  • I feel like I’m the same like other people (something really changed)

    https://autisticandme.com/2022/03/24/other-people-have-the-same-experience-as-me/ I just realised something extraordinary! I was just reading a blog by an autistic influencer on Instagram and I found a post about how autistics always feel they are different than other people and I was absolutely shocked to realise that this common statement doesn’t describe me any more! I really feel like I’m…

  • The war

    I read an article on BBC today about damage and crimes caused in Ukraine by Russians. The description of events wasn’t very detailed, but it didn’t need to be. A woman in her 50s was raped and her husband killed. Another woman in her 30s was raped in front of her child, her husband was…

  • ‘E’ ruined everything

    As Ashley Peterson, a fellow blogger, pointed out in her comment yesterday, the film with Juliette Binoche is called Chocolat, and not how I thought Chocolate. And who knows, possibly the ‘e’ at the end was the reason why my request to join eating disorder support Facebook group has been declined. It’s hard to say,…

  • Cafe – film with Jennifer Love Hewitt

    I just watched that film – apparently we are all avatars in a virtual reality, we don’t really exist. But we think we do. It was the best film I’ve seen in ages. Surprisingly it doesn’t have the best rating, only 5.5 stars, out of 10 on IMDB. That’s really strange to me. Is this…

  • Magda’s dating advice

    I was inspired to write this post by a question asked in my autistic female Facebook group: is it ok to date multiple men? Obviously I believe it is ok, as long as you don’t try to tell them that you’re exclusive with them, when you are not. The lady who asked that question stated…

  • How bully could get others to laugh at you while still keeping their image of a professional and kind person

    As you might have already noticed, I post about bulling quite regularly. You can find all the posts about it under ‘workplace bullying’ tag, although obviously it doesn’t just apply to work. My experience of a workplace bullying comes from working for a large housing association called Home Group where I really observed how the…

  • I’ve lost my water bill

    I had a bad cold recently. Yesterday I felt like I’m getting better but today I feel worse again. I was going to find my water bill today to finally pay it, which would still be 6 days after the deadline, but with this cold it may not be possible. I wonder where it is…

  • Should I get a proof reader?

    Dear Redecor, it’s not Internet connection that was offline, it was me who was offline. Alternatively you could say Internet connection appears to be off. But I know that you’re based in Helsinki, so your native language is Hesinkian I suppose? And you’re must be making enormous effort every day to communicate with your players…

  • Do neurotypicals have good social imagination?

    It is said that we, autistics, lack social imagination, and I am sure that is true, unfortunately. Social imagination is not the same as regular imagination and it has nothing to do with creativity. Social imagination is the ability to predict how situations in our life are going to unfold and how people are going…

  • My sick note runs out today

    As you may remember (or not, if you just started reading my blog) after a period of being unemployed for a few months (I did some temporary jobs during that time) I had my job induction on 19th of January. The next day my mum passed away. I tried to work for the first month…
