My brother and his alcohol issues
I often wonder, how come someone who has no relationship, almost no friends and can’t keep a job, can be such a skillful manipulator as my brother. I feel bad now about everything that I have. I feel like I should remember about him, about the fact that he has no food and can’t pay […]

My family
I was cleaning the house yesterday thinking ‘this is my family now, it’s not going to get any better than that.’ My brother has some serious issues with self neglect so it wasn’t an easy task. I found my mum’s glasses, the two pairs that I organised for her when she was staying with me […]

The neurotypical disorder
I’m not one who claims autism is not a disability. Oh, by all means, it is. It was the inability to predict other people behaviour that put me into all those troubles with The Company and the employment tribunal case, where I ended up developing psychotic episode. That wasn’t what I wanted, believe me. You […]

I’m in Poland
I’m in my home country Poland, in beautiful village Smardzewice, where I was brought up. I have some serious issues to sort out, including fraud that my mum was a victim. It’s not fun, my brother has his own issues (with alcohol and serious self neglect) and my mum is in a care home as […]

Hate shopping? Next time you have to go […]

How to stop moaning when you talk to NTs
You know that feeling when you want to have a moan, but just a little one, like 3 minutes only, and then you want to move on? It’s not so easy when you talk to NTs. You need to know a special code. I discovered it in my early 30s by a total accident. It […]

The choice
One of the communication techniques I managed to work out by observing my diagnostician, Oriana Morrison-Clarke, is asking questions in form of, what I call, ‘statement with a void’. This one is very good for helping us make a choice. Let’s say you want to find out how the autistic person in your life would […]

I hope that helps
It has been brought to my attention that what I’m doing here – I mean, providing phrases neurotypical people use is not going to be effective.Well, obviously, we can’t just learn all of them by heart (although I don’t really have that many for now, do I?) but I’m sure it’s better to do that […]
