  • To my prospective employers

    I was reading today about how to find a job after one was sacked. It’s not an easy task I suppose. I do hope Job Centre can help me with that as I really lost loads of confidence. I’d really like to go for some kind of job trial where I could see how a…

  • Care standards

    One of mum’s pressure sores is quite bad, it looks like all the skin has been peeled off of her heel. I’m shocked that the old care home didn’t even inform me. I was really thinking they are taking good care of her. Surprisingly mum said she started liking the new care home and how…

  • Worried again

    I woke up terribly worried again, about everything, my mum, her care home, her pressure sores (I need to get dressings but don’t know which size to get), her medical history (I need to deliver it to her care home but don’t know where to get it from, whether it will all be at her…

  • I wish life had more meaning

    This is fairly common complaint for me: the fact that life seems like just set of duties that I have to do every day. Then I can relax, rest, have a nice dinner and such, but in general neither the duties, nor the time off has any deeper meaning for me. I wonder how neurotypical…

  • Things went fairly well

    Mum was transferred to her new care home today and it seemed to went well, despite me panicking due to having very little control over what was happening. I was not allowed in to check her bags and I’m not sure whether she had her glasses with her. I was also not able to check…

  • It’s not my job to bring about change

    When I first started my website, I mean the first one, that is going to be shut soon as it only allows 99 posts per blog, I was really concerned about how my actions affect decision makers. Let’s be honest, being autistic is not easy: when I wasn’t aware of my condition it felt like…

  • A day outdoors

    I spent a significant time outdoors today. On Friday morning the receptionist from my first hostel gave me a spare key to my bedroom, as she wasn’t going to be in, but warned me she’s not sure what time the group of people are going to leave. ‘Probably not before 2’ she said. However, I…

  • Risks taking

    I quite like the idea of risk taking, which I guess may not be typical of my condition. However, the problem is, when I take risk, I often end up in trouble. Not always, let me clarify that, but often. I guess, possibly, as I’m in trouble now, I focus on that a bit more…

  • What I’m really worried about

    I asked myself what it is that I’m really so worried about and in response I saw my mum being dragged into a whirpool of something thick and sticky and I knew I won’t be able to get her out. I suppose it was a whirpool of care system and it meant she’ll never be…

  • Care system in Poland

    After getting a place in government care home in Poland the person will have 70 percent of their pension deducted towards the cost of that place and then family is expected to contribute, depending on how much they earn. It’s still usually not enough to cover the full cost of care and then government pays…
