  • My digital detox – day 8th

    And probably day 4th without Facebook (I’m not really counting). I’m not exhausted any more, I started cooking again three days ago and I quite enjoy it. During the last couple of months I only cooked when John was supposed to come over and I found that extremely irritating. But again, I thought that’s menopause […]

  • Autism and behaviour modification

    As I already mentioned in some of my posts, recently I came accross the concept that we, autistics, shouldn’t be expected to modify our natural behaviours in any way and we should be as autistic as possible because that’s what’s good for us. This belief seems to be so strong among certain people that I’m […]

  • Triple errors, anxiety and Facebook

    My problems with anxiety started when I was working in Home Group, sometimes around summer 2016. It always felt the same: something happened at work but I didn’t understand the seriousness of the event till a good few hours later, sometimes even the next day, and when I realised what happened it felt like someone […]

  • A very good woman

    I just finished watching ‘A good woman’, a film with Helen Hunt and Scarlett Johansson, I commented on an interesting conversation from that film here https://autisticandme.com/2022/05/08/it-depends-on-the-imagination/ It turned out it was a good movie, one that teaches us of the importance of not jumping to conclusions. Also the fact that it had so many characters […]

  • Instagram is for sharing images

    That’s what I was always thinking, you know? Recently I found out it’s for building following. When I set up this blog in July 2021 I had no idea there are autistic advocates blogging on Instagram. I found out this year, probably in March, after reading an article in media. I started following one or […]

  • It depends on the imagination…

    Sorry for the quality of the photo – I was watching a film on Amazon Prime but it turned out I can’t make screenshots there so I got this from YouTube. It’s good enough to ilustrate my point, I hope. I also hope I’m not committing a crime here – but if I am, I’m […]

  • Follow the flow of what?

    This is just another post about my digital detox, and I didn’t want to call it just ‘digital detox’ while ‘feeling a bit better’ doesn’t seem appropriate in case I’ll feel worse again soon. I really do not know what is symptom of what, and that is the problem, but since yesterday evening I feel […]

  • And what is social status for?

    The Friend said my theory about employees fighting for social status by getting bitchy may be right. I suppose she knows, just doesn’t want to confirm that with me directly? But then I’m thinking, what is social status for? I suppose so that other staff treated them a bit better, but how far that can […]

  • Do people fight for social status?

    I called The Friend and she complained about situation at work, saying there’s a lot of spiteful people there. She kept asking why people do those things because she never does. And in fact she doesn’t seem to be like that at all. It is being said a lot that the atmosphere at work depends […]

  • Digital detox – day two

    My watch has been delivered at 4pm so I went to town after that – without mobile. And without headphones. Instead I used earplugs to muffle noise and I quite enjoyed it. I realised that I was able to notice more details of what was happening around me. I used to be quite observant when […]
