Does Feminine Power exist?
I mean, I guess it does. Some women are very powerful. But I was thinking here about the coaching program created by Claire Zammit. I posted about it a few days ago – it’s apparently all to do with intuition. But I’m wondering, what about communication? If we’re making the same mistakes all the time,…

I’ve been chucked out of a conversation (and I’m having a meltdown)
Ok, so I’m back home now, at 22.20, after a short shift in a supported living place. Suppoted living is where a person with disabilities lives in their own place instead of the care home and they have staff coming in. I was there with another lady, very lively and chatty, and I actually liked…

Autistics in caring professions – The Guardian article
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/feb/03/clients-say-it-feels-like-weve-always-known-each-other-the-mental-health-experts-who-believe-their-autism-has-turbocharged-their-work?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other That is a very interesting read. This is the post that I tried to write twice already and it didn’t get published for some reason. I know there is this saying ‘third time lucky’ but I’ll just leave it without any comments this time.

The Economist’s writing course (interpretation of an idiom)
There’s this ad that keeps popping up in my Facebook feeds, a writing course by The Economist. I kept ignoring it so far but today I thought, as I’m now in employment I could see what it is about and maybe it will be interesting? I’m not sure the content would apply to the kind…

What is feminine power?
Out of confusion I felt earlier on (and I still do) I started reading Claire Zammit’s work again. Claire is a very successful mentor for high potential women and she calls her system Feminine Power. I became aware of her quite a few years ago, possibly before I realised I’m autistic and I read her…

Do autistics really have difficulties with expressing their emotions?
I posted something autism related on Polish Facebook group related to psychology and somebody asked me if I have difficulties with expressing my emotions. That is apparently one of an autism trait. But only when I was asked this question in such a direct way the truth became apparent to me: I don’t have difficulties…

Communicating ‘Asperger Style’ by dr Kathy Marshack (and why we are sometimes mean to people)
I watched this video today and found it quite refreshing but also, a big surprise. I was aware of dr Marshack and her attempts to support neurotypical people who are in relationship with autistics. As much as I believe neurotypicals may in fact require support with that, I found dr Marshack really negative at the…

‘Take care’ – patterns in communication
A few days ago I posted a link about Bristol City Light Festival on my Facebook page. It’s happening in March and I was hoping that possibly me and John will be in a position where we could go there together (John lives in Bristol) and spend some nice time there, both during the festival…

Watch out for… logical fallacy
https://mentalhealthathome.org/2022/02/10/what-is-logical-fallacy/ I just read this post on Ashley Peterson’s blog. I think this is what neurotypicals do quite a lot: twisting facts to make it look like they’re right. Possibly reading about it in a bit more details will make it easier for us to, autistics, to spot that. I wonder whether this should be…
