Beautiful day
Weather was fantastic today and, as it’s Saturday, I had a day off from all the issues and instead did some walking. I found another, really interesting part of town, a beautiful park in the centre, with benches, fountains, flowerbeds and even outdoor art! I never used to go there, it was just like a…

Coping
I was just thinking how mum always tried to help me to cope with things. She didn’t seem to understand the world around her very well but had good ideas sometimes. Her ideas helped me organise a lift to the airport at the beginning of lockdown when majority of buses got cancelled and we only…

How my mum ended up living with me
Over a year ago my mum passed out and was taken to a hospital. It’s not clear who called an ambulance, social services say it was her support worker who used to come twice a week for a bit and my brother says it was him. She was in the hospital for a few days…

I miss mum
After the situation when my mum was asleep when I called, I didn’t call again. I find it very difficult to speak with her. I wouldn’t know what to say if she says she wants to be back in Smardzewice, where her home is. It would be very difficult for me to decide if I…

Feeling better
I only realised on my second day here that there is an adventure park just outside of the building. I guess due to stress I was under I couldn’t make sense of what I was seeing. There is also an outdoor gym a few more metres away and a river. When I woke up today…

Shutdown
It’s midday and the only thing I did so far was collecting my daily gold gift on Redecor. I’m staying in bed, trying to rest. I took olanzapine yesterday late evening as I couldn’t calm my thinking process. It’s so difficult to make sense of things and accept this family situation is my new normal…

The call
I wanted to call my mum and the nurse passed the phone to her but I guess she didn’t make sure my mum is fully awake (she likes her afternoon nap) and there was only silence there so I disconnected the call, slightly irritated and then I thought: that is what is going to happen…

Really long walk
I did probably over 12km of walk today. I wish Google map could measure that (or maybe it does? How do I set it up?). I had to do various things in various parts of town and felt like I couldn’t even get on a bus, I had to walk instead. That’s how stressed I…

Email to Professor Baron-Cohen, copy to Mark Henderson, CEO of Home Group
When I feel bad I challenge people. But that never makes me feel better. If they don’t respond I feel ignored. If they do they never seem to use the right words. Dear Professor Baron-Cohen, I’m wondering if you gave any thought to the emails where I was describing my diagnostician’s, methods. I think, being…

Morning of The Day
I’ll be leaving my hostel in a few minutes to get to mum’s care home to sign power of attorney. Google map says it’s 30 minutes walk, that means I need to allocate at least 45. Weather is not very nice but it’s not raining. The night in a hostel was OK. For the price…
