  • The last meeting with my nurse

    So I saw my psychiatric nurse the last time yesterday. I gave her that basic card I mentioned in another post and small box of Polish chocolates. On the card I wrote this message: Thank you for all the support I received from you. I will always remember your kindness and dedication. Good luck in…

  • A Magda shaped hole

    This is an authentic email I received yesterday. A good piece of creative writing, I would say. I am aware of shaped hole expression but it sounds rather strange still but it helped me to understand something. Enterpreneurs Circle is a club for business owners in the UK, that I joined a year ago when…

  • Human being in a bag

    Yesterday I was chatting with John about the food festival we’re going to on Sunday. I reminded him to take his rucksack. I bought it for him as we were getting ready to go on holiday to Poland a few years ago, long before Covid pandemic. I found that rucksack in a charity shop, but…

  • Why autistic men are so stubborn sometimes?

    Mind you, this is just a theory. It’s about my fiancé, John. I broke up with him in winter and since we decided to try again I can see he really improved his communication skills. He speaks to me in a gentle voice now and he stopped hitting his thigh with the edge of his…

  • A card for my psychiatric nurse (hidden meanings)

    As you may know my psychiatric nurse will be leaving in a few days and my last appointment with her will be in two days. Initially I was meant to be discharged but eventually my psychiatrist decided to keep me on his books for a little bit longer. I wanted to get a card for…

  • Lack of social imagination and the quality of being non judgmental in autistic people

    For those of you who don’t know what social imagination is – it’s not the same thing as ‘standard’ imagination that allows people to make up stories of some kind. Social imagination is about understanding how real life situations may unfold and how real people are likely to react. I demonstrated lack of social imagination…

  • Eliminating my psychiatric nurse – continued

    So as you may know I’m going to be discharged from my mental health services on the 1st of July. I feel like I was being abrupt with my psychiatric nurse lately and that caused communication breakdown but I prefer to leave it this way. Having a good relationship with my nurse when I’m about…

  • Don’t steal, block them!

    I read a thread on some kind of strategic game forum over the weekend – I sometimes read all kind of random stuff – the thread contained description of how various archetypes behave. It’s in Polish so I won’t be linking it. But it was interesting; you know, what witch does and how priest behaves.…

  • Why I had to leave the radio

    I feel like I need to explain here exactly why I needed to make that difficult decision, I do hope this will help other autistics in assessing opportunities available for them. As you may be aware, I felt I was receiving loads of support at the radio station and some interesting posts have been written…

  • I think I recovered

    Around a week ago I posted on my blog that I decided to recover from my mental health issues and that thought was triggered by the doctor decreasing the amount of olanzapine on my prescription. And guess what? I think I did. Funny thing, isn’t it? As you may know I had two psychotic episodes…
