Lack of social imagination and the quality of being non judgmental in autistic people
For those of you who don’t know what social imagination is – it’s not the same thing as ‘standard’ imagination that allows people to make up stories of some kind.

The things that John says
I have a longer post to write about my and John’s important conversation yesterday but first, let me recap how I came up with that idea that John is working on his communication skills with my diagnostician. I don’t think I ever put the details here. I broke up with John in January, it was…

What is happening around me?
Today in the morning I decided I need to finally talk seriously with Mr Henderson so I sent the following email: I had to take two screenshots as one just wasn’t enough. I mean the email was bigger than my tablet screen. At first I felt very pleased with myself but again, I didn’t know…

And what is social status for?
The Friend said my theory about employees fighting for social status by getting bitchy may be right. I suppose she knows, just doesn’t want to confirm that with me directly? But then I’m thinking, what is social status for? I suppose so that other staff treated them a bit better, but how far that can…

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 a lot that the atmosphere at work depends…

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 countless of times but I never got to watch it somehow. Well, I did now. It was a good time filler for my digital detox – well,…
