It’s complicated
That is my current relationship status on Facebook. I’m not quite sure why I chose it because, when I first broke up with John, I told him it’s definitely over. Our relationship seemed to be devoid of passion lately and I can’t blame it on anyone, not even myself. I guess this is what happens…

My challenging communication style and relationships
It took me ages to understand how my challenging communication style affects relationships. It’s not a positive impact, that’s for sure, but I feel like this communication style is who I am. I can’t change it only because I know that a relationship may fail. It is my understanding that if something doesn’t work properly…

I feel so independent now
Don’t get me wrong, my mum was a lovely person, and very helpful. But I often felt like she was holding me hostage. It was very subtle and quite possibly a neurotypical person wouldn’t really notice that or coped with it better. I felt she was constantly worrying about me and wanted me to prove…

I can’t grieve
Possibly you find it strange that I post just after my mum died. But I’m not doing that for attention – I don’t get much of that from the blog. The purpose of the blog is to record how I feel and think but also to unload my emotions. Before I started blogging I used…

There were things happening lately…
That is what neurotypical people say when they had something going on but don’t want to discuss that. So that is what happened to me. I didn’t sleep the entire night thinking about what I should do. I think I may need to break up with The Boyfriend. It’s difficult. I still love him but…

Croissants and yoghurt – continuation
Ok, just a quick post as I’m really tired today. I barely had any sleep last night, that’s how bad the mattress in the previous hotel was. Now I’m in Weymouth and trying to rest but I feel like the whole idea of blogging about autism specific communication is suddenly overwhelming me. Possibly there is…

Work training (and dodgy Booking.com host)
I’m going for my work training next week. The training is in Portland which is a small town in Dorset and the closest train station is Weymouth. Training takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday so I have to go there on Monday as I wouldn’t be able to get there on Tuesday morning, it is…
Autistic and me
