Should I take a refugee?
I’ve been thinking, maybe when (and if) I go to Poland, I should find an Ukrainian refugee to bring back with me? I would need to tidy up the spare room, but it’s not too bad and I recently got rid of a massive armchair from there, that wasn’t very comfortable to sit on, so…

Is calling to kill Putin wrong?
I read lately a couple of articles where people explained that when they made certain statements they didn’t mean that they were calling for Putin to be killed. And I’m wondering, is calling to kill him wrong? I’m sure that most people would agree that killing in self defence is ok. Killing during a war,…

Gym
I went to the gym the first time in a few weeks. I certainly haven’t been since my mum died, but I also didn’t go for at least a few days before that. So roughly 2 months. I wasn’t planning to do a lot today, it’s always better to start small, but after 30 minutes…

I’m sticking to my values (I could still afford funeral plan)
Yesterday I had a phone call from a company that offers funeral plans. I don’t have one and normally I’d refuse to speak with them but after my mum died I think I become more aware of my own mortality so I thought I’d talk to them. It turned out the lowest monthly payment was…

I just realised something (the importance of indirect communication)
When I realised I’m autistic and that there are levels of communication that I don’t get, I started paying more attention to what is being said in non direct way. For that I didn’t need anyone to prompt me (I described here a while ago how my diagnostician prompted me to see other people perspectives).…

Excitement equals danger
I’ve never been good at dealing with excitement. Or, to be precise, every time I feel excitement I ruin everything about the thing that excites me. It is very easy to say it’s self sabotage and, again, explain that it’s because I don’t believe I deserve good things happening to me (exactly what my counsellor…

I’m allocating myself a reward
I’m on my way from the local radio station, and I must say the chat with the manager went really well. I will write more about it later, possibly even tomorrow, after I put things into perspective, but for now I wanted to say that I had a feeling like I want to allocate myself…

It was a difficult day
I think my emotions finally woke up and I find it difficult to manage them. I mean, I’d probably look perfectly normal to you, as an autistic person at least – I spent almost entire day playing my block sudoku game. I’m quite scared of putting it away, I think it may be because, when…
