...is Friends Only. 

I welcome and encourage applications from potential new friends. I love new friends!  I particularly like friends who post often, comment often (ish) and respond when I leave comments on their journals.  However, it's not essential.  I won't add you back if you don't leave me a comment to tell me you're adding me, or if your journal isn't in English, or if I check you out and you seem like an all-round Horrible Person.  I'll only unfriend you if you turn out to be an all-round Horrible Person, of if you never update or comment.  I'm not fussy, so feel free to add me!

On the other hand, you may not be particularly interested in my main subject matter.  I write a lot about my small autistic son, and his diagnosis and my need to find a way to deal with it was what pushed me in the direction of LJ in the first place.  So, although my journal is much more balanced place these days, with plenty of posts on and around the glorious subject of Me and My Thoughts and My Life, if the subject of autism or adorable small boys bores you, I'd recommend that you don't add me.  

(For my own reference, and yours if you're interested,  I've located and cut and pasted the the story of S's diagnosis from the archives of my journal, and put it ( under the cut.  )
