  • What causes bullying?

    I saw that question on one of my autism group and only then I realised that I didn’t share my views on that yet. In popular opinion bullying happens because bully is weak and has low self esteem. And it’s possible that is actually true – an assertive and confident person wouldn’t use such tactics…

  • Things got a bit messy on my blog recently

    What happened yesterday was, when I was writing the second post about attachment styles and autism, I felt very strong fear that I will get attached to somebody and this man will get ill and that will create real drama in my life. Which is exactly what happened to my mum! The fear appeared exactly…

  • Why Home Group hired an expensive lawyer to deal with my employment tribunal claim?

    As you may be aware, I realised I am autistic just before starting a new job for Home Group, a large housing association with head office in Newcastle. Yes, that is all a true story, unfortunately. I initially thought I didn’t need a diagnosis because I was ok for years, but as I got bullied…

  • A piece for World Autism Awareness Day

    I’m just in the radio and was asked by Shirley to write a little piece for World Autism Awareness Day which is on 2nd of April. Shirley said to write it now so that we can record it. OMG, I thought, I’ve just been put on the spot. ‘But I need to think about how…

  • Attachment styles and autism – part two

    I posted my question about attachment styles and autism to my females with autism Facebook group and a lady who’s also working on hers asked me a very good question: why I want to change my attachment style. And that made everything clear to me: I want to change my attachment style because I was…

  • Why everything I know about autism is wrong – dr Jac den Houting

    I just watched the above speech and you know how I feel? It makes me sad. I can’t quite understand why, dr Jac is so confident on stage and they allowed themselves the comfort of appearing without shoes. Not that I’m jealous of that, I need both socks and shoes, unless I’m in bed, but…

  • I’m a wise woman, it seems

    I saw that quote on Facebook just a minute ago: A wise person learns from everyone and everything, an average from their own experience and stupid one knows everything best. If that’s true, it would suggest I am the wise one: I learn from other people experience, from articles online and in magazines, blogs, books,…

  • Attachment styles and autism

    I am sure most of you heard about attachment styles in relationship. There are main four: secure, avoidant, anxious and disorganised. I am confused about what are autistic behaviours and what are attachment styles. I am well aware I wouldn’t call my attachment style a secure one, but then, a few years ago I was…

  • Killer teapot

    I just came back from the radio. I managed to record the 3 minutes introduction that I wrote last week. It took me an hour, although, to be quite honest, I’d probably managed much quicker if I wasn’t trying to be a perfectionist. I obviously didn’t like the sound of my voice at first, but…

  • I’m in love

    I don’t quite know how that happened. Just a few weeks ago me and John agreed to go back to dating on a ‘we will see how it goes’ basis and today I feel I’m in love with him again. We spent such a lovely time together, doing absolutely nothing, all the heavy energy between…
