I coped on the show but I feel feel crap
So, how the show worked was that we briefly discussed a subject when the music was playing and then repeated the same thing but in a more animated way when we were live. It looked like masking to me. It’s very funny because if I didn’t know much about autism I’d assume this is what…

My big radio day
Obviously I am probably exaggerating – the fact that I will be on a live radio programme is a big deal for me, but it probably shouldn’t take that much of my attention. The pressure to say all the right things may not be huge but it’s certainly there. I had my breakfast and will…

‘E’ ruined everything
As Ashley Peterson, a fellow blogger, pointed out in her comment yesterday, the film with Juliette Binoche is called Chocolat, and not how I thought Chocolate. And who knows, possibly the ‘e’ at the end was the reason why my request to join eating disorder support Facebook group has been declined. It’s hard to say,…

I’m allocating myself a reward
I’m on my way from the local radio station, and I must say the chat with the manager went really well. I will write more about it later, possibly even tomorrow, after I put things into perspective, but for now I wanted to say that I had a feeling like I want to allocate myself…

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? But then, what about neurotypicals who seem to put how they feel above everything else, and especially above pure logic. Like this concept of ‘deserving’ good things in life. The events that I’d…
