Disabling language
I read a few times, here and there, that neurotypicals have instinct that they use to talk to people, to connect with them and to manage social situations in general. That did sound a lot like we’re, autistics, are hopeless in those area. I accepted it like that when I read it. It even made […]

Should we be allowed to just be ourselves
I didn’t post yesterday, but this was only because I was giving my website a bit of a break from me, after those emotional 3 days. It’s Sunday today, almost 1pm (when I was writing the first draftof this post). John visited me but he’s already gone! I did notice that he talks differently to […]

Feeling panicky about my trip tomorrow
A few hours ago I received email through Booking.com that my hostel reservation has been cancelled. The property called me a few minutes later to confirm and stated that they had a large group of students coming and are overbooked. That never happened to me before. I started thinking, whether, possibly they were told by […]

For example I answer questions that I don’t want to answer only because they asked. And it doesn’t bring me anywhere, I didn’t make […]

I can’t sleep!
I’m wondering if this is also a side effect of my visualisations? I was visualising that I’m rich and famous and now my brain is trying to work out how to get me there. So possibly visualisations are actually working? But then, how is my brain going to work that out if it’s autistic and […]

I can’t tell anybody that I miss my mum
That’s how I feel now: I would like to call mum and tell her that I miss her after she died. Sorry, I really do not like the ‘passed away’ expression, it seems to me like this term suggests that she’s going to come back. I try to use it, but when I really miss […]
