I was a racist once
I need to discuss this uncomfortable concept here. I was thinking that, although we all, in British society, try to raise the awareness of racism we rarely talk in details about what it actually is and what it isn’t. The British don’t want to touch this subject because they are worried they will be attacked…

Taxi driver communication adventures
1. I’m enjoying my spare bedroom. Not that I slept much (it’s 6am) and I can hear neighbour coughing (I’m not wearing earplugs at the moment) but I like the vibe it gives me. It feels like spare bedroom is good for when I feel the need to escape the world a little bit, while…

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?

Paris and Nicole – an example of what not to say when falling out with friends
In an attempt to create content I started reading Nicole Richi’s Wikipedia page yesterday. Don’t ask me how it came to that, lol. I don’t quite know. 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…
