  • Me on olanzapine

    I think I have been on it for long enough to write a little sum up. I am only on 5mg, which is considered a small dose. When I was on it the first time a few years ago it was 10mg. Even on 5mg I managed to sleep 10 hours on a couple of […]

  • I’m not always naive, you know?

    It is said that we, autistics, are naive sometimes. And I guess that is true, unfortunately – I like to think that other people always have pure intentions and I’m constantly on the outlook for a ‘role model’, that I can never find. Possibly if I didn’t look for role models my friendships would last […]

  • I miss my mum (again)

    I remember, I said a few days ago that I’m not grieving any more but I do miss her. She would be my best cheerleader, now when I’m studying at uni. I imagine that I call her and what she would say. She’d most likely would be like ‘that’s very good, that’s very good’. I […]

  • Unimpaired self recognition

    I had like 8h long assignment related meltdown yesterday and eventually John told me off for not being flexible enough with my study. Basically I decided I’m not writing evidenced person centered care plan because if I have to provide evidence, that means the care plan is not person centered. But finally I thought, ok, […]

  • My first uni assignment

    I have almost three weeks to submit it and I hope a miracle will happen during this time because I have no idea how to approach it. The purpose of the assignment is to create my own care plan and then offer a critique of person centered care model. This just doesn’t add up to […]

  • I want to have a child

    I’m not quite sure what happened; I was reading yet another book about dementia and I realised suddenly that having a family is a good thing. I presume this realisation could only happen for me when the family I was brought up in stopped existing. Yes, there still is my alcoholic brother but I don’t […]

  • Should I apologise to my neighbours?

    1. Those kind of things always confused me: is it better to apologise for something you did unintentionally or maybe it’s better to pretend I forgot? As you may know the floor in my flat is really poor quality, I have installed soundproofing boards in my main bedroom but I recently mostly sleep in my […]

  • I dont understand academic writing – part 2

    John pointed out to me yesterday that possibly I don’t understand academic writing because I don’t fully understand the discussed concepts yet. This cannot be excluded so, to check, I found a paper about storytelling. Storytelling is easy and something that I did quite a few times, I also read some books about how to […]

  • Can I express my opinions?

    What I’m going to describe here is an example of situations that make me overthink. As you may know I signed up for a university course, Msc in Dementia. I started around two weeks late as course already started when I just only got the idea to apply. Every week we have a new topic […]

  • Is stereotyping always a bad thing?

    I did complain on the blog several times that I hate when people stereotype me and when it’s the British who do that I consider it to be racism. I didn’t change my mind about it, as yet. I doubt I ever do. However, two days ago I started reading a book Qualitative Research by […]
