• Monitoring (and I don’t mind CCTV)

  This thing that I’m going to talk about here again should, from technical point of view, have it’s own tag on my blog, but it’s the thing that I don’t want to talk about too openly so I didn’t create one. I still have some readers so possibly they remember how I believed that I […]

• I’m not always naive, you know?

  It is said that we, autistics, are naive sometimes. And I guess that is true, unfortunately – I like to think that other people always have pure intentions and I’m constantly on the outlook for a ‘role model’, that I can never find. Possibly if I didn’t look for role models my friendships would last […]

• Difficult emotions

  After ‘going crazy’ the entire night; despite zopiclone at 21.30; I mean… I had maybe 2h of sleep, I was planning what to do about my university degree. I almost designed my thesis… and now; 9.01am, I’m trying to get some sleep and feel absolutely devastated. I’m useless. Home Group knew that; that’s why they […]

• Allegations vs facts

  If you have a proof allegations becomes facts. Home Group tweeted me yesterday and I cannot believe that I wanted to genuinely forgive them! I thought that they see my perspective and want to make it work somehow but they Were hoping to bribe my diagnostician to get her to convince me to sign that […]

• 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 […]

• Collective illusion

  So, I was meant to make some changes to my blogging patterns: reduce the frequency of posting and stop commenting on my thoughts, as I had the idea that I already came up with all the thoughts that I could possibly have, but then it somehow turns out new things are still appearing on my […]

• Can I get a job in Nationwide?

  For those of you who are not in the UK a brief explanation: Nationwide is a large building society with a head office in Swindon, where I live. Building society doesn’t mean that they’re building anything, it’s very confusing indeed – building society in the UK are companies that are like a bank, but they’re […]

• Weird…

  Some British are really complaining on Facebook that they can’t find a refugee, their messages don’t get answered and stuff. ‘I contacted 40 people and nothing’ one said. Why don’t you just move on in hope that at least the refugees have enough choices? In another post Polish lady who is helping an Ukrainian mum […]

• How do we define success?

  I found this article while looking for some information about how to be authentic. The article states that our society measures success by the amount of savings one have. Psychology Today is an American website so possibly things are different over there? From what I see, British society measures success by the amount of debt […]

• ‘Men don’t display aggression’ – dr Jordan Petterson video

  Please watch the above YouTube video. Dr Jordan Petterson is a well known psychologist and an author. I did hear he can be sexist sometimes but I sometimes watch his videos anyway. I watch all kinds of videos, even if I don’t agree with people who made them. I generally like having an option to […]
