Hi,
My name is Sophie and I'm 23.. for most of my life I have always thought of myself as being different to others.. I struggle with day to day tasks and instructions and always worry about what I'm doing. I work full time and it has only been recently when I have changed jobs that I have realised just how hard I'm finding it. I've always hated change but this is different I guess in my old role it was learnt behaviour on what to do and because I done it for so long it was my routine. Now I dont have that I feel so lost.
I constantly worry about whether things are being done right and have to have things explained to me very basically yet I'm amazing at working spreadsheets and enjoy spending my time making these. I've always been petrified of using public transport alone and having to go to new places or social situations.
I done an online test and scored quite high so booked an appointment with my GP they then referred me to see a specialist. My GP appointment was less than two weeks ago and I have my appointment with the specialist this Thursday.
My boss (whom I have been friends with for the past 8 years) has offered to come with me for this. But I'm so worried about it and what to expect during this.. has anyone got any advice?
Sorry to ramble on, I dont really have anyone that I can talk to about this so have felt very alone with all of this.
Thank you for taking the time to read this:)
