I want unlimited choices
It is said that autistic people get overwhelmed with too many choices and quite frankly, this is not my experience at all. Does it mean my autism is ‘mild’? Well, not necessarily – it can mean that either I don’t share this particular trait or possibly even that autism research are flawed. Recently me and […]

Two autistic people talking
Ok, so another myth in autistic community is that two autistic people will not have any communication problems, and I really don’t know where that came from. I guess two autistic people may find it easier to form an initial connection but that doesn’t mean there will be no misunderstandings between them. Just yesterday I […]

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.

So basically I am slightly concerned if Shirley, the radio manager, doesn’t think I’m possibly a spare part? […]

Collective illusions

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 […]
