I feel emotional
I’m back in my accommodation after spending most of the day outside. I had loads of walks, ate cake for lunch and drank large glass of wine in the afternoon. It was a good day overall. I may go out later again to get something to eat but it depends on how hungry I am. […]

Croissants and yoghurt – continuation
Ok, just a quick post as I’m really tired today. I barely had any sleep last night, that’s how bad the mattress in the previous hotel was. 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 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 live in care job so […]

Is it possible to forget how to work?

Finally I’m going for my work training next week. The training is in Portland which is a small town in Dorset and the closest train station is Weymouth. It takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday so I have to go there on Monday as I wouldn’t be able to get there on Tuesday morning, it […]

Autism – how it all began (the importance of effective communication)
I tried to listen to some podcasts about autism today and came across Emily Klonowski’s podcast called Let’s talk about autism. Emily is not a specialist but a psychology student, however it shocked me how unaware she is of her communication. In the introduction to her podcast she says she will be talking about autism […]

Yes, I have a driving license (but I do not drive)
And anyway, it’s only provisional… ok, I’ll come back to this part later. Since I bought my subscription to PicsArt on the 10th of December last year, I seriously didn’t anticipate this may ever happen, but I don’t want to do any more art at the moment. Not forever, oh no, I’m sure I’ll come […]

A night of poor sleep
Ok, so I didn’t prioritise sleep yesterday as I chose to do patterns instead, until around 10pm when I saw those two images with words ‘game over’ in my PicsArt feeds. It was really strange, wouldn’t you agree? But I stated here before that I respond to notifications. Of course not all of them – […]
Autistic and me
