Word count
I finished polishing my uni assignment today and guess what? We were meant to write 2000 words and the word ‘around’ wasn’t included in the brief. I was obviously worried that if I write 1900 it may be too little while 2100 may be too many so I monitored my word count very closely and,…

I had a uni related meltdown
It was only a mild meltdown, really, but I realised afterwards that I was being bitter on my blog so I deleted that post. I believe we all get bitter sometimes, autistic or not, but somehow non autistic people have it easier to realise that expressing those feelings openly doesn’t make them look good. Blogging…

I don’t think I mentioned about this delay on the blog, but never mind. The email was from Absentia Coordinator, which I guess explains everything at least up to a…

A very good woman
I just finished watching ‘A good woman’, a film with Helen Hunt and Scarlett Johansson, I commented on an interesting conversation from that film here https://autisticandme.com/2022/05/08/it-depends-on-the-imagination/ It turned out it was a good movie, one that teaches us of the importance of not jumping to conclusions. Also the fact that it had so many characters…

It depends on the imagination…
Sorry for the quality of the photo – I was watching a film on Amazon Prime but it turned out I can’t make screenshots there so I got this from YouTube. It’s good enough to ilustrate my point, I hope. I also hope I’m not committing a crime here – but if I am, I’m…
