Hi,

I am waiting for a diagnosis but everything points to being autistic.  I am 52 and on an apprenticeship at work.  My issue is that I need my functional English skills and I struggle with anything fictional.  I have undergone a neurodiversity assessment through work and it shows I have a specific problem around English. I have to keep doing progress tests on punctuation, spelling, read text etc.  My problem is that because it's based around fiction my brain just can't take it in. It's like looking at a blank piece of paper. It's making me quite anxious, angry, tearful and then makes me want to throw the computer out the window.  Is there anyone that has experienced similar or knows of anything that will help?

  • Thank you for your post, .
    Fiction seems daunting to you when drawing a blank piece of paper. Perhaps moving the drawing board and computer aside and instead experiment with modelling clay. I dare not suggest playdough as those punctuation marks might appear too fictional with their smell however plasticine lands somewhere in the muddle.

    I would if I could ask for you to mock-up anger using a plasticine model. That way I could see a figure of an angry individual in your attempt to model anger using plasticine.
