• Should we be allowed to just be ourselves

  I didn’t post yesterday, but this was only because I was giving my website a bit of a break from me, after those emotional 3 days. It’s Sunday today, almost 1pm (when I was writing the first draftof this post). John visited me but he’s already gone! I did notice that he talks differently to […]

• I don’t have rejection sensitive dysphoria either

  As I keep seeing that concept being mentioned over and over on various Facebook groups, I realised that after reading my previous posts some could decide I have it. And I really don’t agree with that. Basically rejection sensitive dysphoria is when someone is oversensitive to rejection. It’s not a diagnosis so there’s no criteria […]

• Ok, I’m calming down (and don’t have PTSD)

  My blog is a good record of an autistic mind going through a period of transition, I believe. Although maybe not everyone shares that view as the number of visitors to my blog shrinked recently, however that could be because of Easter and weather getting warmer? But then, reduced number of views could have been […]

• Choose your battles wisely

  I wonder how long I will be able to stick to my original plan of recording my thoughts on the blog? It may be difficult when the blog gets a bit of recognition. Up to a point I think it is a good exercise: neurotypicals don’t share all their thoughts with the environment and we […]

• I feel like I’m the same like other people (something really changed)

  https://autisticandme.com/2022/03/24/other-people-have-the-same-experience-as-me/ Ok, I said in the morning I may have a break from blogging, but I just realised something extraordinary! I was just reading a blog by an autistic influencer on Instagram (I’m not really sure Instagram is a good platform for blogging, but this is irrelevant) and I found a post about how autistics […]

• I’ve lost my water bill

  After my cold symptoms significantly improved yesterday, today I seem to be getting worse again. I was going to find my water bill today to finally pay it, which would still be 6 days after the deadline, but with this cold it may not be possible. I wonder where it is though, I normally dump […]

• Why a job in Nationwide wouldn’t work for me (and what should I do instead)

  Last night I made that post about how I would like to use my experience from my employment tribunal claim to get a job in Nationwide. It all sounded well on the face value: I am really good at poking holes in systems and spotting patterns that others don’t necessarily see, or choose not to […]

• Can I get a job in Nationwide?

  For those of you who are not in the UK a brief explanation: Nationwide is a large building society with a head office in Swindon, where I live. Building society doesn’t mean that they’re building anything, it’s very confusing indeed – building society in the UK are companies that are like a bank, but they’re […]

• Things got a bit messy on my blog recently

  I’m not really sure how that happened. I remember how, several days ago, I decided I will be posting every day. I mean, I was posting fairly regularly already but from time to time, when I felt there are things happening in my life that I don’t want to post about, I wouldn’t post about […]

• A piece for World Autism Awareness Day

  I’m just in the radio and was asked by Shirley to write a little piece for World Autism Awareness Day which is on 2nd of April. Shirley said to write it now so that we can record it. OMG, I thought, I’ve just been put on the spot. ‘But I need to think about how […]
