If people don’t follow your guidance, do this
Just a quick post as I’m rather tired. I am aware that some autistics complain that other people don’t listen when the autistic comes up with a great idea. It is sometimes difficult to know what to say for that – it can sometimes be our fault and the idea may not be very good, […]

Bad liar
Have you ever wondered how would you feel if you found out that someone who you trust lied to you about something that you consider crucial? Maybe it doesn’t affect you directly but it shapes how you think about yourself in comparison with this person so it affects your friendship. So basically I used to […]

Paris and Nicole – an example of what not to say when falling out with friends

I’m not into celebrities, although I know who some of them are. I am aware celebrities can be such an excellent source of unusual, sometimes inappropriate statements for […]

There are only two people who can tell you the future
I was wondering recently what the future of magazines are going to be like during times when everyone is a content creator. I’m all for people being creative and in fact I love watching unusual make ups or dresses on Instagram; I don’t even mind occasional cat video. I am trying to remember not to […]

Thank you key workers!
1. Me and The Friend went on a trip to Cirencester today. Cirencester is a beautiful medieval town around an hour on the bus from Swindon. I’d really recommend it for you to visit. Make sure you’ll have a look at the cathedral when you are there. There are also loads of places to eat […]

Taxi driver’s wife
I didn’t post for a couple of days because The Friend is here and she’s keeping me busy. That is a quick update: 1. The Friend complained she didn’t like me being calculating during that conversation we had a few weeks ago when I requested her to take me of my speech therapy. She said, […]

If you want to improve your social imagination, don’t focus on people personality
It is said that autistic people are poor at social imagination, that means we can’t predict how complex situations involving people may unfold. It made sense to me for a long time, however, last night I realised something that changed how I see this issue. We are poor at social imagination because when we try […]
