English, Polish, Korean and Japanese are all fine.
Please do not turn a private account into a booking office. Work goes through management and my guardians, where it can be checked properly.
If you meet me
I hear fine, so speak normally. These small habits make an ordinary conversation much easier.
Let me finish typing. The pause is part of the conversation, not an empty space to fill.
The device says my words aloud, but it is a tool. I am the person answering you.
That includes hugs, hair, hands and helping with my communication device.
Clear details, advance warning and a quieter one-to-one plan are usually easier than surprises. They can be spoken; my hearing is fine.
Stop the rapid questions, give me space and involve a trusted adult if help is needed.
I can still use a phone, paper, gestures, signs and a very expressive face.
You interrupted
Say sorry and let me finish. No long guilt speech required.
I need quiet
Do not turn it into a test of whether I like you. My brain may simply be full.
You did not understand
Ask one clear question. Do not pretend, guess for me or pass my answer to somebody else.
Official channels
These are the accounts I actually use with my team. If an account is not here, it is not me, however convincing the username looks.

management@mutestas.comAll professional contactWhat happens next
I do not sit refreshing this inbox myself. Two adults, including a guardian, read the messages and sort them into work, press, writing and kind notes. This is roughly what happens next.
Within 48 hours
You should get a real reply confirming that the message arrived and saying where it has gone next.
Within 5 working days
Press and writing enquiries usually receive next steps, questions or a polite no. When the reason can be shared, it is.
Within 10 working days
Booking enquiries usually receive availability, rates and the questions needed to see whether the job really fits. Contracts and safety details come after that.
For kind notes
The team cannot answer every kind note, but I do read them. They matter. They also do not need to call me inspiring for getting out of bed.
If you don’t hear back
Please resend after ten working days. Spam filters exist and my management would rather see a duplicate than miss you.
A note on tone
Write as if you are writing to a person, not approaching a rare woodland animal. You do not need to be delicate. Clear details make a reply much easier.
If it’s urgent press
Put “PRESS · deadline [date]” in the subject. That lets management see the real deadline. Using it when there is no press deadline mostly proves that capital letters work.
If you’re a young person
You can just write. You don’t need a company, a title, or a project. Say hi, say where you’re writing from, and ask what you want to ask. Those messages get read too.
