Hi All,
I’ve been with my boyfriend for 4 years he has Autism and I’m a NT . We have always had ups and downs and he has always been in and out of work he has just started a new job (1 week in) and already wants to quit. I struggle with reacting in a sympathetic way. I worry about the money side of things - I don’t make enough to cover all our outgoings. So this is my first reaction. He doesn’t think I’m being supportive enough but I’m too worried about money.
Im at a loss of how to feel. I want him to be happy and have a job he loves but I also need him to make enough money to support himself. we talk about having a family one day and I just don’t see how that is possibly.
I’m not really sure what I’m asking or who will see this. Any advise would be helpful.
thanks x
He would be best to apply for ESA and PIP. Most autistics cant work unless it is in their chosen special field or self employed. Working and having a job is not everything in life.
ESA and PIP Debt advisors advised me and I applied for both. I got rejected for both.
On the one hand, by employment advisors and job centres, I get told that I am in perfect physical and mental health and fit for work.
On the other hand, employers, managers, company HR, tell me that I am unemployable and I end up in low paid jobs that nobody wants to do
Life is hard.
