Work

Hi. I'm new here

I don't work because of my Autism and anxiety. Both are terrible and cause shut/meltdowns which is embarrassing when it happens so I haven't applied for a few years. It's also stressful and takes it out of me.

I feel bad for not being able to work. I see my dad who works every day and very hard but I haven't ever worked. I do writing at home. Writing is one of my favourite hobbies I do it every day. I would love to do that for work but I don't think I'm good enough at all.

I'm tempted to try and apply again but it's so stressful and I don't want to make myself bad like before. It's difficult.

Sorry for writing so much.

Welcome. There's no need to apologise for writing so much, you can write as much as you want on here

It would be great if you could turn your favourite hobby into some kind of work. Writing for a living could also be done from home, which would take away a lot of the stress and anxiety around being in an overwhelming workplace environment. I am not sure how achievable such a career path would be though.

There was a post on here earlier, asking about courses and learning options relating to writing. Maybe that would be a good place to start. https://community.autism.org.uk/f/adults-on-the-autistic-spectrum/26966/adults-education-courses-are-there-any-resources-and-help-to-guide-people-on-the-spectrum-please
