Is there anyone on here that cannot work due to the type of autism they have, for example get meltdowns and find working for other people too stressful so you don't work.
But you do manage to get out maybe a few hours a week or month and socialise with a mix of people (NT's included) and you just keep your autism for socialising hidden, so that you don't be judged, and you will keep that energy out and go out for a drink, dance, dinner, pub etc and enjoy your time with others, but off course come back home and rest and recharge for the rest of the week/days .
I work in the family business but not all the time. My anxiety and autism can be debilitating and some days I can't bring myself to leave the house and go near my parents. I hate that and I feel bad about it. But that's the nature of my autism it's who I am. If I'm in a good place I'll go out maybe two hours a day but if I'm not then I'll hardly go out because I'm too afraid to.
