Why some people never apologise?
In an attempt to create some content for my blog I came across a blog by Guy Winch, a psychologist who I mentioned on my blog a while ago. Basically Mr Winch states some people don’t apologise because they have a weak ego. The explanation is actually a bit longer and it’s possible I oversimplified […]

This serious business of mine
I did see several ads on Facebook about ‘an online business’ that didn’t disclose what the business was about – you’d need to register to find out and I didn’t want to do that. But just the fact that the type of business wasn’t disclosed was enough for me to know it’s not something legit. […]

Stereotypes about less social people
I found this article interesting: https://www.succeedsocially.com/lesssocialstereotypes Normally I don’t spend much time thinking what if I knew I was autistic sooner but reading this made me think I wish I could have said to a couple of people from my past exactly that: I’m not a weirdo you think I am only because I don’t […]

House with green kitchen floor
I’m reading a book by Martin Slevin titled The little girl in the radiator. I almost finished, there is only a couple of pages left. It’s about author’s mother and how he used to take care of her when she developed Alzheimer’s. It was a rear case where the patient’s communication skills were unaffected – […]

I’m not always naive, you know?
It is said that we, autistics, are naive sometimes. And I guess that is true, unfortunately – I like to think that other people always have pure intentions and I’m constantly on the outlook for a ‘role model’, that I can never find. Possibly if I didn’t look for role models my friendships would last […]

I want to have a child
I’m not quite sure what happened; I was reading yet another book about dementia and I realised suddenly that having a family is a good thing. I presume this realisation could only happen for me when the family I was brought up in stopped existing. Yes, there still is my alcoholic brother but I don’t […]

Should I apologise to my neighbours?
1. Those kind of things always confused me: is it better to apologise for something you did unintentionally or maybe it’s better to pretend I forgot? As you may know the floor in my flat is really poor quality, I have installed soundproofing boards in my main bedroom but I recently mostly sleep in my […]

Can I express my opinions?
What I’m going to describe here is an example of situations that make me overthink. As you may know I signed up for a university course, Msc in Dementia. I started around two weeks late as course already started when I just only got the idea to apply. Every week we have a new topic […]

Is stereotyping always a bad thing?
I did complain on the blog several times that I hate when people stereotype me and when it’s the British who do that I consider it to be racism. I didn’t change my mind about it, as yet. I doubt I ever do. However, two days ago I started reading a book Qualitative Research by […]

Family conflict around meds
I wonder if other people experience that too? John is like a family to me and apart from that I don’t have anyone really (it’s sad, isn’t it?), but I suppose similar issues may appear with living in partner or a husband. So basically he would like me to find a meds that really work […]
