• Autism and cheating

  I read a post on a forum yesterday where a neurotypical man was worried that his autistic girlfriend may be cheating on him. He didn’t say what the signs of her cheating are, other than doing full make up to go to a supermarket (how is this a sign of cheating? I will never understand […]

• Looking for friendship online

  It is said that autistic females have problems with both romantic relationships and friendships. Some claim that friendships are easier for us because ‘guys only want one thing’. Well, believe me, guys want quite a few things from women. John for example expects me to feed and water him when he comes over, apart from […]

• Further reflection on work and personal relationships

  Yesterday evening, after I was made to think about how I will feel if a resident displays challenging behaviour, I at some point told myself ‘this is just a job, you need to keep emotionally detached’ – I tried that thinking for a couple of minutes but finally realised that all I’m doing is trying […]

• Bad liar

  Have you ever wondered how would you feel if you found out that someone who you trust lied to you about something that you consider crucial? Maybe it doesn’t affect you directly but it shapes how you think about yourself in comparison with this person so it affects your friendship. So basically I used to […]

• Nazanin Mandi as a life coach

  https://www.instagram.com/reel/ChIWTG0DxpO/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY= You may be aware I am interested a little bit in the art of coaching. I find it fascinating how some coaches manage to survive and even trive with all the nonsense they say. I think that tells us more about their audience that about them but I’m not aware of any research in […]

• Lack of social imagination and the quality of being non judgmental in autistic people

  For those of you who don’t know what social imagination is – it’s not the same thing as ‘standard’ imagination that allows people to make up stories of some kind. Social imagination is about understanding how real life situations may unfold and how real people are likely to behave in certain situations. I demonstrated lack […]

• I’m delusional but I got engaged

  1. I came up with another reason why my blog statistics went down a couple of weeks ago apart from the fact that it’s summer so people spend lest time online and I actually post less. Basically, my readers probably came up with an idea that what I post about is made up. And it […]

• I think attachment theory is wrong

  I made a post or two a while ago about attachment styles, but will not be linking them as I’m unable to find them, sorry. I presume they may be under dating tag, but I’m not sure. That’s my executive functioning issues for you. So basically, as I was thinking yesterday about what is wrong […]

• Magda’s dating advice

  I was inspired to write this post by a question asked in my autistic female Facebook group: is it ok to date multiple men? Obviously I believe it is ok, as long as you don’t try to tell them that you’re exclusive with them, when you are not. The lady who asked that question stated […]

• Things got a bit messy on my blog recently

  I’m not really sure how that happened. I remember how, several days ago, I decided I will be posting every day. I mean, I was posting fairly regularly already but from time to time, when I felt there are things happening in my life that I don’t want to post about, I wouldn’t post about […]
