    Unexpected changes are difficult for us, autistics, aren’t they? But then, should we insist on always getting what we expected? And what if the change is for the better? Anyway, that first week at work was still stressful, although I presume it was in large part due to my negative experiences from two previous workplaces.…

  • A hint about my new job

    I am really tired – it was stressful to start a new job while not knowing what to expect, but apart from that I am fine. I did realise though that, when things develop differently to how we expect them, it is better to give a hint about it to prepare people for what is…

  • If people don’t follow your guidance, do this

    Just a quick post as I’m rather tired. I am aware that some autistics complain that other people don’t listen when the autistic comes up with a great idea. It is sometimes difficult to know what to say for that – it can sometimes be our fault and the idea may not be very good,…

  • Bad liar

    Have you ever wondered how would you feel if you found out that someone who you trust lied to you about something that you consider crucial? Maybe it doesn’t affect you directly but it shapes how you think about yourself in relation to this person so it affects your friendship. So basically I used to…

    First of all I wanted to apologise for not taking SEO into consideration when choosing post titles. I think it’s much more creative this way. So today I decided I need to repeat the entire Sleep School course. Quite possibly I need to do it all regularly to avoid slipping into old, unhelpful patterns. I…

  • A ‘free’ seminar

    A few days ago I signed up for one of those ‘free seminars’ with a life coach. Those are very often prerecorded but this one was live. It was meant to be 90 minutes, but I lasted like 3. I find coaching industry fascinating – it’s a place where someone with a degree in acting,…

  • Hidden meanings in Covid test instruction

  • How to make people love you even if you talk nonsense

    I was inspired to write this post by a life coach I found on Instagram (there’s loads of them there!). I will not be giving out her name here because it will then look as if I’m calling her out, and why would I do that if her approach works for her and her clients?…

  • Nazanin Mandi as a life coach

    https://www.instagram.com/reel/ChIWTG0DxpO/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY= You may be aware I am interested a little bit in the art of coaching. I find it fascinating how some coaches manage to survive and even trive with all the nonsense they say. I think that tells us more about their audience that about them but I’m not aware of any research in…
