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’ (the password is Smardzewice, if you want to read it) 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…

I guess, because I’ve never seen British person being rude to someone who is black, I assumed racism doesn’t really exist. I…

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…

Is BBC a reliable source of news?
I must say I quite like BBC website. It’s so easy to get news from there. But sometimes it feels to me like things don’t add up in their articles. I read a story about reproductive coercion today where a female said that every time she wanted to do something to be more independent, like…

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…
