Watch out for… logical fallacy
https://mentalhealthathome.org/2022/02/10/what-is-logical-fallacy/ I just read this post on Ashley Peterson’s blog. I think this is what neurotypicals do quite a lot: twisting facts to make it look like they’re right. Possibly reading about it in a bit more details will make it easier to spot that for us, autistics. I wonder whether this should be included…

Googe calendar is a winner
I’m all for supporting small companies but after trying various other planners I need to admit that Google calendar is the only one that gives me almost exactly what I want. I didn’t find how I can check how many hours per week I work but at least it presents the information in a visual…

I feel better, finally
After sleeping almost 9h previous night, I had 10h of sleep last night. This is such a massive improvement – being able to sleep excesively when I’m going through stressful time is so much better than sleeping for 1 or 2h a night and developing psychosis as a result. Therefore I’d really recommend everyone Sleep…

How I marked my mum’s funeral day
I had two naps today for around 4h in total. I wonder if dr Guy Meadows, the founder of Sleep School would be proud of me, or would he feel shocked and devastated? He could be proud because for such a long time sleeping when I was under stress was almost impossible and having a…

What is emotional regulation? (nonverbal communication)
When I first started reading about autism I came accross the term ’emotional regulation’. All the articles I read stated that autistic people are not good with that. I understood it’s about our ability to deal with stress and not getting upset easily and I agreed I wasn’t good at it. Although that thought brought…
