How to ‘spot a genuine man’?
That is another thing about language that I have problem with: the above question, without the quotation marks, is often being used in dating advice articles. And what does ‘genuine’ mean? Authentic, real, sincere. But the question is used to mean something different: how to find a man who will commit to you. This way,…

Sexual abuse and communication (what my mum used to say)
Ok, I felt a bit uncomfortable while deciding if I should blog about it or not, but then I blog about life as an autistic female and sexuality is part of life, isn’t it? So it shouldn’t be omitted. There is some talk about sexuality and autistic females online already and I find it all…

Something silly (notifications again)
I need to admit to something really silly here, I broke up with The Boyfriend because of notifications. I was thinking about our relationship and was dissatisfied and then read online about a woman who ended a relationship because it didn’t bring her fulfilment any more and I somehow decided I need to do the…

Eureka! (Other people perspective)
This is a continuation of my last post where I commented how my diagnostician casually mentioned I can’t see other people perspective but refused to elaborate on that and this, with time, made me focused on exactly that – other people perspective.

I feel emotional

Now I’m in Weymouth and trying to rest but I feel like the whole idea of blogging about autism specific communication is suddenly overwhelming me. Possibly there is…

I’m a proud owner of (pretended) Mazda – pretended play in autistics
Those of you who know me may realise I never learned to drive. However, I used to take lessons in 2013, before I moved to Swindon from Reading. I never took the test as I didn’t feel like I can drive on the road at all (I was apparently very good at manoeuvres, but does…

Croissants and yoghurt (what will I eat tomorrow?)
Ok, so I’m in Portland after the first day of my training for live in care job and I’m having second thoughts. That’s how it often works for me: I don’t know how I feel about something till I’m just about to do it. As I mentioned on the blog I used to really like…

Is it possible to forget how to work?
I feel a bit moody today and like if I lost my confidence. The last couple of months were certainly good for my creativity and to get rid of stress I was under almost constantly but I also feel like I kept myself in my autistic bubble a lot (well, that is probably why I…
