  • My healthy diet

    Just before Christmas I signed up for a dieting course with psycho dietitian Mikołaj Choroszyński. What I love about living in a different country to the one I was born is that I can choose what’s best in both of those countries instead of being stuck with what doesn’t work for me. Mr Choroszyński works […]

  • I can’t promote my book

    First month after publishing ‘This autism of mine’ I wasn’t making any effords towars that promotion because people would be more focused on their Christmas shopping than reading about autism; then when I started wondering what I can do, I realised something: My perspective seems to be so different than the current autistic narrative that […]

  • Work life balance may not be what you think

    https://bigthink.com/neuropsych/work-life-balance-happiness/ I found the above, really good article on Big Think. Apparently eudaimonic happiness is a concept that work and, in general, making an effort is what makes us happy. It doesn’t necessarily apply to every person, as some of us prefer hedonic happiness, which is basically having fun. The article states, however ‘there really […]

  • My psychiatric nurse wants us to ‘move forward’

    It’s been ages since the last post about communication; neurotypicals just didn’t give me enough inspiration. The purpose of my posts about communication is to prove that autistic people don’t necessarily take everything directly. Especially after our diagnosis! As you my remember my previous nurse left around June time. As I was considered low risk […]

  • Imagine that things could be worse

    I just finished reading this article on Big Think. Apparently when we engage in contemplating how our circumstances could be worse than they are, we appreciate our lives more. I wonder why this technique is never advised in popular magazines? This is apparently why bronze medalists are happier than silver medalists: bronze medalists think that […]

  • Strange dream and a couple therapy

    It’s 9.50am and I’m wide awake. I had a very strange dream last night: at first I was told there is a married man interested in dating me and I was supposed to guess who it was from hints displayed on a large screen and a number of volunteers were meant to gather from my […]

  • Feeling mentally refreshed

    That’s a new feeling for me, isn’t it? Some of you may remember how I used to complain about being mentally tired all the time. What caused it? A book I’m reading in Polish. ‘Honey, I killed the cats’ by Dorota Masłowska (you can download English language version from Kindle store). The novel is classed […]

  • John’s life coaching skills

    I’m sure I already mentioned that a few times, but you may not remember or possibly you didn’t read those posts: I love talking to John when I have a problem. Even when he is not familiar with the area I have problems with he will always says something that is like that missing puzzle […]

  • My book cover looks like vagina

    Apparently. That’s what I was told! Those images are patterns! You know how it feels? I was being rejected for so many years for how I see things and now I wrote a book about it and I’m being rejected again! I’m having a mini meltdown.

  • Autistic writer’s block

    As you may remember I started writing an experimental novel. Why it’s experimental? Because I can’t write a regular novel, or at least that’s how I feel. Being autistic I have problems with imagining how people may react in various situations and I think my characters were rather flat sometimes in my first novel I […]
