Why a job in Nationwide wouldn’t work for me (and what should I do instead)
Last night I made that post about how I would like to use my experience from my employment tribunal claim to get a job in Nationwide. It all sounded well on the face value: I am really good at poking holes in systems and spotting patterns that others don’t necessarily see, or choose not to […]

Can I get a job in Nationwide?
For those of you who are not in the UK a brief explanation: Nationwide is a large building society with a head office in Swindon, where I live. Building society doesn’t mean that they’re building anything, it’s very confusing indeed – building society in the UK are companies that are like a bank, but they’re […]

Why Home Group hired an expensive lawyer to deal with my employment tribunal claim?
As you may be aware, I realised I am autistic just before starting a new job for Home Group, a large housing association with head office in Newcastle. Yes, that is all a true story, unfortunately. I initially thought I didn’t need a diagnosis because I was ok for years, but as I got bullied […]

Looking for hidden meanings (My brain damage)
As I stated earlier I had a lovely time with John and we’re all good again. Also, I felt really relaxed and had no reason to worry about anything. After he left in the morning (he still has work to do around the house) we exchanged a few brief but sweet emails and it was […]

Why I contacted CEO of Home Group (again)
Ok, so I’m not very proud of it. Those are things that I do sometimes – I lash out. But only towards people that I don’t respect. A while ago I promised myself I will not be contacting him again, I know it’s not very elegant and also, what I am doing that for? To […]

Is Ryanair monitoring me?
Those of you who read my blog regularly may be aware I at times believe I’m being monitored. I discussed that in more details around 21st of January, after my mum passed away. I can’t quite work that out 100% but then, I guess, if my psychiatric nurse is not concerned about me having this […]

Why is life so cruel?
It’s difficult to focus on blogging when I know what is happening in Ukraine. It seems like the problems that are describe here are so insignificant, that I should shut up. Even though I know that is not true. This blog was meant to record my feelings and thoughts, but I don’t even know what […]

Hello, I’m fine
I didn’t post since Thursday, I think. Today it’s Saturday. I think I was still trying to process the radio revelation, but I probably owe it to my readers to post more regularly. I guess people who read some of those dramatic posts I made at various difficult times may deserve to know what’s happening […]

Still anonymous
I have to say that I stopped taking my ‘anonymity’ seriously – it seems like it’s just a hiding game now. People can still read on the blog which country I’m from, which village I was brought up in, what job I do, where I live now and even how tall I am. And of […]

I woke up feeling sad this morning
It is said that we, autistics, have difficulties with recognising our feelings. I can recognise at least some of them, I can definitely recognise sadness, anger and fear. But the problem is that I don’t understand why recognising our feelings is supposed to be so important. It seems to me that if I was unable […]
