Watch out for… logical fallacy
https://mentalhealthathome.org/2022/02/10/what-is-logical-fallacy/ I just read this post on Ashley Peterson’s blog. I think this is what neurotypicals do quite a lot: twisting facts to make it look like they’re right. Possibly reading about it in a bit more details will make it easier for us to, autistics, to spot that. I wonder whether this should be…

I’m feeling very tired
I did 12h shift yesterday and 6h early shift today. I didn’t get enough sleep yesterday as it was difficult for me to relax after coming home and today I had to wake up early. So in total I had probably 5h of sleep last night. Yet, I’m still coping. I’m in the middle of…

Managing my emotions
I’m really sad and I don’t know why. In the past I used to be interested a lot in managing my emotions. I was focusing on how I felt hoping that will bring me clarity. Unfortunately it only brought me confusion. Have anyone heard about emotional intelligence for autistics? If you do, please let me…

My first fasting day
It’s 21.20 now and I will be going to sleep pretty soon. I decided to go back to intermittent fasting and my first day went well, I’m really pleased with myself. I managed to do grocery shopping and the fact that I’m fasting didn’t affect my food choices. Also, which is exactly the same experience…

‘Men don’t display aggression’ – dr Jordan Petterson video
https://youtu.be/74KQ_1cgAmE Please watch the above YouTube video. Dr Jordan Petterson is a well known psychologist and an author. I did hear he can be sexist sometimes but I sometimes watch his videos anyway. I watch all kinds of videos, even if I don’t agree with people who made them. I generally like making up my…

Oxytocin theory
Some dating coaches advise not to have sex before you really get to know someone. That advice marginalises women sex drive (we have it, don’t we?) and anyway, when you really fancy somebody it’s very difficult to put this aside and focus on ‘getting to know them’ instead. They often mention the oxytocin theory and…

British public and dieting
I don’t have a tag for dieting on my blog, all the posts about dieting and my relationship with food go under physical health. I wonder whether I should create a separate tag for that to make it look like it’s important? If you read my blog regularly you may know that I was overweight…

I can’t do this any more
It’s close to midnight when I write this post and I feel quite uneasy. I was thinking earlier on to suggest to John that possibly I could come over to his place and we could talk but when I was at work today I suddenly got the idea that’s not the right thing to do.…

A game I can never win (British public attempts to check how poor I am)
What I don’t like about British neurotypicals is how interested they are in other people financial status. The problem is that they never talk about it directly but instead try to find out things indirectly by asking seemingly insignificant questions and making comments. ‘Are you not taking a taxi? It’s raining’, ‘Tesco is dear’, ‘It’s…

Accidental proposal (Marni Batista)
Today I thought John is trying to propose to me, but instead he reminded me we’re not in a relationship. Oh well… so I told him not to argue, for the same reason. Not that we argued when we were in a relationship. The rule of thum is, however, if a guy doesn’t consider you…
