I’m a proud owner of (pretended) Mazda – pretended play in autistics
Those of you who know me may realise I never learned to drive. However, I used to take lessons in 2013, before I moved to Swindon from Reading. I never took the test as I didn’t feel like I can drive on the road at all (I was apparently very good at manoeuvres, but does…

Croissants and yoghurt (what will I eat tomorrow?)
Ok, so I’m in Portland after the first day of my training for live in care job and I’m having second thoughts. That’s how it often works for me: I don’t know how I feel about something till I’m just about to do it. As I mentioned on the blog I used to really like…

I’m in Portland!
I finally got in! At 8pm, which is 6 and half an hour after I left home. I had a little stopover in Bath Spa as my train from Swindon was delayed and I missed my connection to Weymouth by 3 minutes! I had to wait 2 hours for another train. As annoying as it…

Is it possible to forget how to work?
I feel a bit moody today and like if I lost my confidence. The last couple of months were certainly good for my creativity and to get rid of stress I was under almost constantly but I also feel like I kept myself in my autistic bubble a lot (well, that is probably why I…

Work training (and dodgy Booking.com host)
I’m going for my work training next week. The training is in Portland which is a small town in Dorset and the closest train station is Weymouth. Training takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday so I have to go there on Monday as I wouldn’t be able to get there on Tuesday morning, it is…

Autism – how it all began (the importance of effective communication)
I tried to listen to some podcasts about autism today and came across Emily Klonowski’s podcast called Let’s talk about autism. Emily is not a specialist but a psychology student, however it shocked me how unaware she is of her communication. In the introduction to her podcast she says she will be talking about autism…

Yes, I have a driving licence (but I do not drive)
And anyway, it’s only provisional… ok, I’ll come back to this part later. Since I bought my subscription to PicsArt on the 10th of December last year, I seriously didn’t anticipate this may ever happen, but I don’t want to do any more art at the moment. Not forever, oh no, I’m sure I’ll come…

Who is an artist?
I was wondering recently whether what I do with patterns can be called art. I don’t know how else to call it but art is a big word in Poland. To be an artist one needs to be really devoted and probably also starving. There is this expression though,’amateur artist’ that can be used for…

Since when killing people is classed as moderate violence? (Feedback from the trip to the cinema)
Ok, so I am on my way back from the cinema and I’m still shaking. It was musical called West Side Story, classed as containing ‘moderate violence’ but then I didn’t pay much attention to it – it’s musical, right? So it has to be nice. Moderate violence is, to me, when two people have…

All this digital art is loads of mental effort
So, first of all, I must say I was made to believe that art can only be done ‘on the right side of the brain’, that means by being intuitive, not by applying logic. And that was my explanation for not being able to succeed in me earlier efforts: I kept painting and doing mixed…
