Hi. I have only been looking at what is available in England but really, if you are able to function in the home and have worked in the past, I think that the financial support ie benefits + any other type of support = 0
I've read again and again on these forums about the lack of any support for people who are 'functional'.
I gave up work because of stress but I am lucky because my circumstances changed to allow me to.
However, many autistic adults still have to try to function in a working environment no matter how stressful.
It really is the 'hidden disability'.
Does anyone know anything different?
Thanks
Hello, how can you face the problems of breaking down and crying in public places
This happens when I am confronted with aggression, or passive aggressive behaviour. I immediately start to cry, even if i appear calm. If the other person notices and cares, I may be able to tell them it's a reaction, but more often than not, it escalates into full blown panic if I can't control it.
