  • Autism and gratitude

    Do you think it would be a good idea to start practicing gratitude? I’ve been thinking recently again about the fact that when we, autistics, focus so heavily on explaining our difficulties to the world, we end up being rather negative. ‘I’m not good with speaking on the phone’, ‘I’m oversensitive to noise’, ‘I’m a…

  • House with green kitchen floor

    I’m reading a book by Martin Slevin titled The little girl in the radiator. I almost finished, there is only a couple of pages left. It’s about author’s mother and how he used to take care of her when she developed Alzheimer’s. It was a rear case where the patient’s communication skills were unaffected –…

  • Freedom of speech

    As I mentioned recently, my statistics are really poor lately, they are probably even worse than when I just started blogging but I still have some views on most of the days. As I was thinking about it I realised I am actually looking forward to that moment when I loose all my readers at…

  • Dementia treatment dream

    Yesterday evening I decided that I shouldn’t be sleeping on the sofa too often and went to the spare bedroom. I ‘only’ slept around 9h and woke up with a headache, one that I usually get when I’m about to have a cold. I got a bit annoyed, after all that time I was off…

  • I’m not always naive, you know?

    It is said that we, autistics, are naive sometimes. And I guess that is true, unfortunately – I like to think that other people always have pure intentions and I’m constantly on the outlook for a ‘role model’, that I can never find. Possibly if I didn’t look for role models my friendships would last…

  • Unimpaired self recognition

    I had like 8h long assignment related meltdown yesterday and eventually John told me off for not being flexible enough with my study. What happened was I decided I’m not writing evidenced person centered care plan because if I have to provide evidence, that means the care plan would not be person centered, it would…

  • My first uni assignment

    I have almost three weeks to submit it and I hope a miracle will happen during this time because I have no idea how to approach it. The purpose of the assignment is to create my own care plan and then offer a critique of person centered care model. This just doesn’t add up to…

  • I want to have a child

    I’m not quite sure what happened; I was reading yet another book about dementia and I realised suddenly that having a family is a good thing. I presume this realisation could only happen for me when the family I was brought up in stopped existing. Yes, my alcoholic brother still exists but I don’t have…

  • Should I apologise to my neighbours?

    1. Those kind of things always confused me: is it better to apologise for something you did unintentionally or maybe it’s better to pretend you forgot what you did? As you may know the floor in my flat is really poor quality, I have installed soundproofing boards in my main bedroom but I recently mostly…

  • Is stereotyping always a bad thing?

    I did complain on the blog several times that I hate when people stereotype me and when it’s the British who do that I consider it to be racism. I didn’t change my mind about it as yet. I doubt I’d ever do. However, two days ago I started reading a book Qualitative Research by…
