  • My boiler broke down

    Three hours after I decided to end my ‘no heating challenge’. I don’t know if I actually posted about this challenge here. Possibly I was too cold; typing under the duvet is not ideal. Basically some time before Christmas I joined the protest against rising energy prices and decided I will be using as little…

  • I don’t want my wellness to be evaluated

    Yesterday I was on one of my Facebook group and spoke with a lady who organises breakfast club somewhere in my town. The club apparently runs between 7 and 11 am Monday to Friday, first visit is free and it’s all been created to connect people so there’s chat and friendly atmosphere. I was a…

  • A woman lied on her resume

    And she got the job. Not that I encourage similar behaviour but it’s good example how a very grey thinking can be good for you. Read the article

  • How to bribe cabin crew?

    I just read an article in Metro where a flight attendand explains that the best way to get a better treatment or even an upgrade on the flight is to give some chocolates to the crew. The article doesn’t explain though when those gifts should be handed in so I’m not linking it as it…

  • It’s not just autistics who have to mask

    This is an interesting article on Metro. I read it yesterday in the evening and it angered me so much that I had difficulty falling asleep. It’s about a black female living in London who doesn’t feel confident to reveal details from her life to her work colleagues. She was worried, as a working class…

  • Why do people gossip at work?

    I had this idea a few weeks ago to start posting about concepts that I read in psychology books and I don’t think this is going to work. I borrowed ‘Read people’ by Rita Carter from the library and it took me two days to read it. Obviously I was also doing other things, like…

  • 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…
