Fortune telling
There is this meditation in Sleep School app called exactly that: fortune telling. It’s about thinking pattern where we try to predict what is going to happen and I must admit, I do that a lot. Even with little things. For example, while doing my grocery shopping in Lidl yesterday I was trying to ‘predict’…

Changes in life and social imagination (need a role model)
Regarding my previous recent post – I did have the same reaction for a couple of months when I first started studying physics, in Łódź, when I was 18. I wonder now whether this is just lack of social imagination? I do think I’m really bad in this field; I can’t imagine that my life…

Am I at risk of fraud?
I did post here a year ago how my mum become victim of fraud perpetrated by her favourite bank employee. It all looked really strange; the employee apparently stole such a large sum of money that she could have lived in a mansion but she lived in a flat. She had a husband and a…

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 slightly (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,…

Looking for friendship online
It is said that autistic females have problems with both romantic relationships and friendships. Some claim that friendships are easier for us because ‘guys only want one thing’.

Those who dwell, know
To be filled in. My mind doesn’t want to stop producing thoughts, but it’s only 23.05. Hopefully I’ll get my head around things finally and get some sleep before going back to work tomorrow. An open letter to Mr Henderson: in case you keep reading my blog, I’m demanding you to stop immediately. You got…

Does it matter how you got the job if everything works just fine?
I post here a while ago how I got that second job in The Company (not using their real name here means I’m in tension reduction stage of my challenging behaviour spree; in case you could not work that out. By all means it’s not my intention to hide anything from the public eye). Basically,…

We need to define another type of abuse in social care (who do I have to forgive?)
As you may know I recently started a new job in elderly care home run by Swindon Borough Council and shortly after I realised that’s the best care home I’ve ever worked in, and because the difference between this one and everything else I knew so far is so huge, I wouldn’t be surprised if…

Birthday cake anxiety
When I saw John a few days ago he said he’d bake me a cake for my birthday, which is at the end of December. I immediately loved that idea and we started browsing through recipes. John loves cooking but I always had the idea he spends a bit too much time browsing through recipes,…
