Learning to be independent

Hi there, welcome - I have a few things that have really helped me, one is having lots of timetables. Having a timetable for the year, month, week and day can really help to visualise upcoming events. I have a monthly calendar on the wall, a daily routine on a pin board and a weekly diary for tasks, as well as a weekly meal plan, and putting outfits out the night before is useful too. Being conscientious with planning is very helpful. Planning in advance for events, holidays, birthdays, conversations really helps, down to as much detail as you'd like. Also I would recommend considering possibly living alone, so you can get used to your own needs and routine as it could be tricky to navigate spontaneous conversation and different routines. For work, workplaces can provide a lot of help now - I have a very good experience with my workplace and my colleagues are very supportive. The type of work I do now is written research which doesn't need too much speech and is quite relaxing, so looking for work on the less verbal side of things could be helpful depending on what your preferences are. Take it a step at a time, and best of luck!

Hi I have just created a visual timetable and I have carers during the day I’m waiting for the right home with a property. I’m a great planner just not good at communicating my plans and things like meal planning I need to do more of so far I do breakfast and lunch and one meal 

I’m not looking for work yet but when I do I want to work somewhere I can take my shoes off
