Very grey thinking
I imagined yesterday evening that I was practicing grey thinking. It felt very easy and I had the impression that I could master it and then, when I tried to think about writing my next uni assignment, I immediately started feeling tense again. I presume the fact that I don’t insist on leaving my uni […]

Always playing a devil’s advocate
According to Cambridge dictionary a devil’s advocate is ‘someone who pretends, in an argument or discussion, to be against an idea or plan that a lot of people support, in order to make people discuss and consider it in more detail’ I just finished a meeting with two tutors from my uni and it was […]

Eastern Europeans are unhappy
That’s what I’ve just read in ‘How confidence works’ by Ian Robertson and it may actually be true. Apparently it’s because we’re not well adjusted to freedom and making choices. It makes some sense to me indeed. Perhaps what I think is related to being autistic is, at least partly, due to being from Eastern […]

I’m not a role model, am I?
When I started blogging that how I saw it: I wanted to use this platform to somehow give other autistic people guidance on how to live their life and to do that I felt I needed to improve myself first. What happened instead I turned the blog into journal. Is it useful? I don’t know. […]

Priceless
I just found out from my uni student advisor’s team that my disability is not on the system. What kind of system they have then? Even old-fashioned gossip would work better than that.
