Hi, I’m Tori, I have one child – a thirteen year old autistic son. I’ve been a single parent for eight years, I have had lots of ups and downs over the last eight years – but feel that I’m coming out the other side. My son has inheritied my sense of humour – which comes back to bite me in the bottom sometimes, I joined this forum as I can get a little lonely sometimes. I do have some volunteering work but isn’t always enough social interaction. One thing that I can find difficult as a single parent is the fact that I don’t have reinforcement from a second parent. I also don’t have much family support from either sides of my family – one side ive completely cut out as they arent good for me. I don’t have anything to do with my son’s dads family as they arent good people either. I enjoy spending time with my son, I like going days away with him (though he’s a typical teenager – always finding something to moan about haha), As previously mentioned, I do some volunteering work, I enjoy this a lot as it gets me out the house and my son can choose to take part if he pleases as its mainly aimed at his age group. I also volunteer at a national trust of scotland location, this location is a keen interest of mine as it involves an author of a book that is still famous more than 100 years after being published.

Covering your tracks

You may not want other people to know that you’ve been searching for information or help from OPFS.

When browsing the internet whether on a mobile phone, tablet or computer, you leave a ‘history’ trail of pages and sites you’ve visited.

It’s impossible to completely avoid being tracked online but if you’re worried about someone knowing which sites you’ve been looking at, there are some things you can do to help cover your tracks.

If you’re using a laptop or desktop computer, try keeping another document or website open in a new tab or window while browsing. If someone comes in the room and you don’t want them to see what you’re looking at, you can quickly switch to another window or tab.

Deleting browsing history

You can delete the history of websites you’ve visited, but it’s important to know that if you delete your browsing history, someone else using the same device may notice.

If you share a tablet, mobile phone, laptop or computer with someone, they might notice that passwords or website addresses have disappeared from their history.
