  • Change is coming (to my blog)

    I didn’t post for two days, I think. I was busy with PicsArt, which is ‘creative platform’ for image editing. I knew ages ago that I can do something more with my Redecor images, I just never got time to do it. I think this is an autistic thing, that I find it difficult, or…

  • My mood (quick update)

    This is just a very quick post to record the change in my mood: I felt very agitated in the morning today and even had to take diazepam, which was probably around 10am – it gave me some relief but not much and then later, around 1pm I suddenly felt really calm. I didn’t know…

  • How to get what you want when you’re autistic

    I got an email today from Psychiatry Operations Manager at Cambridge University, Dominic Drane, who stated that Professor Simon Baron-Cohen answered all my questions – well, I suppose he had, at least most of them, they just weren’t the right answers. Mr Drane also explained that Professor Baron-Cohen was advised not to email me any…

  • This is post number 300 (I feel rather overwhelmed)

    I was actually thinking that yesterday post, about Cambridge University blocking my incoming emails was 300, but it turned out that it was 299. But at least it makes sense, so that doesn’t bother me. If this one was 300 and yesterday was 273 for example, I would be really concerned and wouldn’t know what’s…

  • What I know about neurotypicals (I think Cambridge University blocked my incoming emails)

    So, basically I used to worry that the longer I blog, the less I will have to share. It seems, however, like the opposite happens: the more I write about autism, the more I notice about myself and the more it is to report, I need to prioritise some stuff over other and therefore the…

  • My flat

    At the moment I have ideas for at least 3 posts: Whether IT really is a good job for autistic people (spoiler alert: I don’t think it is) Why I needed to see how the testing nipple looked like on my gas meter before calling my gas supplier How I was sectioned in 2019 And,…

  • Why I post more than once on some days

    I did hear (and read) that people blog to connect with others or to build community (and following). As much as I admire them for that, let’s make that clear: those things are unlikely to happen for me. Well, I guess, with time I may get more readers but I doubt I’ll be able to…

  • I’m not cut out to be a home owner

    I’m sorry, but that’s how I feel. After a gas engineer vist, who was, I presume, form the council, it turned out that my gas meter testing nipple is broken and therefore the meter can’t be switched back on. I didn’t even know that meters have testing nipples! More over, the lady I was speaking…

  • Life, without heating, is miserable

    So, as I probably mentioned here before, I’m oversensitive to cold. I was told during my diagnostic assessment this is due to autism, which could be true, as my dad was exactly the same, but it only started when I was around 23. Possibly the stress of adulting did it to me? I don’t know.…

  • …and a cat (part 2)

    So this is the continuation of my post about understanding systems (and by system I mean everything that is build up of smaller parts like for example a family) that I wrote yesterday. It will hopefully be a short one as I’m cold and unable to think creatively, therefore I’ll focus only on what’s important.…
