Workplace politics – some tactics people use
I know I already discussed that but will need to state it again – I believe the Home Group drama caused me some type of brain damage, one where I’m unusually focused on working out what’s happening around me. That helps me understand some of the human behaviours that were puzzling me before but at…

Unexpected events and me
It’s 17.14, I just came back home after the gym, cafe and stopover in Farmfoods. A while ago I bought a vegetarian product called Swedish falafel from there. A bit confusing as falafel is not Swedish, but I absolutely loved it. Today I felt like I really wanted it for dinner so I went there…

I was attacked by autism researcher!
Seriously, what that was about I really don’t know! I felt I need to post about that as soon as possible and that I need my caramel coretto for that, to feel a bit better so I’m just sitting in my favourite cafe. So basically, a few days ago one of the comments on my…

Some things were better before diagnosis (hidden agendas don’t need to be revealed)
I see a lot of talk online about how autism diagnosis ‘changed someone’s life’ and I’m at least sceptical. My own diagnosis didn’t bring me happiness – instead it caused many problems that I didn’t have before. In the current state of support for adult autistics I’d say self diagnosis is probably better as it…

Other people have the same experience as me? (I like Boris)
I still can’t wrap my head around what happened yesterday. There is a very strong Polish community in Swindon and I used to be in touch with them for a bit, I even was a teacher in Polish Saturday School for a year. I’m not doing anything with them now but I have them on…

Allocating – my favourite play
That’s what I realised recently: allocating is my favourite form of play. I suppose it’s a form of pretend play because I am happy enough to allocate items where they don’t belong only because I feel like that’s how I want to do it. I saw this little task on Redecor Facebook group yesterday: which…

Nervous laughter (that’s autistic in the radio for you)
I just came back from the radio station. Shirley, the manager, suggested that for now I should read things from my blog. I had the idea to do interviews with people but didn’t know where to take those people from, and, to be honest, what to talk to them about – I’d probably end up…

Can anxiety cause fatigue?
I have this problem with fatigue since after my first psychotic episode. At first I didn’t feel tired every day, only after having panic attack. And the panic attacks were caused, at first, by emails from employment tribunal, but after a while I had them every evening. I remember one day, a day after experiencing…

What is my plan for the radio program?
So tomorrow I’m going to our local radio station called Swindon 105.5. The manager told me that she wants to talk about ‘plan’. But I don’t have any! I thought, if my program is going to be 5 to 10 minutes long, plan is not necessary, I’ll just talk about things that I have already…
