Changes in life and social imagination (need a role model)
Regarding my previous recent post – I did have the same reaction for a couple of months when I first started studying physics, in Åódź, when I was 18. I wonder now whether this is just lack of social imagination? I do think I’m really bad in this field; I can’t imagine that my life…

Do you remember how I said…
That I’m on speech and language therapy delivered by the community? I really believed it. But now I don’t. Not really, I mean it’s difficult to say. Everyone’s communication skills improved that much recently. But maybe it was my communication that improved first and people react differently now? I don’t understand. What is interesting though…

Can’t wait for my large canvases (should I just quit????)
As you may know I had rebound mania since just after leaving hospital on Thursday. While waiting to be discharged I decided to go to uni, chose a subject within like 2 minutes and the university within the next 30 seconds. And then, while already at home, I decided to provide confidence building training for…

The uni
I’m not very linear, am I? But I never claimed I was.

Difficult emotions
After ‘going crazy’ the entire night; despite zopiclone at 21.30; I mean… I had maybe 2h of sleep, I was planning what to do about my university degree. I almost designed my thesis… and now; 9.01am, I’m trying to get some sleep and feel absolutely devastated. I’m useless. Home Group knew that; that’s why they…

‘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? ð…

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?

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…

Autism, kindness and social anxiety
I just joined local Facebook group for ladies who want to make new friends, but I have no idea what to do apart from that to actually meet someone I could become friends with. It seems to me I’m a terrible judge of character, or at least females character. What doesn’t help is that I…

Bad liar
Have you ever wondered how would you feel if you found out that someone who you trust lied to you about something that you consider crucial? Maybe it doesn’t affect you directly but it shapes how you think about yourself in comparison with this person so it affects your friendship. So basically I used to…
