Carnations
1. I started wondering recently, does art has to be pretty? Some abstract art looks quite messy to me and I don’t particularly like that. I was so pleased with a couple of images I managed to create around a week ago, but since then my brain wants to create things that are more harsh…

I need a change of scenery
1. Me and John decided yesterday that it will be better if I don’t go to Poland for the time being. I am quite worried about the war in Ukraine, maybe not necessarily that Putin is going to attack other countries (although who knows with him? I wouldn’t count on him being logical and down…

Emotional regulation for autistics
I did wonder on my blog a couple of times what it means that autistic people have difficulties with emotional regulation, and neurotypicals find it easier. I never found any explanation for how neurotypicals do that and it did sound to me like after several minutes of being upset they just tell themselves ‘ok, it’s…

The importance of imperfect communication
As everyone knows already, autistics may sometimes say things that sound inappropriate, and this is because we don’t realise how what we’re saying is perceived.

But I know that you’re based in Helsinki, so your native language is Hesinkian I suppose? And you’re must be making enormous effort every day to communicate with your players…

Coping with unexpected events
I read an article today about an autistic girl who just started school and her mum asked the teacher to always explain to that girl at the beginning of the day what is going to happen, so that she doesn’t have to cope with unexpected events as those are stressing her out. And I thought,…

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…

Autism or borderline personality disorder?
I just read an article on Polish website about female who had mental health problems for several years before she received correct diagnosis. When I read that description I was convinced the diagnosis was autism, but not, it was borderline personality disorder. Mind you, I obviously have no idea what it is that she has,…
