• Villains of my speech therapy

  I was wondering recently who takes part in my speech therapy voluntarily, who is forced to do that and who refuses. The thing is, Oriana has no ability to force people outside of my mental health team to say certain things to me; they can still behave however they want to and I won’t know […]

• How to deal with passive-agressive behaviour

  I do understand that I didn’t discuss patient confidentiality yet in my posts. As you may be aware I believe that I’m on speech and language therapy delivered by the community for like a year and 4 months now and very recently that thing started seriously getting on my nerves, but my mental health provider […]

• The things that John says

  I have a longer post to write about my and John’s important conversation yesterday but first, let me recap how I came up with that idea that John is working on his communication skills with my diagnostician, Oriana Morrison-Clarke. I don’t think I ever put the details here. I broke up with John in January, […]

• Communication from the system perspective

  I think I already mentioned here the concept that I call ‘communication from the system perspective’. I think that would be very useful to know for parents of autistic kids. Possibly for partners of autistic adults a little bit too, but obviously adults judge situations differently. So basically communication from a personal perspective would be […]

• My head is about to explode

  That’s how I feel, and I’m sorry to say that. My psychiatric nurse decided not to discharge me just yet. I presume that was because of me pointing out to her that she can’t do that if she thinks I’m paranoid. So yes, she is worried about my paranoia. But then she said that she […]

• Thinking makes me fed up

  Ok, so I posted a few times on the blog that I believe I receive speech and language therapy through the community and even my boyfriend got involved in it. I don’t have any hard evidence for it and if I say something to my psychiatric nurse, she says it’s a delusion, yet she treats […]

• Baron-Cohen and the likes

  Targeting autism researchers on twitter was a lot of mental effort. I mean, I only targeted two of them. Neither of them reacted. It was really upsetting, you know, having the idea that whatever I say and do, they don’t care. They have their own agenda that is much more important than autistic people wellbeing. […]

• If I can’t report antisocial behaviour

  That is happening online, does that mean that I have to stop it? I don’t quite understand. But it does make some kind of sense. But then, what about Oriana’s communication methods? Will she take them to the grave? And nothing positive will ever come out of the drama that I’ve been putting myself through […]

• I don’t know what happened to me

  Or actually, I do know… basically, when I realised I’m autistic, a lot of things suddenly made sense to me. Especially the frequent misunderstandings with people. I then thought, well, it has to be like that, there’s no help here. I’m autistic, therefore I’m impossible to communicate with. There’s no way out of it. I […]

• A list of what I would like

  The Friend is coming over on the 20th of July to stay with me for two weeks. I am mildly excited, although also a tiny bit apprehensive; I’m convinced Oriana will be giving her phrases to say to me to make me either realise something or provide me with an autistic entertainment. It doesn’t bother […]
