• I diagnosed myself with rebound mania

  I was stagnant for too long. Is taking zopiclone during the day a good idea? I just did. Will I sink in the bath tube? God forbid! How long for? Please!

• Effective altruism (in Swindon)

  I’m not sure if I understand the concept correctly but it seems to be about praising people and organisations that do good. I normally complain here about various options of support that seem to be available in the UK, but when one (especially an autistic one) reaches out, it turns out there’s nothing substantial there…

• Magda is going to Uni

  Ok, I did suspect for a bit that I’m loosing readers because people think I’m making stuff up. I just cannot be real, can I, with all the stuff that are happening to me. I wish that was the truth… I don’t have time for a proper post but will hopefully update tomorrow, or in…

• ‘Be a bit weird’

  Above: me, in the communal area of Applewood, with it’s famous red window. It was 23.15, I was meant to be asleep (hence the eye mask) but somehow ended up listening to Pitbull’s International Love – which for me became a symbol of my Employment Tribunal game. I look kind of cute, don’t I? 🙂…

• The Rule

  Guess what my surname means in my native language. Exactly that! I never really liked it. Maybe that’s why I understand that some rules really need to be broken. But possibly my dad understood it differently? And that’s why… Anyway… how does that affect AUTISM RESEARCH?

• I made a massive mistake

  I had a certain, uncomfortable situation with a bus driver today, that made me decide I need to pass on my feedback to the bus company. It wasn’t actually a complaint, at least I didn’t mean it like that. I just wanted the driver to be alert that he needs to relax a bit and…

• Allegations vs facts

  If you have a proof allegations becomes facts. Home Group tweeted me yesterday and I cannot believe that I wanted to genuinely forgive them! I thought that they see my perspective and want to make it work somehow but they Were hoping to bribe my diagnostician to get her to convince me to sign that…

• Those who dwell, know

  To be filled in. My mind doesn’t want to stop producing thoughts, but it’s only 23.05. Hopefully I’ll get my head around things finally and get some sleep before going back to work tomorrow. An open letter to Mr Henderson: in case you keep reading my blog, I’m demanding you to stop immediately. You got…

• Does it matter how you got the job if everything works just fine?

  I post here a while ago how I got that second job in The Company (not using their real name here means I’m in tension reduction stage of my challenging behaviour spree; in case you could not work that out. By all means it’s not my intention to hide anything from the public eye). Basically,…
