Worried again
I woke up terribly worried again about my mum: her wellbeing, her care home, her pressure sores and the fact I need to get dressings but don’t know which size to get. Also I need to deliver her medical history to her care home but I don’t know where to get it from, whether it…

My last job
I was sacked from my last job. I explained that a bit in my last post. And I don’t mean the job for Home Group here, Home Group didn’t sack me, I left. My last job was in a care home. I found it a bit difficult working there full time. I like taking care…

Universal credit
So I had my UK Job Centre appointment over the phone and I found out that if I’m out of the country for over 28 days my claim will be stopped. It doesn’t seem very fair, if I went to sort out the same situation to another town in the UK my benefits wouldn’t be…

11.30am – can’t go this way
I am in to Piotrków Trybunalski. I came here to check my mum’s bank account as power of attorney has already been registered. So the good thing is no more money has been stolen, mum has enough for 4 years of a private care home (if I add her pension) but POA doesn’t allow me…

8.35am – am I autistic enough
That’s what I’m wondering about sometimes. I describe ‘normal life’ here, even though having a massive leak in the kitchen, being victim of fraud or serious workplace harassment is certainly not normal, but I guess you may know what I mean: I don’t write about sensory issues (even though I’m oversensitive to noise), I don’t…

Second attempt
This is my second attempt at blogging. The first time was when I had Employment Tribunal claim against Home Group. I found it very difficult at the time, my mind was constantly focused on the claim but I didn’t want to write about it so I quickly ended up struggling with ideas. I only managed…

Coping
I was just thinking how mum always tried to help me to cope with things. She didn’t seem to understand the world around her very well but had good ideas sometimes. Her ideas helped me organise a lift to the airport at the beginning of lockdown when majority of buses got cancelled and we only…

Morning of The Day
I’ll be leaving my hostel in a few minutes to get to mum’s care home to sign power of attorney. Google map says it’s 30 minutes walk, that means I need to allocate at least 45. Weather is not very nice but it’s not raining. The night in a hostel was OK. For the price…

Immaturity
I did hear that autistic people are immature and I wonder sometimes what that actually means. If I wasn’t autistic, would I deal any better with this situation? Would I not be fed up? Would I not believe that money should be spent on home improvement rather than putting elderly relatives into care homes? Especially…

Woke up early
I went to sleep just after 22.30 and woke up before 2am. That’s not a lot of sleep, but should be ok in terms of my mental health (my two psychotic episodes were inducted by stress and insomnia.) Strange that I don’t feel tired at all. It would still be nice to sleep now. It’s…
Autistic and me
