Do you work, or study, or just do things around the house?
I'm jobless at the moment. But I am looking for work but I failed at school and have nothing to aid me getting a job. The idea of working makes me so nervous but surviving without income looks hard, and in time I want my own family one day so I need to be able to provide.
I was looking at studying but I'm too nervous and I'm not very good at learning which I guess is why I failed school.
So at the moment I'm just doing things around the house and am trying to better myself
Hi Jess, I am a lot older than you and I have had 3 carers, firsts as an Engineer, then a computer architect and now as a probation Officer.
I did not do well at school, but I blame that on the environment, rather than me. I found universities far more enjoyable as I was with people who wanted to learn. You need to look at yourself, your skills and your needs. Some industries are a far more positive of neurodiversity and I would recommend the Civil Service. the Open University is amazing, as you can learn at your own pace. Maybe college evening classes for Maths and English first
Your careers sound interesting. Do you have a favourite one? :)
I didn't do well in school. Too much noise, too many people and the work was so hard and there was a lot of bullying to endure through it all. This led to a lot of anxiety for me! And the end result wasn't worth all the hassle, in the end I failed everything. Found exams way too stressful just got everything wrong. Thanks for your suggestions I do appreciate it and I'll look in to them.
