Me and mum – the last visit this trip
Mum seemed alert today again and yet barely talked to me. She said again she has a feeling everything is going to be well and even that my brother will stop drinking. She also asked me why I went back to the UK before dad died (that’s a story for another post altogether). I didn’t…

I can’t possibly be autistic
When I first had this idea I may have Asperger’s (I’m not fond of that term now) what didn’t make sense to me most was, how emotional I can be at times. My understanding of Asperger’s was that the person affected is very logical, methodical and get things done without being affected by unhelpful things…

Errands
I spent today running the last of my errands. Mum insists on me to pay her bills, which are technically my brother’s now as it’s only him who lives in the house, but everything is registered on her. It’s not always easy to pay the bills online here and I have the impression that there’s…

Good news
I collected my ID card today! I am officially a free woman and can go back where my home is. It’s a bit strange that my home is so far from where I was brought up but not much I can do about that. I went to celebrate to a small cafe half way through…

Another day…
Trigger warning: mentions self harm but also talks about nice weather and speaking up. It was another warm and sunny day so I made an effort to spend couple of hours outdoors. It still surprises me how the town changed since I was in secondary school. We didn’t have McDonald’s at the time and instead…

Finally adulting
That’s a title for the challenge on Redecor: a guy got himself a washing machine and he feels that makes him an adult. I have washing machine and even my own flat for quite a few years already and yet I only recently started feeling like I’m really ‘adulting’. My mum can’t help me with…

Isolation of victim
A few weeks ago I posted to Tomaszów Facebook group asking if there is anyone there who’s money also got stolen by Mrs J but I didn’t get a sensible response. Someone reached out claiming he can help me get the money back and he said that ‘his neighbour is a lawyer’. I decided to…

Autistics and sex life
This post is not going to contain anything that I’d consider an adult content, just general discussion that you can find on TV at any time of the day. So I know that some people are really interested in our sex lives. I’d say we’re not much different than neurotypicals really, however it may be…

Playing games
What I wanted to talk about here is how autistic females’ behaviour can be misinterpreted by men who are interested in them as ‘playing games’. Only because we don’t know how to respond to their flirting and sometimes get it right but at other times completely wrong, the men may think we play games with…

Perhaps, perhaps…
I visited mum today, at 11am, as usual, as it’s easy to arrange and remember that I need to take a bus which is exactly at 10.30. She didn’t seem very alert and at some point insisted on me taking her laundry home because ‘no one will do it here’, she also told me she…
