Pathetic Whining

Yttrium

3.20am. Just posted my Capability for Work Questionnaire to the Health Assessment Advisory Service. My anxiety levels are through the roof. I know that I will be asked to attend an assessment interview in the next month or so. At the interview I will be just as autistic as I was at the previous one but still they put me through this unnecessary torture. I am not currently on any medication but I am going to have to ask my doctor to prescribe something to get me through this. Apologies. End of whine. Thanks for reading this far.  Slight smile

  • I’m really sorry that you’re having to go through this! You’re not whining at all, it seems extremely stressful! I do think they should end repeated assessment interviews for capability for work, where a person suffers from a lifelong condition from which they are not going to recover! I hope that your doctor can prescribe you something to take the edge off of the anxiety for you! Best of luck!

  • Not wishing to give you any form of false hope, but I seem to vaguely remember that for some job opportunities, there is the option of going for an alternative to job interviews as a means of addressing the difficulties that some people on the autistic spectrum can have surrounding Job interviews... If this is something that would be of interest to you, I would recommend that you look into this using the assessment interview... Worst thing that they can say is no and who knows? It may even aid you with your anxiety!

    Wishing you all the best,
