Do people fight for social status?
I called The Friend and she complained about situation at work, saying there’s a lot of spiteful people there. She kept asking why people do those things because she never does. And in fact she doesn’t seem to be like that at all. It is being said the atmosphere at work depends on good management.…

Sleepless in Seatle and what I learned from it
I just finished that film. It was very popular in Poland when it first came out and for a few years later – I’ve heard it being mentioned multiple times but I never got to watch it somehow. Well, I did now. It was a good time filler for my digital detox – well, ok,…

I was just reading a blog by an autistic influencer on Instagram and I found a post about how autistics always feel they are different than other people and I was absolutely shocked to realise that this common statement doesn’t describe me any more! I really feel like I’m…

The war
I read an article on BBC today about damage and crimes caused in Ukraine by Russians. The description of events wasn’t very detailed, but it didn’t need to be. A woman in her 50s was raped and her husband killed. Another woman in her 30s was raped in front of her child, her husband was…

Do neurotypicals have good social imagination?
It is said that we, autistics, lack social imagination, and I am sure that is true, unfortunately. Social imagination is not the same as regular imagination and it has nothing to do with creativity. Social imagination is the ability to predict how situations in our life are going to unfold and how people are going…
