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 […]

‘Be a bit weird’
Above: me, in the communal area of Applewood, with it’s famous red window. It was 23.15, I was meant to be asleep (hence the eye mask) but somehow ended up listening to Pitbull’s International Love – which for me became a symbol of my Employment Tribunal game. I look kind of cute, don’t I? 🙂 […]

Who called for that ambulance?
So, hospital staff was hinting me it was my neighbour who called them. They said they were told I was wandering outside during the night – which I certainly wasn’t; I then thought it was my neighbour who exaggerated to get me help quicker. But maybe it’s the NHS who made it all up, the […]

Looking for friendship online
It is said that autistic females have problems with both romantic relationships and friendships. Some claim that friendships are easier for us because ‘guys only want one thing’. Well, believe me, guys want quite a few things from women. John for example expects me to feed and water him when he comes over, apart from […]

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 Oriana Morrison-Clarke to get her to convince me to sign that […]

Those who dwell, know
To be filled in. My mind doesn’t want to stop producing thoughts, but it’s only 23.05. Hopefully I’ll get my head around things finally and get some sleep before going back to work tomorrow. An open letter to Mr Henderson: in case you keep reading my blog, I’m demanding you to stop immediately. You got […]

An email to The Judgmental One
I just emailed the employer that dismissed me. Please see attached: Hello, I worked for you for a couple of years and was dismissed over a year ago. Don’t worry, I am doing OK now, have a job, also in care, that doesn’t puts me in unnecessary stress and where hazards have been virtually eliminated […]

We need to define another type of abuse in social care (who do I have to forgive?)
As you may know I recently started a new job in elderly care home run by Swindon Borough Council and shortly after I realised that’s the best care home I’ve ever worked in, and because the difference between this one and everything else I knew so far is so huge, I wouldn’t be surprised if […]

Birthday cake anxiety
When I saw John a few days ago he said he’d bake me a cake for my birthday, which is at the end of December. I immediately loved that idea and we started browsing through recipes. John loves cooking but I always had the idea he spends a bit too much time browsing through recipes, […]

Autism, kindness and social anxiety
I just joined local Facebook group for ladies who want to make new friends, but I have no idea what to do apart from that to actually meet someone I could become friends with. It seems to me I’m a terrible judge of character, or at least females character. What doesn’t help is that I […]
