My body doesn’t exist (and how I understand symbols)
So, before I move on to what this post is going to be about, which is a bit embarrassing, I will start with explanation that I don’t really have much of an awareness of my physical body and therefore I don’t worry about my health too much. I don’t know how to explain that but…

Blogging – a little sum up
I started blogging on 14th of July this year.. My blog doesn’t seem to be listed in Google for now but this can apparently take a few months. I don’t do anything to promote it in any way. I write about such personal stuff at times that any attempts at self promotion just don’t feel…

Everything is a matter of perception
It is said that we, autistics, can be very fixated on how things should be. Not being able to buy our favourite curry sauce can cause some of us a massive meltdown or at least put us under stress. I was brought up in a communist country which meant massive queue forming outside of the…

Are we, autistics, disabled?
I was prompted to write this post by a fellow blogger, Ashley Peterson from https://mentalhealthathome.org I’m attempting to answer a question here if we, (highly functioning) autistics are disabled or not. If you’re looking for a quick answer I can tell you that I believe that we are, although a few of us are probably…

Different ability
I really do not like this approach to autism that claims we’re not disabled. Yes, we may have some different abilities that neurotypicals lack but that doesn’t make us not disabled. I remember how I used to work for that company in Warsaw, where two blind ladies also worked. They were updating company database calling…
