Effective altruism (in Swindon)
I’m not sure if I understand the concept correctly but it seems to be about praising people and organisations that do good. I normally complain here about various options of support that seem to be available in the UK, but when one (especially an autistic one) reaches out, it turns out there’s nothing substantial there…

Playing ‘the cute one’
Yesterday event went well and it tuned out that deciding not to practice my speech was a good choice – I was going to talk about my life so I knew what I wanted to say. If I tried to practice I’d get fixated on using the exact the same words. Not practicing allowed me…
