Does Canada Goose, clothing company, actually exists?
It’s 11.10am, Friday. I had a bit of a bad morning but don’t want to give too many details here, or at least not now. I feel too emotional for that. Long story short I contacted Mark Henderson, CEO of Home Group twice! I will try to post about how it came to that later,…

Some things were better before diagnosis (hidden agendas don’t need to be revealed)
I see a lot of talk online about how autism diagnosis ‘changed someone’s life’ and I’m at least sceptical. My own diagnosis didn’t bring me happiness – instead it caused many problems that I didn’t have before. In the current state of support for adult autistics I’d say self diagnosis is probably better as it…

Other people have the same experience as me? (I like Boris)
I still can’t wrap my head around what happened yesterday. There is a very strong Polish community in Swindon and I used to be in touch with them for a bit, I even was a teacher in Polish Saturday School for a year. I’m not doing anything with them now but I have them on…

Is pretend play at play here? (My inability to talk to equipment)
It’s 17.33. I’ve been thinking how come I was able to give a speech to 150 people while I was working in Home Group and the person who was bulling me was part of the audience, and I was depressed at the time, but I can’t talk to portable recorder? I started wondering whether that’s…

Nervous laughter (that’s autistic in the radio for you)
I just came back from the radio station. Shirley, the manager, suggested that for now I should read things from my blog. I had the idea to do interviews with people but didn’t know where to take those people from, and, to be honest, what to talk to them about – I’d probably end up…

What is my plan for the radio program?
So tomorrow I’m going to our local radio station called Swindon 105.5. The manager told me that she wants to talk about ‘plan’. But I don’t have any! I thought, if my program is going to be 5 to 10 minutes long plan is not necessary, I’ll just talk about things that I have already…

I’m tired (again)
I really wonder what that is. I keep getting tired a lot for quite a while now. I wish to know if that can be due to peri menopause? Or maybe I’m just tired of constant change? There’s been so much of it since pretty much when I got discharged from the hospital in January…

I got called a troll today (refugees will get benefits)
I’m spending significant amount of time on Facebook groups dedicated to help refugees. I will continue my observation of British public and will keep posting what I’ve noticed. Today I saw a post from a lady who was upset because ‘her’ refugees changed their mind on the last minute and said they’re not coming. She…

I want to be the breave one!
I still feel really panicky. It seems to me like two hostels bookings not working out is a sign that I should stay (notification) but at the same time I feel like I really want to go, to help my country and our neighbours who are stuck there. I know I won’t be able to…
Autistic and me
