What is my plan for the radio program?
So tomorrow I’m going to our local radio station called Swindon 105.5. The manager told me that she wants to talk about ‘plan’. But I don’t have any! I thought, if my program is going to be 5 to 10 minutes long, plan is not necessary, I’ll just talk about things that I have already…

Refugees
I found out recently that there are scammers among Ukrainians. It’s so difficult for me to imagine that. I mean, I believe there are dishonest people in every nation but somehow it feels to me like the current crisis should cancel the dishonesty out! I wonder if neurotypicals think the same way? I only found…

Learning to say no to opportunities
A few weeks ago, after I drafted my speech ‘Other people perspective’ I emailed it to a lady from one of Swindon charities that used to provide me with advocacy after I got out of psychiatric hospital at the beginning of 2020. Although I didn’t get what I wanted (new door, that got damaged by…

Disappointed
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…

British supremacy

It’s about black chemistry professor who had his every single application for funding or research turned down! I could not believe that. I guess, because I’ve never seen British person being rude to someone who is black, I assumed racism doesn’t really exist. I…

Archetypal war vs down to earth war
It’s 23.52 now. I can’t sleep, as usual when I try to work out what is going on. So I’ve been thinking about this phenomenon where on one side you have this enormous willingness of British public to take Ukrainian refugees into their homes and, what looks like almost no Ukrainians wanting to go. Some…

Should I take a refugee?
I’ve been thinking, maybe when (and if) I go to Poland, I should find an Ukrainian refugee to bring back with me? I would need to tidy up the spare room, but it’s not too bad and I recently got rid of a massive armchair from there, that wasn’t very comfortable to sit on, so…

Is calling to kill Putin wrong?
I read lately a couple of articles where people explained that when they made certain statements they didn’t mean that they were calling for Putin to be killed. And I’m wondering, is calling to kill him wrong? I’m sure that most people would agree that killing in self defence is ok. Killing during a war,…

The concept of ‘deserving’
It is said, that it’s us, autistics, who get social situations wrong. I wonder whether that extends to psychological and social concepts? And does that mean neurotypicals never get things wrong in this area? Let’s take the concept of ‘deserving’ good things in life. The events that I’d like to experience don’t happen to me…
Autistic and me
