Nursing and Autism

NAS73516
over 3 years ago

I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Carlie and I am student adult nurse.

I was recently diagnosed with ASC last month and I am awaiting ADHD assessment. 

I love being a student nurse and I can't think of doing anything else now, but I do facer adversity and I do feel alone with my diagnosis in the work/ placement environment. 

I was wondering if there were any nurses or student nurses here that might want to share their

experiences or difficulties going into social, highly-pressured working environment and any coping strategies?

Thank you!

    There are loads of healthcare workers who are ASC. Join the club. I was an autistic GP for 40 years. Your enthusiasm may be  taken  advantage of by others. Only work your paid hours!

    I'm actually only enthusiastic about being at work in my working hours. I am currently very disrupted by the fact that my lunch isn't falling at 12pm every day like I could ensure in my old job. There are always meetings running into lunch time. Really bugs me. I never let work spill into my fun time because that spoils my knitting time, and I get very anxious if I can't have time for my interests.
