Good mental health
I suppose writing openly about mental health requries me mentioning the times when my mental health is good. I am actually surprised how much better I feel when my problems (sort of) has been managed and my contact with people is limited and rather formal – only during interviews. I didn’t feel low or on…

Something positive
For a few days now one of the games I downloaded when I was in Poland sends me an unusual notification every evening: ‘Love is everywhere. Just look for it.’ There is a heart symbol at the end. When I first saw it I thought it’s really strange, why a game would send this type…

Home at last

My severely bad mood started two days ago, after I realised I have almost everything sorted. I think,…

Don’t ask me direct questions please
It is normally said that autistics are bad communicators but when I spoke with my diagnostician, I always knew straight away what she wanted and I was willing to do that.
