Balanced communication
The radio programme by autistic people was meant to be prepared soon and as you are aware I was looking forward to it but at the same time deciding what to say was giving me loads of distress. Writing was always coming much more easily for me than speaking, even in Polish so that is…

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…

My psychiatric nurse is leaving
I saw my psychiatric nurse yesterday and she said she’s leaving. I am quite sad about it. I really liked her. I’m however a bit confused if she’s going to leave for sure, just because of the way she’s said that – that she will be working ‘in one of the surgeries’ which then made…

‘You don’t want your autism to define you’

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. That doesn’t necessarily mean what we say is what we really think. I should be speaking for myself here but I assume this may also be an experience of other…

I had a dream that my mum simulated her own death (should I be talking meds ‘for autism’?)
Last night I had that dream: I was in Poland and mum was with me. She was able to walk and speak normally. I don’t know how I found her but at some point I started wondering how come she’s alive and where she actually lives if I cancelled her care home payments. Then neighbours…
