I'm autistic.
Fairly high functioning but mentally the age of 12.
I also have a LOT of health problems which affect my daily life. I had to drop out of school because I spent a lot of time in hospital and fell behind. I also kept fainting due to poor health etc.
I recently got 2 jobs ( I haven't started yet but I got my offers) One is as a Healthcare assistant where I will have to work 3-4 days a week and the other one is as a medical laboratory assistant as a bank job.
My mum isn't happy about me getting the jobs and I think she keeps getting angry at me because she said that I can't do them. I'm 18 now so I'm allowed to work there legally. The money is important becuase I need to save up money for university and also to help my mum get new windows because these ones are rotting. I also want to do something interesting and stimulating. I am obsessed with medical knowledge and these jobs will give me good exposure.
I'm a bit afraid to do the jobs but I've already committed and it's better now than never at all.
How can I make her not angry?
