  • Good mental health and creativity

    So, as stated here multiple times, my blog is to record how I’m thinking and feeling. It’s been two weeks now since I started my digital detox (and approximately 10 days without Facebook) and my mental health and energy levels weren’t that good for ages. I also haven’t been working the last two weeks, but […]

  • Mum is always right

    I wanted to go to Cirencester today, which is a small but lovely town not too far from Swindon. There is a bus service that goes to Cirencester once a day and I can catch it from my regular bus stop instead of going to bus station. However, the service has no time table printed […]

  • My psychiatric nurse is leaving

    I saw my nurse yesterday and she said she’s leaving. I am quite sad about it. I really liked her. I’m however a bit confused if she’s going to leave for sure, just because of the way she’s said that – that she will be working ‘in one of the surgeries’ which then made me […]

  • My thoughts

    As I mentioned here several times, I use Sleep School technique through their app to improve my sleep. It works very well on a regular day and I managed to cut down my falling asleep time from 2h to 5 minutes and I also sleep significantly longer. However, when I get triggered by something I […]

  • My rephrasing skills

    That was meant to be a part of the post about conversations but I guess I was so fascinated in making everything appear like if it’s focused on one subject only that I forgot to add this. So basically I am slightly concerned if Shirley, the radio manager, doesn’t think I’m possibly a spare part? […]

  • Collective illusions

    I just read a post on Ashley Peterson’s blog that discuss something what readers of my blog should know – I’ll quote Ashley here: This post explores some of the issues that came up in Todd Rose’s book Collective Illusions, which I reviewed a few months ago. Collective illusions are the social norms and expectations that […]

  • Conversation about conversation

    It’s Monday, 4pm, I just came back from the radio and I’m feeling rather perplexed. I told you yesterday that I finally decided how to transfer my blog to the radio, didn’t I? I need to focus on only one or, at most two autism related concepts and make every piece look like a complete […]

  • My digital detox – day 8th

    And probably day 4th without Facebook (I’m not really counting). I’m not exhausted any more, I started cooking again three days ago and I quite enjoy it. During the last couple of months I only cooked when John was supposed to come over and I found that extremely irritating. But again, I thought that’s menopause […]

  • Autism and behaviour modification

    As I already mentioned in some of my posts, recently I came accross the concept that we, autistics, shouldn’t be expected to modify our natural behaviours in any way and we should be as autistic as possible because that’s what’s good for us. This belief seems to be so strong among certain people that I’m […]

  • Triple errors, anxiety and Facebook

    My problems with anxiety started when I was working in Home Group, sometimes around summer 2016. It always felt the same: something happened at work but I didn’t understand the seriousness of the event till a good few hours later, sometimes even the next day, and when I realised what happened it felt like someone […]
