  • Moaning and neurotypicals

    I didn’t post for a few days; I am certain most of my readers are focused on getting ready for Christmas rather than worrying about keeping up with my blog, but I did miss my writing. Quite frankly I miss posting every day and I may need to look for ways to be able to…

  • The need for importance

    I’m reading ‘How to win friends and influence people’ by Dale Carnegie. I’m sure you heard about this book, it’s a classic in psychology and social skills training. First published in 1936, so a little while ago; one of the chapters talks about how every human has the need to feel important, the author goes…

  • Autism and cheating

    I read a post on a forum yesterday where a neurotypical man was worried that his autistic girlfriend may be cheating on him. He didn’t say what the signs of her cheating are, other than doing full make up to go to a supermarket (how is this a sign of cheating? I will never understand…

  • Goblin mode and my book promotion

    It’s 12.40, I have to leave for work in 50 minutes. Goblin mode has been voted an expression of the year 2022. I feel like I’m in a goblin mode a lot for some time now. I was thinking about Ashley yesterday quite a lot. I unfollowed her blog sometimes in September, when I was…

  • R.I.P. Ashley

    Do you remember Ashley Peterson, the mental health blogger who used to comment on my posts a lot before I cosed comments? She passed away on the 9th of October and her family hinted on the blog she commited suicide. What else those words could mean? ‘She could no longer bear the suffering she was…

  • I’ve withdrawn from uni

    University of Hull offered me a full refund for my course and, with a heavy heart, I accepted it. I am still glad that I went for it and maybe I needed to make that quick, impulsive decision I made while standing in a corridor of a Sandalwood (Swindon mental hospital) at the end of…

  • 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…

  • A few more words about punishment

    After work I waited 40 minutes for a bus that was supposed to be there every 10 minutes. And it was freezing! I would normally get home in 15 minutes walk but I had the idea to go to Lidl for some groceries. I have a lot of what I needed at home but I…
