  • I'd be happy to help if I can be of any use. I relatively recently gave up self-employment, running my own business, after years, to enter the world of work again. My re-entry into the working world has not gone well at all.

  • I'm really sorry to hear that.  Self employment is a great way for us to avoid the barriers but it is a huge responsibility and in addition your earnings can be insecure, which isn't good for spectrum folk.  I'm really sad to hear working for an employer is not going well.  Can I ask did you disclose to your employer? And are they disability confident?
