I want unlimited choices
It is said that autistic people get overwhelmed with too many choices and quite frankly, this is not my experience at all. Does it mean my autism is ‘mild’? Well, not necessarily – it can mean that either I don’t share this particular trait or possibly even that autism research are flawed. Recently me and […]

Mum is always right
I wanted to go to Cirencester today, which is a small but lovely town not too far from Swindon. There is a bus service that goes to Cirencester once a day and I can catch it from my regular bus stop instead of going to bus station. However, the service has no time table printed […]

My psychiatric nurse is leaving
I saw my nurse yesterday and she said she’s leaving. I am quite sad about it. I really liked her. I’m however a bit confused if she’s going to leave for sure, just because of the way she’s said that – that she will be working ‘in one of the surgeries’ which then made me […]

A few more words about unmasking
Yesterday I wrote that I always feel like I’m acting when I’m around other people and later on I realised that is not technically correct. I don’t ALWAYS feel like I’m acting, I only feel like I’m acting when I’m about to say something and I’m deciding what that should be. So I presume I […]

A few words about unmasking
I presume if you’re interested in neurodiversity (and I guess you are if you’re on my blog) you might have heard about unmasking movement. It has nothing to do with taking off the masks we were supposed to wear because of Covid pandemic. Masking is all the effort autistic people do to appear neurotypical, and […]
