bulldogs.

Why the name? Well I was laying in a hotel after my Metallica gig at 2am feeling quite torn up about a meltdown. The analogy of a wartime trench just settled with me, wading your way through the trenches with the odd torch for guidance.
