Magda’s dating advice
I was inspired to write this post by a question asked in my autistic female Facebook group: is it ok to date multiple men? Obviously I believe it is ok, as long as you don’t try to tell them that you’re exclusive with them, when you are not. The lady who asked that question stated…

Should I get a proof reader?

Killer teapot
I just came back from the radio. I managed to record the 3 minutes introduction that I wrote last week. It took me an hour, although, to be quite honest, I’d probably managed much quicker if I wasn’t trying to be a perfectionist. I obviously didn’t like the sound of my voice at first, but…

Workplace politics – some tactics people use
I know I already discussed that but will need to state it again – I believe the Home Group drama caused me some type of brain damage, one where I’m unusually focused on working out what’s happening around me. That helps me understand some of the human behaviours that were puzzling me before but at…
Autistic and me
